Plan and speak at Arize-hosted and industry events and conferences
Who We're Looking for

Engaged in technical communities via GitHub, Medium, DZone, Stack Overflow, Reddit, LinkedIn, etc.
A data-driven creative who thrives in ideating and delivering on novel activities that earn the attention and trust of AI/ML practitioners
A self-learner who isn’t daunted by technical complexity and welcomes the challenge to develop their own POV
