Benjamin Reavill


Ben is a recruitment consultant who specialises in placing top candidates into GenAI, LLM, NLP, and Agentic AI roles throughout the US market. He has over four years recruitment experience, the first two of which were dedicated exclusively to the candidate journey, where he found success as a 180 consultant. In the last 2 years, he's dedicated his time to both identifying businesses with hiring opportunities and connecting them with the right talent, specifically within data and software. 
 
Ben finds personal and professional fulfilment in providing a social service to others. Ben started his career as a high ropes instructor by helping people conquer their fear of heights and find enjoyment in climbing. Now, as a recruitment consultant, he helpes people find fulfilment in their next career steps.
 
Having started his recruitment journey in Cambridge, UK, Ben has a background working for a diverse customer base comprised of startups, SMEs, and global enterprises across health, pharma, advanced technology and academia, where he's worked with some of the brightest minds in business. 
 
Outside of work, Ben loves hiking, fitness, and personal development, and his current goal is to visit more of the world's natural landmarks.

Remote work, United States
AI Evaluation Engineer
AI Evaluation Engineer $160,000 - $180,000 Remote (US-based)Are you passionate about shaping how AI is deployed safely, reliably, and at scale? This is a rare opportunity to join a mission-driven tech company as their first AI Evaluation Engineer, a foundational role where you’ll design, build, and own the evaluation systems that safeguard every AI-powered feature before it reaches the real world.This organization builds AI-enabled products that directly helps governments, nonprofits, and agencies deliver financial support to people who need it most. As AI capabilities race forward, ensuring these systems are safe, accurate, and resilient is critical. That’s where you come in.You won’t just be testing models, you’ll be creating the frameworks, pipelines, and guardrails that make advanced LLM features safe to ship. You’ll collaborate with engineers, PMs, and AI safety experts to stress test boundaries, uncover weaknesses, and design scalable evaluation systems that protect end users while enabling rapid innovation. What You’ll DoOwn the evaluation stack – design frameworks that define “good,” “risky,” and “catastrophic” outputs.Automate at scale – build data pipelines, LLM judges, and integrate with CI to block unsafe releases.Stress testing – red team AI systems with challenge prompts to expose brittleness, bias, or jailbreaks.Track and monitor – establish model/prompt versioning, build observability, and create incident response playbooks.Empower others – deliver tooling, APIs, and dashboards that put eval into every engineer’s workflow. Requirements:Strong software engineering background (TypeScript a plus)Deep experience with OpenAI API or similar LLM ecosystemsPractical knowledge of prompting, function calling, and eval techniques (e.g. LLM grading, moderation APIs)Familiarity with statistical analysis and validating data quality/performanceBonus: experience with observability, monitoring, or data science tooling
