Job Description
Want to work on one of the hardest unsolved problems in voice AI making it actually sound like a human conversation
Most voice AI falls apart the moment a conversation gets messy. Someone interrupts emotions shift the flow breaks and the model cant keep up.
A small ambitious SF startup is tackling exactly these problems building speech models that handle natural conversation the way humans actually experience it. They have a working prototype and early commercial traction across several high-profile industry verticals.
The role
As a Senior Research Scientist your focus is post-training curating data fine-tuning pre-trained speech models and building the evaluation infrastructure that validates it all. Youll work on large-scale models with access to significant data resources.
What youll do
Shape the data that goes into post-training sourcing cleaning and structuring it for large speech models
Supervised fine-tuning of pre-trained speech models
Build evaluation workflows automated and human-in-the-loop
Drive measurable improvements in hallucination rates instruction-following and generalisation
What youll bring
PhD in ML or related field with a strong publications record
Hands-on experience training large speech models ASR TTS or speech-to-speech
Solid post-training and SFT experience
The founding team includes a founding engineer from a billion-dollar AI company where they co-created one of the first generative models in the field alongside the co-creator of the first generative voice at one of the worlds largest tech companies.
Compensation is between $400k-$500k base with generous equity.
