The Opportunity

AI is rapidly transforming the world. Whether it’s developing the next generation of human-level intelligence, enhancing voice assistants, or enabling researchers to analyze genetic markers at scale, AI is increasingly integrated into various aspects of our daily lives.

Arize AI is the leading AI observability and evaluation platform, empowering AI engineers to build and deploy high-performing, reliable models. As the AI landscape shifts from traditional ML to generative AI and agentic systems, Arize ensures teams have the tools to monitor, troubleshoot, and improve AI in production.

The Team

Our Backend Engineering team builds all of the highly scalable distributed services that power Arize’s ML observability platform. While Go is our primary language for these distributed systems, the team also maintains services and tools written in Python, Java, and TypeScript. The expectation and scope of every individual on this team is high, whether it’s finding the most efficient way to compute model evaluation metrics across billions of data points, designing the next generation of our OLAP database architecture, or researching and implementing the latest dimensionality reduction techniques – you will never lack a technical challenge.

You will be a part of the core team that drives product innovation at Arize. You will be challenged with understanding how some of the most impactful engineering teams are developing AI and LLM-powered applications, and how to build the right tools to enable them to do their best work. Our product solutions range from clean APIs that magically instrument applications, interactive playgrounds for prompt engineering and agent development, or scaling up real-time evaluation infrastructure to handle millions of annotations per second.

What You’ll Do

  • Write maintainable, scalable, and performant backend code primarily in Go, Java, and Python, with opportunities to work in TypeScript.
  • Build high-volume and highly available analytics systems.
  • Design and build APIs specific to our customers’ Machine Learning and LLM workflows.
  • Prototype, optimize, and maintain scalable backend services that power the Arize core platform.
  • Extend, and contribute back to, open source OLAP databases and distributed message queue frameworks.
  • Develop and integrate collection tools for robust monitoring of ML and LLM pipelines.
  • Research and implement cutting-edge visualization & dimensionality reduction algorithms in a distributed environment.
  • Collaborate with our product, design, and directly with customer engineering teams to enhance and expand our product offerings.
  • Contribute to the build our own in-house AI Agents

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience working with high-performance backend systems.
  • Strong experience writing Go, Python, TypeScript/Node, Java, or similar server programming languages.
  • Enthusiasm and interest in the AI and LLM ecosystem, with a desire to learn and stay updated on emerging technologies.
  • Previous work building and operating highly complex SaaS platforms/systems.
  • Knowledge of working with public clouds & container orchestration - AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, etc.

Bonus Points, But Not Required

  • Experience with distributed stream processing - Kafka, Gazette, or similar.
  • Experience with OLAP systems.
  • Familiarity with system observability tooling like Prometheus.
  • Working knowledge of Machine Learning and/or Data Science.
  • First-hand experience working with large language models (LLMs) or developing AI products.

The estimated annual salary for this role is between $125,000 - $225,000, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is determined based on a variety of job-related factors that may include transferable work experience, skill sets, and qualifications. Total compensation also includes a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, a 401(k) plan, unlimited paid time off, a generous parental leave plan, and additional support for mental health and wellness.

While we are a remote-first company, we have opened offices in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area, as an option for those in those cities who wish to work in-person. For all other employees, there is a WFH monthly stipend to pay for co-working spaces.
