Job Description

Our Purpose
At Fiddler, we understand the implications of AI and the impact that it has on
human lives. Our company was born with the mission of building trust into AI.
With the rise of the internet, trust in AI has been degraded by a plethora of
issues like spam, fraudulent transactions, hate speech, and online abuse.
Fiddler enables organizations to get ahead of these issues by building
trustworthy, transparent, and explainable AI solutions.

Fiddler partners with AI-first organizations to help build a long-term
framework for responsible AI practices, which, in turn, builds trust with
their user base. Data Science, MLOps, and business teams use Fiddler AI to
monitor, explain, analyze, and improve their AI solutions to identify
performance gaps, mitigate bias, and drive better outcomes. Our platform
enables engineering teams and business stakeholders alike to understand the
โ€œwhyโ€ and how behind model outcomes.

Our Founders
Fiddler AI is founded by Krishna Gade (engineering leadership at Facebook,
Pinterest, Twitter, and Microsoft) and Amit Paka (two-time founder with
acquisitions by Samsung and PayPal and product roles at Expedia and
Microsoft). We are backed by Insight Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners,
and Lux Capital.

Why Join Us
Our team is motivated to unlock the AI opaque box and help society harness the
power of AI. Joining us means you get to make an impact by helping reduce
algorithmic bias and ensure that models in production across many different
industries are transparent and ethical. We are an early-stage startup and have
a rapidly growing team of intelligent and empathetic doers, thinkers,

space.
