Software Engineer, Benchmarking (SF, NYC, or Remote)

About Us

Office Hours is an on-demand expert network that connects leading organizations with trusted experts across various knowledge domains. Experts earn income by sharing their knowledge through advisory work, projects, and AI model training. Our platform handles the complexities behind the scenes— screening, compliance, scheduling, and payments—so knowledge sharing stays focused on meaningful insights and real impact.

We're a hyper-growth and profitable company, quickly expanding our expert network, launching new offices, and new products. We are headquartered in San Francisco, with offices in Brooklyn and Bangalore. Our customers include the fastest-growing digital health companies, technology companies, institutional investment firms, consulting firms and AI Labs.

What we believe

Human knowledge is the world's most valuable asset. And yet, despite being more interconnected than ever, most knowledge still remains stuck in our heads, inaccessible and underutilized. Our vision is to make human knowledge easily accessible and infinitely scalable by building tools for the new age knowledge economy.

About the role

We're looking for a Software Engineer to build and run the platform behind our AI model evaluations. You'll work closely with our research team to prepare benchmark datasets, build the pipelines and environments our evaluations run in, and turn results into published output.

Our researchers design the methodology. You'll turn it into systems that run consistently and reproducibly, so results stay comparable across models, agent scaffolds, and time. Evaluations draw on the knowledge domains our expert network covers.

What you'll do

• Prepare and maintain benchmark datasets: Own the data work behind our benchmarks, including cleaning, preparation, conversion into runnable formats, and ongoing maintenance. Validate that tasks are complete, consistent, and executable, and flag ambiguities that would compromise results.

• Build and maintain evaluation pipelines: Build the infrastructure that runs evaluations consistently across model APIs and terminal agents, so results are reproducible and comparable.

• Build evaluation environments: Create lightweight, containerized environments and viewers for tasking and for evaluating model performance on tool use.

• Support model experiments: Help fine-tune small open-source LLMs and compare baseline against post-training performance.
