Lead Scientist

Ready to architect the future of human-computer voice interaction?

Join an established conversational AI company as they transition from traditional cascaded speech systems to cutting-edge E2E speech-to-speech technology. You'll lead this transformation, building multimodal systems that will redefine how millions interact with AI.

The opportunity

You'll be leading the development of speech technology that directly impacts real users at massive scale. The company processes millions of daily interactions across major enterprise clients, meaning your research will shape real-world conversational experiences.

You'll spearhead the development of full-duplex speech systems, creating truly natural AI conversations that go far beyond current capabilities.

Your impact

* Design and build next-generation multimodal speech LLM architecture from the ground up

* Drive breakthroughs in speech-to-speech modeling and full-duplex conversation systems

* Tackle turn-taking, interruption handling, and simultaneous speech processing

* Bridge cutting-edge research with enterprise-grade production systems

* Lead a growing team focused on SOTA speech-to-speech breakthroughs and own the development end-to-end

What you'll bring

* Deep understanding of SOTA speech models and neural audio processing

* Experience building speech language models/multimodal systems

* Strong background in speech AI research and modern speech architectures

This is all underpinned by access to a large corpus of real enterprise conversational data and serious GPU infrastructure.

The company has built everything in-house, giving you complete technical control and the freedom to explore any approach that delivers value.

With their established market position and proven track record, you'll have the resources and real-world testing ground to make transformative impact with your research.
