## About the Role

* 3+ years of full-time experience in a technically demanding engineering role, with evidence that you have independently owned complex projects from an ambiguous starting point through a real-world outcome.\n
 * Hands-on experience with audio, speech, Voice AI, audio DSP, or a closely related field. You can reason deeply about audio systems, evaluation data, model behavior, and the way these affect downstream applications.\n
 * A master's degree in a STEM field, such as computer science, mathematics, engineering, physics, or a related quantitative discipline.\n
 * Excellent communication. You can earn the trust of highly technical engineers, explain complex findings to non-specialists, ask incisive questions, and communicate an uncomfortable technical conclusion clearly when necessary.\n
 * Understanding of production ML systems. You can reason about inference, latency, CPU and memory use, concurrency, streaming state, reliability, and the practical constraints of deploying models in real-time applications.\n
 * Solid engineering skills. You can quickly understand unfamiliar systems, write clean and reliable code, and build tools and experiments that others can reproduce. Python is required; Rust is a plus.\n
 * Excellent command of agentic engineering workflows. Coding agents and AI tools are a core part of how you work. You use them to move substantially faster without outsourcing your technical judgment or attention to detail.\n
 * A product mindset. You look beyond the immediate request, recognize recurring patterns, and distinguish between a customer-specific workaround and an opportunity to improve the product for everyone.\n
 * A high-agency startup mindset. You are proactive, comfortable with ambiguity and changing priorities, and willing to do whatever technically credible work is needed to move an important customer or partnership forward.\n
