Responsibilities
~1 min readThe RAG & Evaluation Engineer owns the knowledge surface and the eval harness. Ingestion pipelines for source code, structured metadata, technical documentation, patches, and additional corpora the customer provides. Retrieval quality across chunking, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, reranking, freshness. Benchmarks for translation accuracy, dependency-map correctness, and overall agent quality. The feedback loop from production usage back into evals and retrieval lives here.
- →Own the knowledge surface — ingestion pipelines for source code, structured metadata, technical documentation, patches, and additional corpora the customer provides.
- →Own retrieval quality — chunking, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, reranking, and freshness.
- →Own the eval harness — benchmarks for translation accuracy, dependency-map correctness, and overall agent quality.
- →Run A/B testing and regression detection across prompts, retrieval, and model changes.
- →Operate the feedback loop from production usage back into evals and retrieval.
- →Define what “good” means for the platform when no one else has a clear view, so the team can tell whether the agent is actually improving.
- →Pair with the Agent Engineers on the prompt-and-eval iteration cycle.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Science, or a related field, plus 4 years of professional software engineering experience; equivalent experience may substitute for the degree requirement.

- Ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
- Production experience with retrieval pipelines — ingestion, chunking, embedding, hybrid retrieval, reranking.
- Strong applied evaluation skills — benchmark design, regression detection, LLM-as-judge patterns.
- Knows when BM25 beats embeddings and when neither is enough.

- Patient with detail; comfortable defining metrics before the team has agreed on them.
- Heavy native use of AI tooling: agents in parallel, model as collaborator.
- Strong TypeScript or Python.
- Demonstrated experience in a remote work environment.
