They define evaluation datasets, test scenarios, metrics, scoring approaches, and repeatable evaluation workflows that measure model and agent performance in a consistent, auditable way. They also clean, transform, validate, and analyze supporting data; generate metrics and visualizations; and produce findings that support model evaluation, reporting, and decision-making. They partner with Researchers to ground benchmark design in sound methodology, and with Developers to operationalize evaluation workflows into stable, repeatable tooling. Data Scientists should also be able to document dataset lineage, scoring rationale, benchmark assumptions, and evaluation outputs so results are reproducible, traceable, and usable in constrained or airgapped environments.\nUpcoming Tasking:\nAI Model Benchmarks - Design, implement, and maintain benchmark suites that measure model performance against defined evaluation criteria, including dataset curation, scoring, and results reporting.\nAgentic AI Benchmarks - Develop benchmarks and test scenarios that evaluate agentic workflows and multi-step task performance, including tool-use, task completion, and reliability metrics.\nEvaluation Dataset Development - Curate, validate, and version evaluation datasets and test scenarios, including any adversarial or edge-case sets needed to stress agent behavior.\nMetrics, Analysis, and Reporting - Produce scoring frameworks, visualizations, and written analyses that translate raw evaluation results into actionable findings for stakeholders.\nTechnologies/Skills Needed:\nInspectAI\nPython\nMongoDB\nJupyter notebooks\nData visualization tools\nStatistical analysis\nData cleaning and validation\nCloud or containerized environments\nGit-based version control\nCollaboration tools such as Jira or Confluence\nExperience operating in airgapped or constrained environments\nRequirements:\nYou have experience with AI Evaluation & Frameworks such as InspectAI, LLM Benchmarking, Agentic Workflow Evaluation (tool-use, multi-step task performance)\nYou have experience with Statistical Analysis, Data Cleaning & Validation, Data Visualization Tools, Jupyter NotebooksData & Environment: MongoDB, Cloud/Containerized Environments, Airgapped & Constrained Operations\nYou're familiar with Git Version Control, Experimental Design, Dataset Lineage/Traceability, Jira, and Confluence\nBS in Computer Science or similar technical field (4 years of relevant experience may be substituted in lieu of a BS degree)\nClearance Requirements\nApplicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; an active TS/SCI w/FS Poly clearance is required. Please note that the FS Poly currently needs to be held by the NSA or within the past two years.\nOther Duties Please note this job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties, or responsibilities that are required of the employee for this job.
