About the role

  • Deepgram's voice-native foundation models are accessed through cloud APIs or as self-hosted and on-premises software, with unmatched accuracy, low latency, and cost efficiency.
  • There is no organization in the world that understands voice better than Deepgram.
  • At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset-AI use and comfort aren't optional, they're core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.

Responsibilities

  • More than 200,000 developers and 1,300+ organizations build voice offerings that are 'Powered by Deepgram', including Twilio, Cloudflare, Sierra, Decagon, Vapi, Daily, Cresta, Granola, and Jack in the Box.
  • We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here.
  • However, current sequence modeling paradigms based on jointly scaling model and data cannot deliver voice AI capable of universal human interaction.
  • Build next-generation neural audio codecs that achieve extreme, low bit-rate compression and high fidelity reconstruction across a world-scale corpus of general audio.
  • Are obsessed with using AI to automate and amplify your own impact
  • This role demands obsession with the problems, creativity in approach, and relentless drive toward elegant, scalable solutions.
  • Can identify the one critical experiment that will validate or kill an idea in days, not months
  • Proven ability to bridge theory and practice-someone who can both derive novel mathematical formulations and implement them efficiently
  • Demonstrated ability to build data pipelines that can process and curate massive datasets while maintaining quality and diversity
  • Track record of designing controlled experiments that isolate the impact of architectural innovations and validate theoretical insights

Benefits

  • Have the vision to scale successful proofs-of-concept 100x
  • Strong mathematical foundation in statistical learning theory, particularly in areas relevant to self-supervised and multimodal learning
