Research Engineer, Machine Learning Systems

Readable role content extracted into sections for faster review.

Scalable Model Training: Architect and manage horizontally scalable systems that dramatically accelerate the end-to-end training lifecycle for Speech-to-Text (STT) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) models. This includes far more than automated training: the role focuses on making model development significantly faster and more efficient through optimized data preparation and management, high-throughput training pipelines, distributed infrastructure, and automated evaluation tooling.
Tooling & Accessibility: Design and implement internal UIs and tools that make ML systems and workflows accessible to non-technical stakeholders across the company. These UIs should be designed to provide transparency and flexibility to internally built tooling.
Infrastructure & Tools: Oversee and manage training tooling, job orchestration, experiment tracking, and data storage.

See "unsolved" problems as opportunities to pioneer entirely new approaches
Can identify the one critical experiment that will validate or kill an idea in days, not months
Have the vision to scale successful proofs-of-concept 100x
Are obsessed with using AI to automate and amplify your own impact

Strong experience with the machine learning research pipeline, particularly in STT or related speech domains. This includes experimenting with and evaluating new architectures and modeling approaches, 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 that include researchers, engineers, and product stakeholders.
