About the Role

Join an engineering team at an early-stage AI company building infrastructure for training and evaluating AI agents. You will develop synthetic data methods and systems that turn real-world workflows into useful training tasks, helping expand agent capabilities across professional and technical domains.

What You'll Do

  • Build pipelines that transform domain-specific workflows into realistic, structured, and challenging synthetic training tasks.

  • Collaborate with subject-matter experts to create tasks across professional and technical domains.

  • Design generation methods and tools to mutate, validate, and improve synthetic tasks.

  • Analyze model and agent performance to understand task strengths, gaps, and failure modes.

  • Develop metrics for assessing task diversity, realism, learnability, and overall quality.

What We're Looking For

  • Two to four years of relevant experience, with at least two years in software engineering, machine learning engineering, or AI research roles.

  • Hands-on experience building end-to-end synthetic data generation pipelines for AI or machine learning applications.

  • Proficiency in Python and experience working in Linux environments with Docker or similar containerization tools.

  • Practical knowledge of synthetic data quality, evaluation metrics, and the limitations of generated data.

  • Experience building automated systems for generating, validating, mutating, or processing structured datasets at scale.

  • Background in AI agent or language model evaluation, benchmarks, testing environments, or post-training workflows.

  • Ability to independently deliver technical projects, reason carefully about edge cases, and work effectively in an unstructured environment.
