Research Engineer, Evals - Member of Technical Staff
Callosum, London
The role
Callosum believes that orders of magnitude improvements in AI systems will come through application-aware orchestration across heterogeneous models and hardware. Our team is developing the science that makes that possible: a principled, evidence-based method for building agentic systems automatically at unprecedented scale.
The team tackles these problems on two fronts. We build the tools to analyse and evaluate agentic systems rigorously enough to say where and why they go wrong, and we use what we learn to design better ones. We are not simply building a better harness; the best harness will change with every new model, task and generation of silicon. We are building the layer beneath it, so that design decisions follow from evidence rather than taste.
This role owns the first of those fronts. Agentic evaluation today is not up to the job: benchmarks saturate, scores move for reasons unrelated to capability, results fail to reproduce across runs, and a single number tells you nothing about which step went wrong. Every design decision the rest of the team makes rests on the quality of that instrument. You will build measures whose construct we can defend, whose variance we understand, and which localise a failure rather than merely scoring it.
