Are you a skilled engineer looking to level up and make a substantial impact in AI observability? Helicone.ai is seeking a technically proficient, highly driven software engineer to join our team. We’re an agile startup developing a platform for LLM observability, helping developers gain insights, optimize performance, and streamline workflows in AI applications.
This role requires a mid-level software engineer who’s a problem-solver at heart and passionate about building scalable, resilient systems. You'll be working closely with our engineering team to shape the future of LLM observability.
Key Responsibilities:
At Helicone.ai, we combine a cutting-edge tech stack with a focus on solving complex problems in AI observability. Our platform is designed to give developers unparalleled insights into their applications' performance, costs, and behavior, all while being scalable, developer-friendly, and secure.
Real-Time Observability at Scale:
Building a platform that processes millions of events in real time requires highly optimized data pipelines. With Clickhouse and Redis, we ensure low-latency data ingestion and querying to deliver actionable insights instantly.
Unified LLM Integrations:
Supporting multiple LLM providers means creating unified abstractions that simplify diverse APIs. Developers can seamlessly integrate and switch between providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini without additional overhead.
Prompt Management and Experimentation:
We empower developers to track prompt versions, run experiments, and analyze metrics like cost, latency, and accuracy. This enables fine-tuned optimizations to improve performance and ROI for LLM applications.
Data Privacy and Security:
With enterprise customers relying on our platform, we maintain SOC 2 and GDPR compliance while implementing features like rate limiting, access control, and secure caching to safeguard sensitive data.
By joining Helicone, you’ll dive into some of the most exciting challenges in AI observability, from real-time analytics to developer-centric tooling. Our dynamic team is shaping the future of AI performance monitoring, and we’d love for you to be part of it!
