• Agent Evaluation & Knowledge Pipelines:Develop Agent Evaluation Pipelines to measurably assess reliability and task completion rates. You will also build knowledge discovery pipelines that surface institutional knowledge (policy research, compliance frameworks) into agent-consumable layers for sharper decision-making.
• Security & Vulnerability Management:Analyze Kubernetes deployment configurations to identify and fix security gaps. You will help manage the CVE lifecycle by identifying and patching vulnerabilities in container images to harden the platform.
• Tooling & Reliability:Develop internal tooling, testing harnesses, and security utilities to improve team productivity. You will also execute and validate API and cross-service integration tests to ensure system reliability as the platform evolves.
