Research Engineer, Benchmarks

ABOUT THE ROLE

Join a small, technical team working on AI evaluation and reinforcement learning infrastructure. You will design and build rigorous benchmarks for assessing AI agents on realistic, domain-specific workflows, helping research and engineering teams understand how well agents perform in practice.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design, implement, and maintain benchmarks for evaluating AI agents on domain-specific tasks.
• Work with subject-matter experts to translate real workflows into practical tasks and evaluation criteria.
• Build reliable infrastructure to run models and agents against benchmark tasks at scale.
• Develop metrics and analyses to assess benchmark difficulty, reliability, and failure modes.
• Validate benchmark results against real-world evaluations and user needs.
• Write clear technical documentation and reports that explain methods and results.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Two to four years of experience in software engineering, machine learning engineering, or research, including at least two years building AI benchmarks, evaluation infrastructure, or agent environments.
• Hands-on experience designing and running evaluations or benchmark environments for AI agents or large language models.
• Strong proficiency with Python, Docker, and Linux, including building and operating reliable infrastructure.
• Experience developing metrics, statistical analyses, or validation studies for evaluation systems.
• Experience collaborating with subject-matter experts and understanding workflows across technical or business domains.
• Strong technical writing, careful attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in an early-stage, fast-moving environment.
• Research publications or technical writing on benchmarking, model evaluation, or failure modes are beneficial. Experience with reinforcement learning pipelines or public benchmark projects is also useful.
