About the role
- This Staff Engineer role sits at the intersection of engineering, applied AI, testing and developer experience.
Responsibilities
- Define AI Quality Standards: Own the framework for how ID.me evaluates, validates, and monitors AI agents - from prompt-based features to fully autonomous multi-step workflows.
- Build Eval Infrastructure: Design and maintain evaluation pipelines for LLM outputs, agent behavior, tool use, and multi-turn interactions across development, staging, and production environments.
- Agentic Test Strategy: Lead the design of test suites that handle non-determinism - red-teaming agents, golden dataset construction, LLM-as-judge pipelines, and property-based testing for AI outputs.
- Champion Developer Experience: Build the internal tooling, feedback loops, and testing workflows that make it fast and safe for engineers to develop and ship AI features with confidence.
- Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner with Security, Platform, Product, and AI/ML teams to embed quality gates into agent development workflows.
- Mentorship: Guide senior and mid-level engineers through evaluation design, observability strategy, and testing approaches specific to AI systems.
- Design and maintain evaluation pipelines for LLM outputs, agent behavior, tool use, and multi-turn interactions across development, staging, and production environments.
