AI EVAL Engineer

Akkodis is seeking an AI EVAL Engineer for a Contract with a client in Bellevue, WA (Remote). Candidates must have strong Python programming skills and hands-on experience with AI evaluation frameworks and metrics in a Linux environment.

Rate Range: $50/hour to $53/hour;
The rate may be negotiable based on experience, education, geographic location, and other factors.

• Design, implement, and automate evaluation test suites to measure LLM accuracy, relevance, safety, latency, and cost across zero-shot, few-shot, and system-prompt scenarios.
• Define and apply robust evaluation metrics (e.g., precision/recall, BLEU/ROUGE, F1, hallucination rate, throughput, cost-per-output) and establish reproducible baselines for model comparison.
• Build datasets, ground-truth references, and benchmarks, and maintain versioned test cases for consistent, repeatable scoring.
• Develop batch evaluation pipelines in Python (and other languages as needed) with API integrations, integrating frameworks like OpenAI Evals, Hugging Face evals, Promptfoo, Ragas, Deep Eval, or LM Eval Harness.
• Conduct performance benchmarking and analysis across Azure OpenAI (and other providers), reporting insights on speed, scalability, and resource efficiency.
• Assess and mitigate AI safety, bias, and hallucination risks, while collaborating with product, research, and platform teams to improve prompts, guardrails, and overall model quality.

• Bachelor’s or master’s in computer science, Data Science, AI/ML, or related field.
• 3–5+ years in AI/ML evaluation, benchmarking, or applied ML (including LLMs and generative AI).
• Strong Python skills with hands-on experience in evaluation frameworks (e.g., OpenAI Evals, Hugging Face evals, Promptfoo, Ragas, Deep Eval, LM Eval Harness) and defining/applying metrics (precision/recall, BLEU/ROUGE, F1, hallucination rate, latency, cost).
• Practical experience with Azure OpenAI (and/or OpenAI/Anthropic/Google AI), test automation pipelines, and benchmarking across zero-/few-shot prompts; familiarity with RAG evaluation and AI safety/bias testing is a plus.
