TL;DR · Evaluation and ML Systems Engineer, AI Safety and Security Engineering

The Evaluation and ML Systems Engineer joins the AI Safety and Security Engineering team to own how the program measures its progress. You will build benchmarking and reproducibility systems, design metrics and protocols, and ensure every result is traceable to specific code and runs. Your primary responsibility is to separate real capability from anecdote by creating infrastructure that automates measurement and maintains evidence discipline. You will partner with security researchers and platform engineers to design trustworthy experiments and data pipelines. The role requires 5+ years of experience in ML engineering or evaluation, specifically designing benchmarks and statistically sound comparisons. Required skills include solid Python engineering for shared infrastructure. This work focuses on building and evaluating AI-powered tooling to find, validate, and patch software vulnerabilities.

What you'll do

  • Build benchmarking and reproducibility systems to measure program progress and performance.
  • Design metrics, baselines, and protocols to ensure fair comparisons of ML models.
  • Develop infrastructure that maps every result directly to the specific code and runs that produced it.
  • Automate repetitive measurement tasks to streamline data collection for the engineering team.
  • Partner with security researchers and platform engineers to design trustworthy, reproducible experiments.
  • Establish evidence-based systems to validate claims and ensure findings are reviewable before use.
  • Develop Python-based infrastructure for experiment tracking and automated data pipelines.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in a relevant field.
  • 5+ years of experience in ML engineering or evaluation.
  • Experience designing benchmarks, metrics, and statistically sound comparisons for ML systems.
  • Demonstrated measurement rigor with a skeptical approach to metrics, baselines, and claims.
  • Proficiency in Python engineering for shared infrastructure, experiment tracking, and data pipelines.
  • Preferred experience evaluating security tooling or pipelines.
  • Preferred experience measuring agentic systems or LLM behavior.
  • Preferred history of contributing to public benchmarks or evaluation frameworks.
