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:

Arena empowers businesses across industries to make high frequency, critical path decisions fully autonomous. Our products have helped some of the world’s largest CPG, manufacturing, and electronic companies transform their sales and supply chains into increasingly autonomous, self-learning systems — unlocking efficiencies and resulting in better, more affordable consumer experiences. 

Arena knows that autonomy can help organizations tackle much more, from delivering critical goods and services more affordably, sustainably, and equitably to the world, to reducing green premiums on renewable energy to compete more effectively with fossil fuels.

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.
