Member of Technical Staff - Data Quality Engineer (Post-training)

About the Role Data is playing an increasingly crucial role at the frontier of AI innovation. Many of the most meaningful advances in recent years have come not from new architectures, but from better data. As a member of the Data Team, your mission is to ensure that the data used to train and evaluate our models meets a high bar for quality, reliability, and downstream impact. You will directly shape how our models perform on critical capabilities — agentic tool use, long-horizon reasoning and robust safety alignment. Working with world-class researchers on our post-training teams, you'll help turn fuzzy notions of "good data" into concrete, measurable standards that scale across large data campaigns. We're looking for engineers who combine strong engineering fundamentals with a deep curiosity about data quality and its impact on model behavior Working closely with our post-training teams you will: Own upstream data quality for LLM post-training and evaluation by analyzing expert-developed datasets and operationalizing quality standards for reasoning, alignment, and agentic use cases Partner closely with research and post-training teams to translate requirements into measurable quality signals, and provide actionable feedback to external data vendors Design, validate, and scale automated QA methods, including LLM-as-a-Judge frameworks, to reliably measure data quality across large campaigns Build reusable QA pipelines that reliably deliver high-quality data to post-training teams for model training and evaluation Monitor and report on data quality over time, driving continuous iteration on quality standards, processes, and acceptance criteria About You Strong engineering fundamentals with experience building data pipelines, QA systems, or evaluation workflows for post-training data and agentic environments Detail-oriented with an analytical mindset, able to identify failure modes, inconsistencies, and subtle issues that affect data quality Solid understanding of how data quality impacts training (SFT and RL) and evaluation, with the ability to translate quality concerns into concrete signals, decisions, and feedback Experience designing and validating automated quality checks, including rule-based systems, statistical methods, or model-assisted approaches such as LLM-as-a-Judge Comfortable working autonomously, owning problems end-to-end, and collaborating effectively with researchers, engineers, and operations partners Skills and Qualifications Proficiency in Python and building ML / LLM workflows. Must be comfortable debugging and writing scalable code Experience working with large datasets and automated evaluation or quality-checking systems Familiarity with how LLMs work and can describe how models are trained and evaluated Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate complex technical concepts across teams What We Offer: We believe that to make intelligence open and accessible to all, you need to start at the foundation. Joining Reflection means building from the ground up as part of a talent-dense team. You will help define our future as a company, and help define the future of open foundational models. We want you to do the most impactful work of your career with the confidence that you and the people you care about most are supported. Top-tier compensation: Salary and equity structured to recognize and retain our talent globally.
