About Handshake AI
Human data is the core infrastructure to AI advancement. Frontier AI labs currently improve model capabilities with various data-intensive post-training techniques. We believe that data spend for AI training will increase by 3-5x in the next few years and continue for much longer as models take on new domains. Handshake AI supports all of the frontier AI labs, working on their most complex data at the largest scale.
About the RoleWe're hiring an Engineering Manager to own our Quality team. This team builds the extensible platform infrastructure that operators and fellows rely on every day.
Lead quality engineering systems that directly improve AI output reliability, evaluation accuracy, and benchmark performance for frontier lab partners
Build and scale an organization across two distinct technical domains, developing senior ICs and driving cross-team technical strategy
Partner with internal stakeholders to prioritize platform investments that unlock other teams to move faster and build on top of shared infrastructure
Location: San Francisco, CA. This is an in-office role, 5 days/week (no remote/hybrid)
You HaveMust-Haves:
7+ years of engineering experience, including 3+ years managing engineering teams of 8 or more and experience manager managers.
Background at companies where AI is the core product; you've shipped in environments where model quality, data pipelines, and evaluation rigor are table stakes
Strong product engineering instincts; you can lead teams building complex user-facing systems, not just backend infrastructure
Experience leading teams with meaningfully different technical focuses simultaneously
Track record of developing engineers; you've grown senior ICs, EMs, and leads, not just delivered projects
Strong prioritization and stakeholder management
Clear, direct communicator who can translate between technical complexity and business context
What we’re looking for
Engineering leader + builder: 3+ years managing teams, plus 5+ years hands-on engineering experience
Strong people leadership: experience leading senior engineers; managing an EM (or equivalent scope) is a plus
Execution in ambiguity: proven ability to align cross-functionally and deliver in fast-moving, unclear problem spaces
Systems + product mindset: strong platform/distributed systems background, and the ability to turn needs into a clear roadmap, ship iteratively, and measure outcomes
Bonus Points:
Familiarity with LLM evaluation, quality pipelines, or applied AI tooling
Experience with annotation or data labeling platforms, tasking systems, or workflow orchestration
