Description

The quality of data underpins Generative AI programs. As a Quality Control Lead at Scale, you'll own the quality control call for some of the company's highest-impact Generative AI programs. You'll lead a large team of quality control specialists to measure and improve quality across these programs, from multilingual post-training data to agentic RL environments.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead and grow a team of quality specialists - hire, coach, and calibrate this team of specialists.
  • Turn unclear customer requirements into clear standards - work with delivery teams to interpret and improve customer requirements, and then turn that into measurable signals of data quality.
  • Run the quality system. Own the daily operation: plan and allocate workforce capacity, produce quality reporting, measure productivity and efficiency, and drive quality control policies.
  • Analyze quality trends. Identify, root-cause, and elevate defect patterns that delivery teams can take action on.
  • Build the future of QC. Help decide and lead what gets built next to continue to scale and optimize quality operations.

Requirements:

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Operations, or a related field.
  • 3+ years leading teams or scaling large operational/technical processes.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills (particularly in SQL) with attention to detail.
  • Experience building systems, processes, and teams across multiple customer segments or product lines.
  • A hands-on background in product management, operations management, program management, or top-tier management consulting.
  • Proven experience taking initiative in cross-functional technical environments.

Nice to haves:

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Operations, or a related field.
  • Experience in AI/ML services, data annotation, or model evaluation.
  • Experience in a fast-growing, less-structured startup environment.
  • Experience building teams from the ground up.
