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 and low cost through tight integration of infrastructure, engineering, and research.
Key responsibilities include: sourcing new audio data and integrating it into the ingestion pipeline; operating and extending cloud infrastructure (GCP, Terraform) for data ingestion; collaborating with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier; and working with leadership to shape the AI team's 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 a major cloud provider (GCP preferred). Web crawler and large-scale data processing experience is a plus. The role requires adaptability, strong communication, and comfort operating in a scrappy, fast-moving environment.
Compensation: $140,000–$200,000 base salary plus bonus and equity. The company offers a fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment with hands-off management, asynchronous culture, and the opportunity to impact millions of users with accessibility-focused products.
