The Opportunity

AI is rapidly transforming the world, from human-level intelligence to enhanced voice assistants and large-scale genetic analysis. Arize AI is at the forefront, providing the leading AI observability and evaluation platform to help AI engineers build and deploy high-performing, reliable models. As the AI landscape evolves towards generative AI and agentic systems, Arize ensures teams have the tools to monitor, troubleshoot, and improve AI in production.

As the Engineering Manager for the Event Platform team, you will report directly to the Head of Engineering. You will lead the team responsible for our high-throughput event processing infrastructure. This critical system powers Arize's LLM evaluation and observability platform through a custom storage engine, real-time event processing infrastructure, and scalable query systems. This role is ideal for engineers passionate about optimizing distributed systems for durability, high availability, low latency, and scalability at massive scale. You will have the opportunity to shape mission-critical infrastructure fundamental to our platform's success.
