About the role

Responsibilities

  • Run and maintain the benchmark pipeline, analyzing results to identify routing errors and regressions across agent variants
  • Build and expand ground truth datasets used to evaluate agent outputs against known-correct answers
  • Identify and address gaps in benchmark validation and support building a more comprehensive evaluation infrastructure to improve validation prior to release
  • Develop new evaluation dimensions such as label accuracy and structured output correctness beyond the existing team classification benchmarks
  • Investigate failure modes in agent outputs and work with engineers to surface actionable improvements
  • Write scripts and tooling to automate data collection, result parsing, and metric reporting
  • Document findings, track benchmark trends over time, and present results to the team

Requirements

  • Currently enrolled in a B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering or a related field
  • Available to commit to a minimum three-month assignment
  • Able to commit to a minimum of 20 hours per week
  • Able to work on-site at one of our office locations
  • Familiar with Cursor or Claude
  • Familiar with Python
  • Familiar with evaluation concepts: precision, recall, F1 score, and confusion matrices
  • Comfortable working with structured data (CSV, JSON)
  • Experience modifying or writing reproducible analysis scripts

Nice-to-Haves

  • Prior exposure to LLM-based systems, prompt engineering, or AI agent evaluation
  • Experience with Jira or Slack (e.g. ticketing systems, messaging apps)
