Senior Backend Engineer, AI Evaluations

In addition, you’ll create debugging tools that make it easy to inspect end-to-end calls, trace failures, and surface all relevant signals in one place - empowering internal teams to diagnose issues quickly and confidently. The ideal candidate is a pragmatic, infrastructure-minded engineer who enjoys turning ad hoc analysis into durable systems, cares deeply about developer experience, holds a high bar for software-quality and takes pride in building tooling that makes complex AI systems observable, testable, and easier to operate.

Responsibilities:

* Build and maintain infrastructure and tooling for the AI evaluations platform used by internal teams, including automated testing platform for AI voice agents, debugging and observability tools.

* Develop and productionalize evaluation frameworks for individual system components such as ASR, LLMs, TTS, knowledge bases, and guardrails.

* Partner with ML, engineering and QA teams to translate evaluation requirements into robust, maintainable infrastructure and tooling.

* Improve developer experience by making evaluation systems easy to extend, well-documented, and reliable in day-to-day use.

* Ensure evaluation tooling meets production standards for reliability, performance, and maintainability.

Qualifications:

* 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong focus on building backend systems, platforms, or developer tooling.

* Proven experience designing and maintaining production-grade infrastructure with code, including APIs, services, and data pipelines.

* Strong proficiency in at least one general-purpose programming language (e.g., Python, Typescript/Javascript, Java, or similar).

* Experience using test automation frameworks, evaluation pipelines, or CI/CD-integrated testing systems.

* Familiarity with observability and debugging tools (logging, metrics, tracing) and building internal tools that improve developer and QA workflows.

* Strong debugging skills and a methodical approach to diagnosing production and evaluation issues.

* Ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, QA, and operations teams, translating requirements into reliable, maintainable systems.

* Product-minded approach to infrastructure, with attention to usability, documentation, and long-term maintainability.

Preferred:

* Experience working with complex, multi-component systems (e.g., ASR, LLMs, TTS, or other ML-powered services)

* Experience working in healthcare or other regulated environments, including awareness of HIPAA and PHI handling.

* Familiarity with conversational AI or voice agents, including multi-turn dialogue, latency constraints, and error recovery.

* Familiarity with LLM observability or evaluation tools (e.g., Langfuse, prompt eval frameworks).

* Background in digital health, care coordination, or patient-facing systems.
