About the Role
As an Evals Engineer (m/w/d) at Libra, you will be the first dedicated hire on a new team responsible for measuring quality, including datasets, rubrics, judges, and harnesses that determine if an AI feature is ready for release. You will work in a lean, agile environment with AI Engineers, Legal Engineers, and Product, based at the Merantix AI Campus in Berlin.
Responsibilities
- Build and own the eval platform, including datasets, judges, harnesses, regression gates, and cost/quality views using Python, FastAPI, and Langfuse.
- Make the eval platform self-service for AI Engineers to evaluate and tune their own features.
- Map the quality landscape, defining defensible measures for research, drafting, summarization, and retrieval across different jurisdictions.
- Design rubrics and set standards for LLM-as-judge, translating expert judgment into version-controlled criteria.
- Keep judges recalibrated as models and jurisdictions change.
- Deep-dive into results and traces to identify failure points and automate fixes.
- Instrument the application to allow automated optimization of prompts, hyperparameters, and harness architecture.
- Run automated optimization (GEPA, DSPy) against a trusted fitness function.
- Treat quality per euro as a first-class metric, instrumented per call.
- Find configurations where smaller models match or exceed the performance of expensive ones.
- Own and design guardrails against ungrounded advice, invented citations, jurisdiction leakage, and prompt injection.
- Red-team guardrails and prove their effectiveness.
Requirements
- Minimum 5 years in software engineering, with at least 1 year building LLM-powered products in production.
- Strong Python skills, including FastAPI, modern tooling, and the data stack (pandas, numpy, notebooks).
- Hands-on experience designing evaluations: datasets, rubrics, LLM-as-judge, benchmarking, and human labeling.
- Solid security and data-privacy practices.
- Experience with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) in daily workflow.
- Genuine interest in the legal domain.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent in a relevant technical field (e.g., Computer Science, Software Engineering, Statistics, Data Science); advanced degree is a plus.
- Applicants may be required to appear onsite at a Wolters Kluwer office as part of the recruitment process.
- Candidates must participate in interviews without AI assistance.
Skills
- Systems thinking and anticipation of gaming.
- Ability to critically analyze data and avoid being fooled by single numbers.
- Reporting bounds and retiring unreliable results.
- Extracting expertise from busy individuals and building user-adopted tools.
- Macro-management approach: asking sharp questions, presenting options with trade-offs, and assisting in decision-making.
- Entrepreneurial, accountable, and pragmatic mindset.
- Excellent communication in English.
