AI & Ontology — Approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete
Thank you for considering this role. We've designed this application to respect your time — and to actually distinguish the practitioners who've built and shipped agentic systems in production from those who can describe them well in the abstract.
Plan for 30 to 45 minutes. The judgment questions in particular benefit from real thought, so don't rush them — most candidates finish in around 35 minutes. Your answers are held in this browser tab — please don't refresh, close it, or use the back button until you've submitted.
You'll be asked to:
· Tell us about your background, frameworks, and evaluation discipline
· Walk us through one agent system in real depth
· Answer two judgment questions drawn from situations you've likely seen before
Strong written submissions advance to a 45-minute conversation where we'll walk through your project narrative and your judgment-question answers together. We ask follow-up questions. The written application is the start of a conversation — not the whole evaluation.
We're looking for senior practitioners who've designed and shipped agentic systems that survived production — not researchers without delivery, prompt tinkerers without engineering discipline, or generalists who picked up agent work as a side concern when it became fashionable. If that's not you yet, this probably isn't the right role at this moment — and we'd rather you know that now than spend an hour finding out.
If it is you, we'd like to hear from you.
