Responsibilities

• Set the Science data strategy by mapping workflows into a use-case taxonomy, and partnering with research to prioritize capabilities, data coverage, and sourcing pipelines.
• Create high-quality Science data by designing tasks and rubrics, and QA-ing datasets from vendors, customers, and synthetic pipelines for correctness, realism, and coverage.
• Steer data priorities using model failures by reproducing reported losses and stress-testing checkpoints on real workflows to identify missing scientific knowledge and false assumptions.
• Build Science evaluations by assessing industry benchmarks to measure data strategy success, and advise cross-team evaluation efforts on scientific coverage and realism.
• Scale expertise by recruiting and guiding SMEs, acting as the domain authority to enforce vendor quality, and converting expert contributions into usable training data.
