TL;DR · Machine Learning Engineering Manager, Evaluation, Responsible AI and Safety

AIML - Machine Learning Engineering Manager, Evaluation - Responsible AI and Safety will lead a team of machine learning engineers and data scientists within the Responsible AI group. The manager will oversee the assessment, quantification, and improvement of safety and inclusivity for generative-AI powered features. Key responsibilities include operationalizing policy into measurable criteria, designing datasets, developing LLM- and human-in-the-loop methods for data analysis, and overseeing data pipelines to inform product decisions. The role requires proficiency in Python, Pandas, and AI-assisted coding tools to evaluate large language models, diffusion models, and multimodal systems. The work focuses on minimizing unintended consequences across society by developing metrics for fairness risks, conducting failure investigations, and managing sensitive content to ensure trusted, high-quality AI experiences.

What you'll do

  • Develop metrics to evaluate safety and fairness risks in generative models and features.
  • Design datasets and identify data needs using human and synthetic generation methods.
  • Develop sampling strategies combining human annotation with auto-grading for high-confidence insights.
  • Implement data pipelines to execute end-to-end safety evaluations for multimodal models.
  • Automate manual workflows and scale infrastructure to optimize evaluation velocity for product releases.
  • Distill project findings into actionable insights for product engineering and safety policy teams.
  • Analyze evaluation results and conduct failure investigations to improve feature safety.
  • Present safety metrics and experimental interpretations to senior leadership and stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • MS or PhD in a relevant science or technology field with 4+ years of experience, or a BA/BS with 8+ years of experience.
  • At least 2 years of experience directly managing engineering teams.
  • Experience gathering and analyzing multi-modal data, including human- and LLM-generated data.
  • Experience with LLM-Judges and human-in-the-loop techniques, including designing annotation projects and writing guidelines.
  • Proficiency in data science, machine learning, analytics, Python, Pandas, and AI-assisted coding tools.
  • Cross-functional collaboration skills to prioritize projects, maintain schedules, and communicate with all levels of stakeholders.
  • A rigorous approach to metric development, experimental interpretation, and executive presentations.
  • Experience in the Responsible AI space (preferred).
