Looking to define ASR strategy for the next generation of social AI?

You'll be joining a well-funded social AI company building lifelike AI characters that interact naturally across voice, video, and text. Founded by a prominent tech entrepreneur, they're creating new media formats for AI-driven interaction where agents handle group conversations, interruptions, and multi-agent dynamics.

Your mission

You'll own the ASR function from day one - starting with evaluating and implementing existing solutions, then moving toward building proprietary models as the platform scales. This means hands-on work testing APIs and open-source models, followed by developing custom systems for multi-agent group conversations and social interactions.

You'll shape the technical direction, balance short-term delivery with long-term innovation, and drive individual research initiatives while collaborating on broader team objectives.

Your focus

• Define and execute the ASR roadmap from evaluation through production deployment
• Build and train models that handle natural conversation dynamics
• Develop evaluation systems to measure accuracy, speed, and reliability
• Define data requirements and create pipelines for ASR training
• Work from low-level performance optimizations to high-level architecture decisions

What you'll bring

• Proven track record building and deploying ASR systems at scale
• Strong familiarity with SOTA ASR models and architectures (Whisper, Conformer, etc.)
• Understanding of data quality assessment for speech systems

Nice to have

• Experience leading technical initiatives or ML teams

Remote with competitive comp + stock.

Looking to solve complex ASR challenges at scale?

You'll be joining an established conversational AI company with proprietary in-house speech models that process billions of interactions annually, where your ASR expertise will directly impact real-world customer experiences.

You'll be tackling demanding ASR problems in production environments: streaming speech recognition in noisy conditions, robust accent handling and maintaining high performance at scale.

Working across key production environments, you'll enhance speech capabilities and bring new features to production that push the boundaries of what's possible in challenging acoustic environments.

Your focus

• Maintain and iteratively improve existing ASR technology while introducing cutting-edge enhancements
• Work end-to-end across speech processing components: speech enhancement, VAD, diarisation, and ASR (AM/LM modelling, ASR biasing)
• Build streaming ASR systems optimised for challenging acoustic environments
• Implement emotion detection and acoustic condition classification capabilities
• Run extensive experiments to advance activity detection and speech processing performance

What you'll bring

• Strong background in ASR model development and deployment
• Hands-on experience with SOTA speech toolkits (Kaldi, K2, NVIDIA NeMo, Parakeet)
• Proven streaming ASR experience in production environments

This is a fully remote role – must be close to EU timezone.
