Data Scientist

We're looking for a Data Scientist to help establish the quantitative foundation of a cutting-edge trust and validation framework for autonomous systems. In this role, you'll design rigorous statistical methodologies to evaluate system performance, develop confidence and reliability metrics, and support high-scale deployment with robust measurement systems. Your work will be critical in validating performance in high-stakes domains and enabling data-driven decisions as the platform scales from early users to millions of interactions per month.

Responsibilities

  • Design statistical frameworks to validate autonomous system performance with academic rigor

  • Develop mathematical models to quantify trust, reliability, and performance in complex domains

  • Build autoscaling algorithms for compute resource optimization at scale

  • Create projection models for quota growth and capacity planning across multi-region deployments

  • Establish methodologies to measure system composition, including dynamic and contextual behavior

  • Design systems for context traceability and statistical validation of reasoning pathways

  • Develop confidence calculation methods across simulation runs and deployment conditions

  • Create judge coverage frameworks for comprehensive performance evaluation

  • Define metrics tied to interpretability, safety, and business outcomes

  • Design attribution systems that identify key components contributing to system performance

  • Model capability expansion to measure growth while maintaining reliability

  • Collaborate with verification and simulation teams to define evaluation standards

  • Contribute to academic publications and technical content showcasing scientific rigor

  • Work with engineering teams to implement statistical measurement systems in production

Qualifications

  • Advanced degree in statistics, data science, applied mathematics, or related field

  • Strong foundation in statistical methods, experimental design, and measurement frameworks

  • Experience applying quantitative approaches to complex system evaluation

  • Background in building performance metrics for AI or software systems

  • Proficient in confidence intervals, variance analysis, and statistical validation

  • Experience designing experiments to quantify behavior across variable conditions

  • Skilled in Python, statistical tools, and data analysis libraries

  • Ability to connect metrics to business impact and technical performance

  • Experience with data visualization for communicating complex concepts

  • Academic or industry publication experience is a plus

  • Passion for scientific rigor and trustworthy evaluation in AI systems
