About the role

At Cartesia, the quality of our models is inseparable from the quality of our data.
Data infrastructure - web-scale processing and storage that keeps petabytes of multimodal data flowing reliably to the teams that depend on it.
Data-centric modeling - training and evaluating models to understand what actually makes data good, and turning those insights into better datasets.

Lead and grow a high-caliber team of data infrastructure engineers and data-focused researchers, splitting focus between shared infra and dedicated modeling teams.
Drive the creation of SOTA multimodal pre-training datasets - including the annotation models and curation strategies that determine what our models learn.
Partner closely with our modeling and research teams to make sure data work translates directly into better models.
Hire, mentor, and develop engineers and researchers as the team scales from a handful of people to a full organization.
Our team combines deep expertise in model innovation and systems engineering paired with a design-minded product engineering team to build and ship cutting edge models and experiences.
We're funded by leading investors at Index Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, along with Factory, Conviction, A Star, General Catalyst, SV Angel, Databricks and others.
We're fortunate to have the support of many amazing advisors, and 90+ angels across many industries, including the world's foremost experts in AI.
