Smartsheet is building the next generation of AI-powered work management through SmartAssist, our intelligent agent platform. As we scale from early demos to production-grade agents, quality is the critical frontier and we are looking for a Agent Quality Engineer to own it.

This is not a QA role. It's a deeply technical, high-autonomy position at the intersection of LLM evaluation, prompt and context engineering, and retrieval-augmented generation. You will diagnose why our agents fail, design the systems that catch regressions, and drive measurable improvements across our orchestrator and subagent fleet.

You will work closely with our Agent Engineering and AI Platform teams, embedded in a team that has already shipped evaluation infrastructure on Databricks/MLflow and is building toward a mature Agent Development Lifecycle (ADLC).

You Will:

• Own agent quality end-to-end: diagnosis, improvement, and validation across SmartAssist's orchestrator and subagents
• Identify failure modes across quality dimensions factual accuracy, completeness, tone, actionability, and latency and prioritize what to fix
• Drive quality improvements through prompt engineering, context engineering, and RAG retrieval tuning
• Extend and mature our evaluation framework: scorers, golden datasets, regression gates, and online evaluation for production traffic
• Close the feedback loop ensure that every change has a measurable, attributable quality signal
• Collaborate with our Agent Architecture lead to distinguish quality problems that require prompt/context solutions from those that require structural fixes
• Establish repeatable methodology that scales beyond any single agent or subagent

You Have:

Required

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years working directly with LLMs in production
• Deep, hands-on experience with prompt engineering and context engineering, you understand how model behavior changes with framing, structure, and input design
• Strong working knowledge of RAG architectures: chunking strategies, embedding models, retrieval evaluation, and failure diagnosis
• Experience building or extending LLM evaluation frameworks, you have designed scorers, worked with golden datasets, and thought carefully about what good looks like
• Fluency in agent system design, you don't need to own the architecture, but you can engage as a peer on architectural tradeoffs that affect quality
• Strong Python skills; comfortable working in data-heavy environments (Databricks, Delta tables, or equivalent)
• Ability to communicate complex quality findings (written and verbal) to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, you can explain what’s broke, why it matters, and what needs to happen next without losing the room
• Strong cross-functional judgment, you know when to escalate, when to resolve independently, and how to build credibility across engineering, product, and AI platform teams
• A bias for clarity in ambiguous situations, when failure modes are murky and trade-offs are real, you bring structure and a clear point of view rather than waiting for consensus
• Legally eligible to work in the U.S. on an ongoing basis
• BS or MS in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent industry experience

Strong Plus

• Experience with MLflow or similar experiment tracking platforms
• Familiarity with CI-integrated evaluation pipelines
• Experience with multi-agent orchestration frameworks
• Prior work in an Applied AI or LLMOps function within a product company

What Success Looks Like:

In your first 6 months, you will have:

• Delivered measurable, validated quality improvement on at least one SmartAssist agent across our defined quality dimensions
• Expanded evaluation coverage to close the most significant blind spots in our current framework
• Established a repeatable quality improvement methodology the broader team can apply

Why This Role:

• You will have real ownership, not a supporting role on someone else's roadmap
• SmartAssist is shipping to real users; this work has immediate, visible impact
• You will be part of a fast-moving team that deeply values engineering rigor and actively seeks diverse perspectives
