As a Senior Software Engineer - Scientific Evaluation, you will own the architecture and roadmap for a shared platform dedicated to classical testing, scientific benchmarking, and agentic evaluation. You will design and implement infrastructure, benchmarks, and test levels for scientific agents and software while establishing trusted references, numerical tolerances, and calibrated scorers for nondeterministic workloads. This role involves managing heterogeneous GPU capacity using tools like Slurm, Kubernetes, Docker, and CMake to ensure reproducible quality signals across CUDA and C++ libraries, Python packages, and PyTorch integrations. You will solve complex problems regarding measurement practices, variance, and regression detection in distributed systems. Required skills include production-level C++, Python, Linux, and Git. The work focuses on the technical challenge of creating reliable evaluation gates for scientific models and AI agents within large GPU fleets.
