Shape the future of voice AI by building and refining production-grade Text-to-Speech systems that deliver natural, expressive speech in real time. You'll take ownership of deploying and optimizing large-scale neural models, ensuring they run efficiently across distributed environments while maintaining high audio quality and low latency.
What You’ll Do
- Deploy and fine-tune TTS models in both cloud and on-prem setups, focusing on scalability and reliability under heavy load.
- Apply advanced post-training methods—including DPO, GRPO, and RLHF—to improve model behavior and output quality during inference.
- Optimize performance through quantization, kernel tuning, and smart batching strategies tailored for GPU-accelerated systems.
- Collaborate with research and engineering teams to integrate new capabilities, run A/B tests, and iterate on live models.
- Ensure system resilience and high availability for multi-speaker, expressive voice generation across enterprise use cases.
- Document and share best practices for inference efficiency, monitoring, and long-term maintainability.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience deploying neural TTS models in production environments at scale.
- Strong grasp of real-time audio processing constraints and low-latency system design.
- Familiarity with GPU acceleration, distributed computing, and infrastructure that supports high-throughput inference.
- Skill in diagnosing and resolving performance bottlenecks, quality regressions, and system failures in live voice pipelines.
- Adaptability to thrive in a fast-moving startup culture with end-to-end ownership of critical systems.
Nice to Have
- Contributions to open-source TTS or audio processing frameworks.
- Background in telephony, live communication platforms, or enterprise voice applications.
