• Develop benchmarks and evaluations for core tasks using human and synthetic data.

What We're Looking For

• Proficiency with Python and SQL, plus experience taking projects from development through deployment on your preferred infrastructure.

• Basic to intermediate infrastructure or DevOps experience.
