About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and own the data product roadmap, including the end-to-end pipeline to significantly scale training data in generative models.
Build systems and processes to increase value from data: prioritize what we acquire, how we process it, and ensure it maps directly to downstream model performance needs.
Translate between modeling requirements and data reality – transform customer asks into concrete, actionable data programs.
Partner closely with data engineering and applied science to build feedback loops that close the gap between model evaluation and data approach.
Build institutional knowledge around data decisions - what was included, why, how it was processed - so the team can reason about model behavior and iterate faster.
Make data health visible to the right collaborators at the right time.
Partner with legal and collaborators to ensure data programs meet needs around commercial safety.
Find opportunities to build proprietary data advantages such as reward models.
