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. This is a hands-on role where you'll be scrappy in sourcing new audio data and bringing it into the ingestion pipeline.
Key responsibilities include: operating and extending cloud infrastructure for the ingestion pipeline (GCP, Terraform); collaborating with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier; delivering richer datasets at larger scale and lower cost; and working with the AI team and leadership to shape the dataset roadmap for next-generation consumer and enterprise products.
You'll need a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or related field with 5+ years of industry software development experience. Required skills: bash/Python scripting in Linux, Docker, Infrastructure-as-Code, and hands-on experience with a major cloud provider (GCP preferred). Experience with web crawlers and large-scale data processing workflows is a plus. The role demands strong communication, adaptability, and the ability to handle multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment.
