Senior Content Engineer (4 HC)OverviewWe are seeking a
Senior Content Engineer to join a fast-moving team building, evaluating, and optimizing AI-driven content systems. In this role, you will operate at the intersection of
content quality, system design, and model evaluation, partnering closely with program managers, engineers, and researchers to drive scalable, high-quality outcomes.
This role goes beyond task execution-you will help define
specifications, evaluation frameworks, and quality controls that ensure consistency, reliability, and continuous improvement across content pipelines.
Key Responsibilities1. Guideline Development & Maintenance- Partner with the Program Manager to design, iterate, and maintain end-to-end content evaluation guidelines.
- Create structured artifacts such as specs, decision frameworks, mappings, and changelogs to document guideline evolution.
- Ensure guidelines are actionable, internally consistent, and aligned with human evaluation standards.
- Identify and resolve cases where guidelines are ambiguous, inconsistent, or fundamentally unlabelable.
2. Prompt Engineering- Design, test, and refine system prompts to guide AI models toward consistent, high-quality, human-aligned outputs.
- Apply structured experimentation to evaluate prompt effectiveness and document tradeoffs.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to version, validate, and improve prompts over time.
3. Evaluation & Performance Analysis- Analyze model evaluation results using appropriate metrics, focusing on distributions, prevalence, slices, and uncertainty, not just averages.
- Identify patterns, failure modes, and quality risks across datasets and model outputs.
- Translate analysis into clear, actionable recommendations for model behavior and process improvements.
4. Supervised Fine-Tuning & Annotation- Support supervised fine-tuning efforts by preparing, annotating, and quality-controlling large-scale text datasets.
- Define and maintain gold set lifecycles, annotation specs, and QC plans.
- Provide editorial oversight to ensure labeling consistency, accuracy, and alignment with evaluation goals.
5. Failure State Identification- Define, document, and maintain known and emerging failure states for content evaluation and generation systems.
- Proactively surface risks related to consistency, nuance, safety, and edge cases.
- Collaborate with partners to address root causes and implement mitigation strategies.
6. Process & Systems Improvement- Identify opportunities to improve content pipelines, workflows, and quality controls.
- Think in systems: inputs, contracts, versioning, monitoring, and outputs.
- Balance tradeoffs such as speed vs. quality and consistency vs. nuance when proposing improvements.
