TL;DR · AI Engineer, Algorithm Evaluation & Agentic Systems

AI Engineer – Algorithm Evaluation & Agentic Systems joins the DAQ team to evaluate and elevate advanced visual technologies. This role focuses on benchmarking and integrating state-of-the-art models for image and video understanding rather than core model training. The engineer will design and scale comprehensive evaluation pipelines, perform deep failure analysis to identify hallucinations or temporal inconsistencies, and architect agentic workflows for multi-step problems like video summarization and visual search. Key responsibilities include curating high-quality golden datasets and providing data-driven insights to model training teams. Required skills include a strong foundation in machine learning principles, computer vision expertise with Vision Transformers, and experience with LLM/VLM-as-a-judge methodologies. The role requires proficiency in Python and PyTorch to build scalable evaluation systems while addressing challenges in AI safety, reliability, and multi-modal capabilities within the domain of advanced video understanding.

What you'll do

  • Design and scale comprehensive evaluation pipelines for image and video understanding tasks.
  • Conduct deep failure analysis to identify root causes of hallucinations and temporal inconsistencies in video models.
  • Build and deploy agentic workflows that use vision models to solve multi-step user problems.
  • Curate high-quality, schematized datasets and ground-truth benchmarks for multi-modal capabilities.
  • Provide data-driven insights and metrics to model training teams to guide fine-tuning efforts.
  • Develop robust metrics and automated regression testing for generative AI and foundation models.
  • Implement LLM/VLM-as-a-judge methodologies and human-in-the-loop evaluation systems.

What we're looking for

  • Master's degree and at least 3 years of relevant industry experience.
  • At least 3 years of applied experience in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, or AI System Evaluation.
  • Deep understanding of core ML principles including probability, statistics, data distributions, and model bias/variance.
  • Theoretical and practical expertise in Computer Vision (CV) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs).
  • Proven track record of designing robust evaluation frameworks for generative AI or foundation models.
  • Experience building and evaluating LLM/VLM-powered agents including tool use, reasoning, and memory management.
  • Proficiency in Python and experience with PyTorch for inference and building scalable pipelines.
  • Ability to perform deep failure analysis to identify hallucinations and performance bottlenecks.
