Signals from job descriptions

Patterns mined from Scale AI's open FDE postings

  • 01

    "Global Public Sector" appears as an explicit team name in current job titles. Scale is deliberately building a government-focused FDE org.

  • 02

    Defense and intelligence sectors appear in more open roles than any company in this dataset outside Palantir.

  • 03

    RLHF and evaluation pipeline experience are listed as hard requirements, not nice-to-haves. FDEs here run model improvement loops, not just deployment.
