Primary responsibilities:

Own Evaluation and Quality workflows

• Own the roadmap for shared agent evaluation and observability capabilities, from user discovery and requirements through launch, adoption and improvement.
• Partner with domain owners to define representative journeys, prompt sets, expected tool behavior and outputs, scoring rubrics and acceptance criteria.
• Define requirements for automated evaluation, human review, and tools that help teams diagnose failures.

Connect Evaluations with Operational Evidence

• Define product requirements for traces, events, diagnostic views and review tools that connect customer intent, tool or API calls and observed outcomes where data access permits.
• Work with engineering, analytics and existing enterprise evaluation and observability teams to extend shared capabilities, reuse instrumentation and standardize evidence.
• Identify where limited access to partner data prevents a complete assessment.
• Partner with Identity and domain owners to test policy-relevant behavior, including denied actions, revoked access and required approvals.

Measure and Improve Agent Experiences

• Define meaningful measures such as task completion, correct tool use, response quality, failure and recovery rates, latency and cost.
• Define how testing and monitoring work together across controlled test environments, end-to-end partner integrations and production. Clarify what each can measure and use the findings to prioritize improvements with the responsible teams.
• Measure adoption and usefulness of evaluation workflows, including review effort, coverage and time to identify problems. Communicate the limits of findings based on sampled data.

Lead a Reusable Product Capability

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with LLM or agent evaluation, scenario design, human review, model-assisted scoring or production failure analysis.
• Familiarity with MCP, function calling, telemetry standards or evaluation frameworks; ability to use code or queries to investigate evidence.
• Experience building shared capabilities adopted by multiple teams or delivering products in financial services or another regulated industry.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
