Senior AI Evals Engineer
Rubrik
Senior AI evals engineer at Rubrik Bengaluru, building the evaluation frameworks and test strategies that make AI agents safe to deploy.
This full-time Bengaluru role was posted on 15 October 2026. The listing describes a hands-on technical role defining, developing and executing evaluation frameworks and test strategies for AI agents built using the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) or similar agentic frameworks, bridging AI development and reliable deployment so agents are safe, ethical, effective and meet performance standards. Responsibilities include designing and building agent evaluation frameworks - end-to-end infrastructure for evaluating LLM-based agents. Requirements include a bachelor's or master's degree in a relevant field or equivalent practical experience.

The role in plain terms
Evals are the discipline that separates demo agents from deployed ones, and this listing treats it as a first-class engineering function: building the infrastructure to measure whether agents work, not just running test cases. The mention of responsible AI as a significant focus, alongside safety and effectiveness, tells you the bar includes more than accuracy. Experience with agentic frameworks like Google ADK is named directly, so hands-on agent work matters more than general QA background.
The team and the work
Per the listing, the role sits between AI development and deployment - you define what 'good' means for agents and build the machinery that enforces it. This is a relatively new role type industry-wide, so expect to help define the practice, not inherit it.
