Machine Learning Engineer - Model Evaluations, Public Sector

The Public Sector ML team at Scale deploys advanced AI systems—including LLMs, agentic models, and multimodal pipelines—into mission‑critical government environments. We build evaluation frameworks that ensure these models operate reliably, safely, and effectively under real‑world constraints. As an ML Engineer, you will design, implement, and scale automated evaluation pipelines that help customers trust and operationalize advanced AI systems across defense, intelligence, and federal missions.

• Develop and maintain automated evaluation pipelines for ML models across functional, performance, robustness, and safety metrics, including LLM‑judge‑based evaluations.
• Design test datasets and benchmarks to measure generalization, bias, explainability, and failure modes.
• Build evaluation frameworks for LLM agents, including infrastructure for scenario‑based and environment‑based testing.
• Conduct comparative analyses of model architectures, training procedures, and evaluation outcomes.
• Implement tools for continuous monitoring, regression testing, and quality assurance for ML systems.
• Design and execute stress tests and red‑teaming workflows to uncover vulnerabilities and edge cases.
• Collaborate with operations teams and subject‑matter experts to produce high‑quality evaluation datasets.

• This role will require an active security clearance or the ability to obtain a security clearance.

• Experience in computer vision, deep learning, reinforcement learning, or NLP in production settings.
• Strong programming skills in Python; experience with Tensor Flow or PyTorch.
• Background in algorithms, data structures, and object‑oriented programming.
• Experience with LLM pipelines, simulation environments, or automated evaluation systems.
• Ability to convert research insights into measurable evaluation criteria.

• Graduate degree in CS, ML, or AI.
• Cloud experience (AWS, GCP) and model deployment experience.
• Experience with LLM evaluation, CV robustness, or RL validation.
• Knowledge of interpretability, adversarial robustness, or AI safety frameworks.
• Familiarity with ML evaluation frameworks and agentic model design.
• Experience in regulated, classified, or mission‑critical ML domains.
