The Evals Team sits at the heart of our mission. We train foundational models for search. Our goal is to build systems that can instantly filter the world's knowledge to exactly what you want, no matter how complex your query. Basically, put the web into an extremely powerful database. And to do that well, we need to measure what "good search" actually means. That's where you come in.

Your work will play a key role in Exa's mission of a perfect information society.
