These programs may involve supervised coding demonstrations, repository-level tasks, agentic trajectories, reinforcement-learning environments, benchmarks, code review, and rubric-based evaluations. They can require coordinating hundreds of distributed software engineers while responding quickly to changing research requirements. This is an operations leadership role with a meaningful technical bar. You must be able to inspect code, understand tests, interrogate quality signals, and challenge a workflow or rubric when it is not producing the intended result. You will not be expected to act as the principal engineer for every program. Your primary responsibility is to build and operate the system that consistently produces high-quality technical work at scale. <h1>What You’ll Own</h1> 1) Operational execution — own end-to-end delivery on every project you run <ul> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Design and manage data pipelines from customer specification to final delivery, with full accountability for scope, timeline, and quality.</li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> Scope and stand up coding workstreams across supervised demonstrations, agentic trajectories, RL environments, benchmark construction, and rubric-graded evaluation.</li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Diagnose bottlenecks in real time — re-sequence workflows, refine instructions, create incentive systems, and scale review processes to hit throughput targets.</li> </ul> 2) Quality ownership — ensure w
