This role is remote, so it can be executed globally.

About the role

• As an AI Researcher, you will work on developing and advancing state-of-the-art audio AI models serving across the full audio sweet including text-to-speech, voice design, dubbing, sound effects, and music.

• You will collaborate with a team of the top AI researchers in the world to push the boundaries of audio AI, improving both model performance and efficiency.

• You will have the opportunity to prototype and experiment with new approaches, working closely with our product and engineering teams to bring innovations to production.

Who you are

Each one of us is driven by the pursuit of excellence, supporting one another while taking ownership of our outcomes, and exploring uncharted territories. To thrive in this environment, you:

• Are passionate about text-to-speech AI driven by a desire to make content universally accessible and breaking the frontiers of new tech.

• Are a highly motivated and driven individual with a strong work ethic. Our team is committed to going the extra mile, even if it means working long nights and weekends to achieve our goals.

• Strive for excellence in every aspect of work, consistently taking ownership of your outcomes and overdelivering on goals.

• Have a humble attitude and are eager to learn whatever it might take to help your team and our customers succeed.

What you bring

• Strong academic background in machine learning, AI, or a related field (PhD preferred or equivalent experience), with a focus on deep learning and generative models.

• Expertise in audio AI or related domains, with a track record of working on text-to-speech, ASR, or similar models in real-world applications.

• Solid experience in model development and a deep understanding of neural network architectures, including transformers, recurrent networks, and generative models.

• Proficiency in research methodologies and familiarity with the latest advancements in AI, with the ability to translate cutting-edge research into practical applications.

• Strong coding skills in Python and experience with relevant machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).

What we offer

• Stock options; we want you to have ownership in the company and share the successes that lie ahead. That’s why we offer early employees stock options as part of their compensation package.

• Remote-first; we look at who you are rather than where you live. Our core hours are 2pm to 6pm GMT. As long as you are able to cover them, we support your preferred location.

• Huge impact; there’s no endless debugging or refactoring of legacy code. You’ll make sweeping changes to our UI, ship features impacting millions of users, and contribute to the platform enabling it all.

• Extraordinary team; we favor ambitious, smart people striving for outsized impact. You’ll work on the state of the art surrounded by people with extraordinary skills and positive attitudes.

• Annual company off-sites; the last two were in Portugal and Switzerland. Next stop: Croatia!
