Full Job Description
About the Role

Evaluation is the bottleneck in healthcare AI - you can't ship what you can't measure. You'll build the systems that tell us whether our models are safe, accurate, and ready for real patients: evaluation frameworks, synthetic data pipelines, automated benchmarks, and LLM-as-judge systems. This is a high-leverage engineering role where your work directly gates what goes to production.

What You'll Do
  • Design and build evaluation frameworks for LLM safety, clinical accuracy, and conversational quality
  • Develop synthetic data generation pipelines to stress-test models across diverse clinical scenarios
  • Build automated and human-in-the-loop evaluation pipelines at scale
  • Create benchmarks, metrics, and LLM-as-judge systems for healthcare tasks and conversational experience
  • Analyze failure modes and translate findings into actionable model improvements by collaborating with the LLM post-training team
  • Collaborate with research, engineering, and clinical teams to define and raise the quality bar
What You Bring

Must-Have
  • MS or PhD in CS or related field
  • 5+ years in ML engineering, evaluation systems, or applied ML
  • Strong software engineering skills - Python, PyTorch, and production-quality code
  • Hands-on experience with LLM evaluation, benchmarking, or synthetic data generation
  • Comfort building robust data analysis and evaluation infrastructure, not just running experiments
  • Experience with UI/UX and front-end development toolkits such as Streamlit, Gradio, React, etc.

Nice-to-Have
  • Experience in healthcare AI
  • Experience with RL/RLVR/RLHF or safety evaluation
