NVIDIA is at the forefront of powering AI and LLMs across multiple industries. Our thesis is that to build exceptional LLMs you need exceptional human beings to train them. Humans are essential in providing the best training data for these models, and NVIDIA operates the largest network of humans in the world to provide this training data. As the Head of Data Quality Operations, you will be responsible for ensuring that our training data quality is as useful for customers as possible. You will own ideating what high-quality training means and looks like across various projects, driving thought leadership with our customers about data quality, developing the entire annotator training program, creating our “golden datasets” to programmatically evaluate annotators, and more. The role involves a combination of critical thinking, data analysis, roll-up-your-sleeves operations, and cross-functional collaboration. This is one of the highest-impact roles at the company. The ideal candidate has a strong entrepreneurial demeanor, is comfortable leading a team and working with them under ambiguity at a high velocity and can make things happen.
