Frontend Engineer

About Galileo

Galileo is an early-stage Series B business, founded in 2021 by Engineering Leaders from Google AI and Uber AI. Backed by tier 1 investors such as Battery Ventures, Scale Venture Partners, Walden Catalyst, and others with $68M in total funding. 

Galileo is poised to build an enduring business centered around AI/ML on unstructured data. The founding team spent years building cutting edge Machine Learning systems at Google, Uber and Apple. The big lesson was that models are as good as the data you give to them.

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.

Galileo provides an end-to-end platform for evaluating, observing, and protecting Generative AI (GenAI) applications. Their key offerings include:

• Evaluate: A tool for building and iterating on GenAI systems, allowing teams to experiment and optimize their AI models efficiently.
• Observe: A real-time monitoring and debugging solution for production GenAI applications, providing alerts about hallucinations and abnormal behavior.
• Protect: A system that creates and manages guardrails to safeguard users from harmful outputs and protect AI systems from malicious inputs.
