Key skills for this role
This role has two core parts, both centered around working closely with the best AI labs in the world.
First, you’ll partner directly with our lab customers to integrate their models, run and deliver evals, and act as their go-to person at Arena. You’ll plug into their research roadmap, understand where they’re headed, and help them get real value from our data. Along the way, you’ll spot gaps, surface new opportunities, and help shape what we build next.
Second, you’ll roll up your sleeves and build. You’ll take on specific customer engineering asks and ship solutions that push the frontier of what our platform can do. Some of what you build may eventually scale into our Data or Applied ML stack — but it starts with solving real, high-impact problems for cutting-edge AI teams.
Arena Intelligence is the open platform for evaluating how AI models perform in the real world. Created by researchers from UC Berkeley’s SkyLab, our mission is to measure and advance the frontier of AI for real-world use.
Millions of people use Arena Intelligence each month to explore how frontier systems perform — and we use our community’s feedback to build transparent, rigorous, and human-centered model evaluations. Leading enterprises and AI labs rely on our evaluations to understand real-world reliability, alignment, and impact. Our leaderboards are the gold standard for AI performance — trusted by leaders across the AI community and shaping the global conversation on model reliability and progress.
We’re a team of researchers, engineers, academics, and builders from places like UC Berkeley, Google, Stanford, DeepMind, and Discord. We seek truth, move fast, and value craftsmanship, curiosity, and impact over hierarchy. We’re building a company where thoughtful, curious people from all backgrounds can do their best work. Everyone on our team is a deep expert in their field — our office radiates excellence, energy, and focus.
