Scorecard AI | Founding Engineer | San Francisco (Onsite) | Full-Time | https://scorecard.io

Scorecard builds simulation environments and reward models that frontier AI labs and enterprises use to train and evaluate their agents. Same discipline that made self-driving cars work, applied to LLM-based agents.

Our founding team built simulation infrastructure at Waymo, SpaceX, and Uber ATG. I'm Dare, the CEO and scaled Waymo's simulation org to 200+ engineers. We're ~7 people, 7-figure revenue, $3.75M seed led by Kindred Ventures with angels from OpenAI, Apple, Waymo, Uber, Perplexity, and Meta.

Founding Engineer ($175K-$280K + strong equity). Primarily backend. You'll own technical domains end-to-end. We use agentic tooling (Claude Code) heavily. Moving fast and working customers matters more than deep expertise in any one language.

Stack: TypeScript, Node.js, Next.js, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Temporal, GCP.

Scorecard | Founding Engineer, Founding UX Designer, Founding GTM | SF, CA ONSITE | Full-time

Scorecard is building the leading platform for testing, evaluating, and monitoring AI applications. We help teams ship reliable AI products faster—from prototype to production. Our customers include developers and enterprises building with LLMs who need confidence their AI agents perform as expected.

We recently raised $3.75M in seed funding from Kindred Ventures, Neo, and angels from OpenAI, Google, and Meta: https://www.businessinsider.com/scorecard-raises-millions-ki...

See how we're helping enterprises like Thomson Reuters ensure their AI agents are production-ready: https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en-us/posts/innovation/from-t...

Tech Stack: Full TypeScript w/Next.js, Express, React, PostgreSQL, and agents like Claude Code/Gemini review.

We're an early-stage, fast-growing team tackling the most pressing problems in the AI reliability space. If you're excited about being a founding team member at a company defining how the industry evaluates and optimizes AI systems, we'd love to hear from you.

Open Roles:

- Founding Software Engineer: Build the core platform that helps developers test and evaluate AI agents at scale - Founding UX Designer: Design intuitive experiences that make complex AI evaluation accessible to all developers - Founding GTM: Help define and execute our go-to-market strategy as we scale with customers

Show HN: Scorecard – Evaluate LLMs like Waymo simulates cars

https://docs.scorecard.io/intro/overview

Hey HN! I built self-driving sim and eval at Waymo. Now I’m building Scorecard to bring that approach to agent eval: reproducible, automated scoring for AI. Scorecard lets you:- Run LLM-as-judge evals on agent workflows: test tool usage, multi-step reasoning, and task completion in CI/CD or in a playground.- Debug failures with OpenTelemetry traces: see which tool failed, why your agent looped,...

Re:First MCP Server for Eval on Friday May 30, 2025 @04:07PM (#44139476)
Hi HN- we're excited to launch the first remote MCP server for claude.ai and cursor for LLM evaluation. Would love your thoughts and feedback :)
This initiative is designed to be community-driven, so we're looking forward to your feedback on what agent benchmarking needs exist in your domains. While starting with legal AI, we plan to expand across industries where benchmarks for AI agents evaluation are needed.
Re:Vercel Fluid Compute on Wednesday February 19, 2025 @12:42AM (#43098964)
Yes quite helpful- thanks for explaining and will try it out!
Re:Vercel Fluid Compute on Monday February 17, 2025 @04:10AM (#43076798)
The concurrent request handling seems great for our AI eval workloads, where we're waiting for LLM API calls and DB operations but curious how Vercel handles potential noisy neighbor issues when one request consumes excessive CPU/memory?

Disclosure: CEO of Scorecard- AI eval platform, current Vercel customer. Intrigued since most of our time serverless time is spent waiting for model responses, but cautious about 'magic' solutions.

Re:FAA approves hundreds more engines to use unleaded avgas on Friday October 29, 2021 @05:36PM (#29043826)
I'm excited about this push. One interesting note is how this entire project has been 'in flight' for 30+ years almost cancelled with PAFI and then with then with recent pressure to close airports (namely KRHV) with leaded fuel as the lighting rod the FAA has now accelerated to “progress at the speed of light.”

"He added that the accelerated commitment reflects new urgency arising from the FAA’s awareness that some local governments are taking action to ban leaded avgas from being used at airports in their jurisdictions.

Local governments threats driving innovation at the federal level :P
