Machine Learning Engineer, LLM Evals & Observability

Building a great AI assistant is only half the battle knowing whether its actually great is the other half. Our team owns the measurement and quality layer that make Gleans Assistant and Agents reliably better over time: evaluation pipelines quality evalsets LLM-powered judges agent observability and the tooling engineers use to understand what changed and why. Its a rare combination of infrastructure engineering applied ML and direct product impact.
