This role is part of Speechify's AI team, specifically focused on the data infrastructure and acquisition side. You will own all aspects of data collection to support model training operations, building high-quality datasets at petabyte scale while optimizing for cost efficiency.

- Operating and extending cloud infrastructure (GCP, Terraform) for data ingestion
- Collaborating with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier, delivering richer datasets at scale and lower cost
- Working with the AI team and leadership to define the dataset roadmap for next-generation consumer and enterprise products
You should have a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or related field, 5+ years of software development experience, and strong proficiency in Python/bash scripting, Docker, Infrastructure-as-Code, and cloud platforms (GCP preferred). Experience with web crawlers and large-scale data processing workflows is a plus. The ideal candidate is scrappy, adaptable, and communicates clearly in writing and verbally.
