Engineering Manager, AgentOps

At Scale AI, our mission is to accelerate the development of AI applications. For 8 years, Scale has been the leading AI data foundry, helping fuel the most exciting advancements in AI, including: generative AI, defense applications, and autonomous vehicles. With our recent Series F round, we’re accelerating the abundance of frontier data to pave the road to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and building upon our prior model evaluation work with enterprise customers and governments, to deepen our capabilities and offerings for both public and private evaluations.

About Data Engine

Our Generative AI Data Engine powers the world’s most advanced LLMs and generative models through world-class RLHF (Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback), human data generation, model evaluation, safety, and alignment. The data we are producing is some of the most important work for how humanity will interact with AI.

About our AgentOps team:

The vision for the AgentOps team is to build the best Agent Development Platform in the AI Industry.

Agent Development is in its nascent stages in a rapidly changing industry, with limited tooling making it hard for agent developers to manage agent lifecycles. As a team that has a front-row seat to what Enterprise customers need and want, we want to build an opinionated but flexible platform for all Agent operations ("AgentOps"), including building, deploying, monitoring, evaluating and improving agents to solve customer needs.

With the AI industry currently moving towards RL workflows that need verifiable rewards, we further want to gear this platform towards knowledge capture that create compounding effects to make Agents more effective and capable. We want to create a virtuous data flywheel where agents built using this platform see continuous performance improvements and increase customer value over time.

We are a rapidly growing team with ambitious goals, and are looking for motivated individuals to join us to make an impact in a green-field domain.
