ML Engineer - Automated Evaluation and Adversarial Design joins the Productivity and Machine Learning Evaluation team to ensure quality across various AI-powered features. This role focuses on building and scaling automated evaluation systems, designing adversarial test suites, and developing stress-testing methodologies for multi-turn conversation flows and agentic experience chains. The candidate will translate qualitative quality notions into measurable assessments, identify failure modes like context degradation or goal drift, and create robust evaluation rubrics and report findings to cross-functional partners. Required skills include Python and ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow. Preferred expertise includes familiarity with agent orchestration frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, or AutoGen, along with observability tools like LangSmith, Braintrust, or Arize. The role addresses the technical challenge of ensuring model reliability across complex, multi-step task sequences and tool-use interactions.
Define and own automated evaluation approaches that translate qualitative quality into measurable metrics for single-turn and multi-turn AI experiences.
Build adversarial test suites targeting model failure modes such as context loss, instruction forgetting, and cascading errors.
Develop and execute stress test protocols to validate performance under atypical conditions like extended conversation lengths and complex tool-use sequences.
Ensure alignment between automated and human evaluation methods by identifying and resolving systematic disagreements.
Scale the generation of adversarial test cases and stress tests using programmatic automation for multi-turn scenarios.
Communicate evaluation findings and model readiness assessments to cross-functional partners to influence product decisions.
What we're looking for
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related field.
4+ years of experience building or extending ML evaluation systems and designing quality assessment frameworks.
Experience independently defining evaluation architecture for AI systems where the unit of analysis is a conversation or session.
Experience designing adversarial or red-teaming test methodologies for ML models, specifically targeting multi-turn interactions.
Experience with Python and ML frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow in production or near-production settings.
Track record of owning technical direction for evaluation efforts across multiple features or product areas.
Experience evaluating user-facing AI features in consumer applications (preferred).
Familiarity with productivity software, creative tools, or agent orchestration frameworks such as LangChain and LangGraph (preferred).
