Senior Software Engineer - Machine Learning Backend & Systems

Location:  San Francisco Bay Area, New York or Remote

About Galileo

Galileo is a late-stage Series A business, founded in 2021 by Engineering Leaders from Google AI and Uber AI. The founders spent over 10 years building cutting edge Machine Learning systems at Google, Uber and Apple, and founded the company from the battle scars around building some of the biggest ML Platforms on the planet. The big lesson learnt was that a Machine Learning model is only as good as the data you give it.


In the era of Generative AI and LLMs, the tools that Data Scientists use to do evaluations of Language Models and Applications includes ad-hoc python scripts, Jupyter Notebooks and Excel sheets. This calls for new tools in the LLM development stack to mitigate data errors and biases, investigate regions of LLM underperformance, and help create high quality LLM based applications quickly via robust evaluation and experimentation tooling.


At Galileo, we are building a next generation Large Language Model (LLM) evaluation and experimentation platform to address this problem.


With dozens of paying enterprise customers across the enterprise and high growth startups, Galileo is creating the "LLM Evaluation" market. Backed by tier 1 investors such as Battery Ventures and Walden Catalyst and over $23M in funding, Galileo is poised to build an enduring business centered around the core ingredient of machine learning – the data.
