Job Summary
About us
ai-coustics is building the reliability layer for Voice AI the system that closes the gap between raw audio input and reliable machine understanding in production. By combining state-of-the-art speech and audio research with real-time production-grade SDKs we test observe and enable Voice AI systems to work in any environment.
Our software is used by Voice AI companies across Europe and the United States whose products require reliable performance at scale: call center agents voice agents telephony apps and enterprise voice assistants. We believe voice will become the main interface for technology and ai-coustics is building the foundational infrastructure to make audio input reliable measurable and easy to deploy.
We are backed by leading early-stage investors including Connect Ventures Partech Inovia Capital as well as angel investors from HuggingFace DeepMind and Amazon with deep expertise in AI and developer infrastructure. These partners share our vision and are helping us build a world-class team operating with high levels of responsibility and velocity. We look for people who take ownership think systemically and want to solve challenging real-world problems in close collaboration with our customers. If youre motivated by developing technology that is used in practice shaping an emerging category and setting a new standard for how Voice AI works in the real world youll feel at home at ai-coustics.
