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 for the ingestion pipeline on GCP using Terraform; collaborating with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier; and working with the AI team and 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 industry software development experience, proficiency with bash/Python scripting in Linux, hands-on experience with Docker and Infrastructure-as-Code, and professional experience with a major cloud provider (GCP preferred). Experience with web crawlers and large-scale data processing workflows is a plus. Strong communication skills and ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment are essential.
Speechify offers a competitive, entrepreneurial environment with hands-off management, the opportunity to impact a transformative product used by millions, and the chance to build technology that directly supports people with learning differences including dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism.
