About the role

Key Responsibilities

  • Scalable Model Training: Architect and manage horizontally scalable systems to accelerate end-to-end training lifecycle for STT and TTS models, including data preparation, high-throughput pipelines, distributed infrastructure, and automated evaluation tooling.
  • Tooling & Accessibility: Design and implement internal UIs and tools making ML systems accessible to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Infrastructure & Tools: Oversee training tooling, job orchestration, experiment tracking, and data storage.

It's Important to Us That You Have

  • Strong experience with the machine learning research pipeline, particularly in STT or related speech domains, experimenting with architectures, and implementing large-scale training systems.
  • Proficiency with orchestration and infrastructure tools like Kubernetes, Docker, and Prefect.
  • Familiarity with ML lifecycle tools such as MLflow.
  • Experience building internal tools or dashboards for non-technical users.
  • Hands-on experience with data engineering practices for unstructured audio and text data.
  • Comfortable working in cross-functional teams.
