You\'ll own the end-to-end lifecycle of our critical datasets, from curating nuanced human feedback on design quality to pioneering machine learning for high-quality synthetic data generation. This position requires a data-first thinker with a strong design sensibility, passionate about building the high-quality ground truth at scale that will define the future of creativity by ensuring our models align with human taste and intent. At The Moment, This Role Is Focused On Statistical Analysis & Insights: Applying robust statistical methodologies to analyze data, identify significant trends, and derive actionable insights, including hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and determining statistical significance to validate model performance and user preferences. Human Feedback Data Curation: Owning the design, processing, cleaning, and strategic curation of large-scale, subjective human feedback on design quality, which is the lifeblood of our models. Synthetic Data Generation: Using generative AI and machine learning techniques to create novel, high-quality synthetic data that augments our training sets and improves model capabilities. Alignment Analysis & Evaluation Design: Designing methods to analyze outputs from both human and automated systems to deeply understand and measure our models\' alignment with user preferences. Primary Responsibilities Design and build scalable pipelines for processing and curating large datasets of human design feedback. Research and develop ML models to generate high-quality synthetic data for training and fine-tuning. Own the design and implementation of human evaluation workflows, including creating guidelines and quality rubrics. Prepare datasets for automated evaluation systems and conduct deep analysis of their outputs to provide robust signals on model performance and human alignment. Design and analyze experiments to measure the real-world impact of our models on design quality. Conduct deep-dive analyses into model performance to identify failure modes and guide future development. You\u2019re Probably a Match If You Have A strong aesthetic sense, with a background or demonstrated passion for visual design or human-computer interaction.
