You'll work directly with Ryan Bowman (CPO) to help us understand and improvehow our AI assists writers. Here are some examples of areas you will be working in: Design and implement evaluation frameworks for complex, subjective AI outputs (like writing feedbackthat's meant to inspire rather than just correct) Build flexible evaluation pipelines that can assess quality across multiple dimensions - from humanpreference to actual writing improvement Research and prototype new evaluation methodologies for creative and subjective AI tasks Collaborate with our engineering team to integrate evaluation insights into our development process Help define what quality means for different AI outputs and create metrics that actually matter forour users Work on challenging problems like: How do we automatically evaluate whether an AI comment successfullyencourages thoughtful revision? What we can offer A calm, human-friendly work environment among kind and experienced professionals Fun, creative, novel, and interesting technical work at the intersection of AI research and productdevelopment An opportunity to work with and learn about the latest advancements in AI evaluation and language models Direct collaboration with leadership to shape how we understand and improve our AI systems As much responsibility and growth opportunities as you want to take on Are you a good fit for this role? In order to be successful in this role, you will recognise yourself in the following: You have experience with AI/ML evaluation methodologies and can speak the language of AI research You've worked hands-on with language models and understand the challenges of evaluating subjective,creative outputs You are a self-starter willing to work independently and at speed - we imagine a 2-week experimentcadence at most. You are familiar with and have worked on related technical systems (evaluation pipelines, datacollection tools) but don't need to be a full-stack engineer. You won't be expected to build these alone!
