You'll join the Data side of the AI team, responsible for all aspects of data collection to support model training operations. The team builds high-quality datasets at petabyte scale through tight integration of infrastructure, engineering, and research.
Key responsibilities include: sourcing new audio data and integrating it into ingestion pipelines; operating and extending cloud infrastructure (GCP, Terraform-managed) for data ingestion; collaborating with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier; and working with AI leadership to shape 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, proficiency with bash/Python in Linux, Docker and Infrastructure-as-Code expertise, and hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (GCP preferred). Experience with web crawlers and large-scale data processing workflows is a plus. Strong communication and ability to juggle multiple priorities are essential.
The role offers a fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment with hands-off management, competitive compensation, and the opportunity to impact a transformative product used by millions, including people with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism.
