At Weights Biases, our mission is to build the best tools for AI developers. We founded our company on the insight that while there were excellent tools for developers to build better code, there were no similarly great tools to help ML practitioners build better models. Starting with our first experiment tracking product, we have since expanded our solution into a comprehensive AI developer platform for organizations focused on building their own deep learning models and generative AI applications.
Weights Biases proudly serves over 1,000 customers and more than 30 foundation model builders including customers such as OpenAI, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Toyota.
We are hiring a seasoned engineering manager to lead our Delivery Tooling team, a critical group responsible for building and operating the platform that enables our engineers to ship software quickly, reliably, and safely.
