About Distyl AI Distyl AI develops production-grade AI systems to power core operational workflows for Fortune 500 companies. Powered by a strategic partnership with OpenAI, in-house software accelerators, and deep enterprise AI expertise, we deliver working AI systems with rapid time to value – within a quarter.
Our products have helped Fortune 500 customers across diverse industries, from insurance and CPG to non-profits. As part of our team, you will help companies identify, build, and realize value from their GenAI investments, often for the first time. We are customer-centric, working backward from the customer’s problem and holding ourselves accountable for creating both financial impact and improving the lives of end-users.
Distyl is led by proven leaders from top companies like Palantir and Apple and is backed by Lightspeed, Khosla, Coatue, Dell Technologies Capital, Nat Friedman (Former CEO of GitHub), Brad Gerstner (Founder and CEO of Altimeter), and board members of over a dozen Fortune 500 companies.
What We Are Looking For At Distyl, we build AI systems using Evaluation-Driven Development —an approach where evaluation is not an afterthought, but the primary mechanism for iterating, improving, and trusting AI behavior in production.
AI Evaluation Engineers focus on designing and implementing the evaluation systems that drive this process. They are hands-on engineers who write production Python code, build evaluation pipelines, and use structured signals to guide system design, prompt iteration, and deployment decisions for real customer-facing AI systems.
This role is for engineers who believe that AI systems only improve when measurement is tightly coupled to development—and who want to apply that philosophy directly to systems that matter.
