About the role and team

You’ll join our AI Engineering team with a focus on evaluation, experimentation, and observability — building the systems that tell us whether our AI features actually work, and keep working, in production.

This is a hands-on, technical role representing Create Future day to day, working across eval platforms, golden datasets, and production monitoring for AI-native systems.

What you’ll be doing

• Design and build eval and observability pipelines using platforms such as Braintrust, Lang Smith, Arize, or Weights & Biases.
• Curate golden datasets and design LLM-as-judge and human-in-the-loop scoring pipelines.
• Build production observability for AI features: token-level tracing, quality signal monitoring, hallucination and refusal detection, and cost attribution per use case.
• Wire eval gates into CI/CD promotion paths so quality checks are enforced before release, not just measured after.
• Turn eval and observability data into decisions that engineering and product teams will actually act on.
• Work with engineering and product to interpret scores and know when a result is telling us something real versus noise.

We’d love to talk to you if you

• Have strong Python skills and hands-on AI engineering experience, particularly around evals and observability.
• Have used Braintrust, Lang Smith, Arize, Weights & Biases, or a similar platform in production.
• Are comfortable designing scoring pipelines and know how to sanity-check whether a score means anything.
• Have enough CI/CD fluency to wire eval gates into a promotion pipeline.
• Can communicate what the data means clearly enough that engineering and product teams act on it.
