Who we are:
Our name is inspired by Theodore Roosevelt’s ‘Citizenship in a Republic’ speech, which pays homage to the ‘(hu)man in the Arena’. To us, entering the Arena means committing oneself fully and accepting the risk of failure in the pursuit of an audacious, worthy cause.
We’re a close-knit tribe of scientists and builders exploring the boundaries of how artificial intelligence can benefit humanity. If you share our passion for delving deep into real-world problems and solving them with fully autonomous AI, join us in the Arena.
What we do:
Our collective future is being built in the physical world, but the builders of tomorrow’s technology can no longer rely on yesterday’s tools. At Arena, we’re building the world’s first AI industrial engineer designed to solve the most complex hardware and manufacturing challenges. Our product, Atlas, is built with an understanding of the behavior of physical systems, powered by a superior knowledge of core domains of physics. Paired with its ability to reason about multimodal industrial data, Atlas can test, debug, optimize, and repair physical systems and products in the real world. Arena is already trusted by some of the most advanced industrial companies in the world (AMD, Bausch & Lomb), and we're rapidly already scaling into the defense, automotive, and pharmaceuticals industries, and we’re just getting started.
About the role:
In this role, your focus will be working with internal teams and external customers to prototype and build novel user interfaces across our product suite. You will work closely with real users in many different countries to imagine and define what human-computer interaction looks and feels like in an age of active learning AI. Your goal will be enabling our users to understand the impact & performance of our deployed machine learning systems in new and novel ways that are not only effective, but inspiring.
Our engineering team works directly with customers to solve complex, mission-critical challenges using Arena’s cutting-edge products and technologies. Engineers own the full solution lifecycle—from problem identification, designing and implementing data-driven solutions, to demonstrating their value in real-world scenarios. By addressing specific customer challenges, you will play a pivotal role in refining and scaling Arena’s products, contributing to their broader adoption and success.
This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in driving innovation across some of the world's most vital industries, making it ideal for those aspiring to become entrepreneurs or future engineering leaders.
You will:
- Prototype and build UX/UI that communicates your product ideas at the right level of fidelity, while expanding what UX/UI for AI can be
- Forward deploy both domestically and internationally up to 50% of your time.
- Embody deep user empathy to partner with designers, engineers, scientists, and customers, ensuring that our AI techniques and technologies translate into scalable tools, services, and customer experiences
- Employ a variety of languages, libraries, and frameworks, and tools to push the status quo of product - we use react, node, typescript, Figma, tailwind, framer motion, and more
- Apply your principles of design, engineering, and product across the full stack of our systems
You Have:
- 2+ years of professional experience post-graduation in software engineering or a related field.
- Demonstrated enthusiasm and knowledge of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning concepts.
- Proven ability to write clean, efficient code.
- Instinct to break down complex problems into small building blocks.
- Strong communication skills with empathy for end-users, ensuring usability across UI, API, and SDKs.
- A high bar for product aesthetics and functionality
