  • Build and tune retrieval, including chunking, hybrid retrieval, grounding, and citation to source page and paragraph
  • Contribute agent evaluations using golden datasets, LLM-as-judge and deterministic scorers, and CI regression suites
  • Diagnose quality failures and correct retrieval, prompt, tooling, model, or ground-truth issues
  • Own agent-level safety behavior, including prompt-injection resistance, PII handling, refusal, and escalation paths
  • Partner with Product to translate accuracy thresholds, confidence disclosure, and human-in-the-loop triggers into shipped behavior
