We run real - time conversational pipelines end to end: speech recognition LLM reasoning/orchestration speech synthesis with tool-calling for backend actions.
We evaluate and swap models constantly across providers on cost latency and conversation quality not vibes.

Build and maintain LLM/speech eval frameworks for the voicebot task success hallucination instruction-following WER/latency barge-in and turn-taking quality across model and prompt changes.
Run fine-tuning experiments (full FT PEFT/LoRA/QLoRA) on open-weight models for domain specific voicebot tasks and produce the evidence for when fine-tuning beats prompting.
Benchmark LLMs and ASR/TTS engines on cost latency and quality across providers and self hosted options and make a clear recommendation from the data.
Diagnose and fix real production conversation failures bad turn taking misrecognition latency spikes prompt regressions using logs traces and eval data not guesswork.

Take ownership across the SDLC for your changes: design (with a senior engineer) eval design deployment and monitoring.
Solid grounding in ANNs and transformer architecture attention tokenization decoding strategies enough to reason about why a model behaves a certain way not just call an API.
Hands-on experience with LLM evals: building or running eval harnesses LLM-as judge setups regression suites for prompt/model changes.
Hands-on experience with fine-tuning including PEFT/LoRA/QLoRA on at least one open weight model for a real task (not just a tutorial).
Working knowledge of speech/ASR - TTS evaluation WER latency diarization common failure modes in real (noisy accented multilingual) audio.

2-4 years of software/ML engineering experience with at least some of it in a production system (not purely research/academic).
A track record of shipping and owning your own changes in production youve been on the hook for something live.
