All employees are expected to be hands-on and to contribute directly to the company’s mission. Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver excellence. Work ethic and strong prioritization skills are important. All employees are expected to have strong communication skills. They should be able to concisely and accurately share knowledge with their teammates.

About the Role

~1 min read

You will ensure engineering teams get the right data they need—high-quality tasks and evaluations—by crafting and executing high-value Human Data projects. You sit at the intersection of model teams and data operations: partnering with engineering, designing projects that capture meaningful signals, and driving measurement of data impact. This is a hands-on role for people who understand training and evaluation deeply and want to influence data strategy.
