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 data ingestion (currently GCP with 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 with 5+ years of industry software development experience.
