Responsibilities
  • Build online and offline evaluation systems for LLM agents, including pipelines using golden datasets, ground-truth data, human review workflows, and experiment results
  • Create automated quality gates so changes to prompts, context, models, or agent logic can be tested before production
  • Analyze large volumes of agent traces in columnar and analytical databases such as BigQuery or ClickHouse to identify failure modes, quality regressions, latency issues, reliability gaps, and cost optimization opportunities
