About this role

Join an early-stage ambient intelligence startup as one of the first US engineering hires to design and optimize a production cloud-based ASR pipeline. You'll own transcription quality end-to-end, working directly with product leadership to ship latency, accuracy, and reliability improvements while collaborating across hardware and R&D teams.

What you'll do

  • Build and iterate on cloud-based ASR pipeline from audio capture through post-processing at production scale
  • Own ASR quality and reliability end-to-end, shipping measurable improvements in latency, small-word accuracy, and voice-print reliability
  • Execute across data preparation, model training/fine-tuning, evaluation, and deployment to translate product feedback into shipped changes
  • Debug transcription quality issues in production and iterate based on real usage data
  • Collaborate with hardware and R&D teams across time zones and partner with Product Engineer on shared backend surfaces
  • Operate autonomously in early-stage environment, turning lightweight product asks into concrete, production-ready improvements

What they're looking for

  • ASR/transcription pipeline development and optimization
  • Cloud-based audio processing and streaming systems
  • Model training, fine-tuning, and evaluation
  • Production machine learning deployment and monitoring
  • Latency-sensitive system design and debugging
  • On-device ML frameworks (Core ML, TensorFlow Lite preferred)
  • Audio feature engineering and signal processing
  • Familiarity with LLM/agent-based product features
