In this role, you will

• Lead the end-to-end logistics of data labeling, ensuring that we’re hitting dataset volume targets for training/evaluation runs
• Own our data collection efforts, managing a team of (in-house) data labelers
• Own our synthetic data collection efforts, working with a variety of tools to generate large-scale synthetic training data
• Work closely with ML and data engineers to detail data requirements, supporting large-scale data sourcing, enabling data labeling, and quality control
• Develop and enforce stringent data quality standards, implementing QA processes to ensure data meets ML-readiness benchmarks.

What we're looking for

• Strong analytical background: BSc or MSc in data science/machine learning or related topics - candidates without a degree are welcome as long as they have proven hands-on experience.
• Programming experience with Python.
• Experience creating datasets for machine learning, including establishing quality metrics (e.g., agreement).
• Experience with working with teams of data labelers to label datasets.
• Experience with processes to generate synthetic data where real-world data is unavailable.
• Experience with data labeling tools such as Human Signal / Label Studio.
