Staff Software Engineer, Governance - Domino Data Lab

Who We Are

At Domino, we build solutions that help the largest, highly regulated organizations adopt AI to accelerate mission-critical use cases. Our platform integrates a streamlined model and app development environment, advanced model, agent, and app hosting capabilities, and novel governance capabilities providing regulator-ready AI at scale. Our customers — like Johnson & Johnson, GSK, Bristol Myers, UBS, FINRA and the US Navy — are using our software to solve some of the most important challenges in the world, such as developing new medicines, securing our financial markets, or protecting our country.

Backed by Sequoia Capital, Coatue Management, NVIDIA, Snowflake and other leading investors, we have been in business for over a decade but are still a small team operating with the spirit of a startup. In the world of AI today, we believe that the future is still being invented — and we want to be the ones building it.

What We Are Building

The Governance team at Domino is aimed at making Domino become the leading platform that enables enterprises to govern their AI projects effectively and efficiently. This is meant to support innovation cycles for our customers, while allowing them to build models and outputs responsibly and safely.

The Data Product team at Domino is responsible for developing the integrations with services, systems and sources that data scientists rely on for their model development and analytics work. Our mission is to make access to data seamless and comprehensive such that data scientists can incorporate data into their workflows without worrying about how. We take satisfaction in making sure that data scientists can derive insights and produce predictions knowing that they have the full availability of data without worrying about engineering complexity.

The two teams have been working interchangeably and smoothly to fulfill their respective missions.
