What you'll do

  • Map scaled-analysis and pipeline-integration scenarios to an established taxonomy across key evaluation areas.
  • Author detailed analytic cases that reflect authentic deployment patterns, including automated triage, enrichment, and analysis-at-scale, as well as representative failure modes in real-world settings.
  • Evaluate and grade responses based on criteria such as source handling, reasoning, understanding of limitations, and practical utility.
  • Identify and flag instances of model over-refusal that could hinder legitimate analytic workflows or disrupt pipeline continuity.
  • Document challenging edge cases, emerging methodology concerns, and provide actionable recommendations for continuous improvement.
  • Contribute clear, insightful written and verbal feedback that supports iterative, high-quality project outcomes.

What we're looking for

Nice to have

  • Demonstrated experience integrating LLMs—such as government GPT variants—into complex data or analytic pipelines.
  • Proven capability in conducting analysis at scale, with an understanding of automation failure modes and relevant evaluation metrics.
  • Track record of teaching, mentoring, or technical leadership in data science or related analytic disciplines.
  • Expertise in authoring clear, concise technical documentation and conveying complex concepts through strong written English.
  • Exposure to the design of evaluation frameworks or benchmark systems.
  • Familiarity with defense, intelligence, or government analytic domains is highly valued.
  • Ability to operate effectively in distributed, international project environments with minimal clearance constraints.
