About the role

  • About Centific Centific is a frontier AI data foundry that curates diverse, high-quality data, using our purpose-built technology platforms to empower the Magnificent Seven and our enterprise clients with safe, scalable AI deployment.
  • Our team includes more than 150 PhDs and data scientists, along with more than 4,000 AI practitioners and engineers.

Responsibilities

  • Create a data recipe that blends conversational speech with instruction‑following corpora; run targeted ablations and report findings.
  • Build an evaluation harness that covers ASR/ST/SLU and speech QA, including streaming metrics (latency, stability, endpointing).
  • Ship a minimal demo with streaming inference and logging; document setup, metrics, and reliability checks.
  • Author a crisp internal write‑up: goals, design choices, results, and next steps for productionization.

Requirements

  • familiarity with torchaudio or librosa.
  • Working knowledge of modern sequence models (Transformers or SSMs) and training best practices.

Nice to have

  • Background in multilingual or code‑switching speech and domain adaptation.
  • Hands‑on work evaluating safety, bias, hallucination, or spoofing risks in speech systems.
  • Distributed training/serving (FSDP/DeepSpeed), and experience with ESPnet, SpeechBrain, or NVIDIA NeMo.
  • PyTorch, CUDA, torchaudio/librosa
  • experiment tracking (e.g., Weights & Biases).
  • LLM backbones with lightweight adapters
  • neural audio codecs and vocoders as needed.
  • FastAPI/gRPC for services
