Job Description

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.
