Human Data Engineer
xAI, Palo Alto, CA
The role
You will ensure engineering teams get the right data they need—high-quality tasks and evaluations—by crafting and executing high-value Human Data projects. You sit at the intersection of engineering and data operations: partnering with model teams, designing projects that capture meaningful signals, and driving data yield and eval lift. This is a hands-on technical role for engineers who deeply understand training and evaluation and want to influence data strategy.
What you will do
- Partner with model and engineering teams to understand needs and translate them into high-value data projects and evaluation strategies
- Own end-to-end delivery of critical data and eval projects that capture meaningful training signals and support rapid model development
- Build tools and systems to measure data effectiveness (data yield, eval lift, usage), and run evaluations yourself to continuously improve quality
- Maintain rigorous data integrity and truthfulness, including validation processes for factual accuracy; prioritize quality over quantity
