  • Ensure the authoring APIs are representative of real-world evaluation complexity, computationally efficient, and highly reliable.
  • Mentor junior engineers and champion software development best practices within the team.

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in software engineering, focused on backend systems or APIs.
  • Extensive experience building scalable, distributed systems and developer-facing APIs.
  • Proven track record of technical contributions, owning large features from design to deployment.
