Senior Software Engineer, Platform

About Galileo

Galileo is a late-stage Series A business, founded in 2021 by Engineering Leaders from Google AI and Uber AI. 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 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.

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.
