Description
We're seeking a researcher to advance the frontier of audio capabilities. You'll explore how audio models enable more natural and efficient communication/collaboration, preserving more information and capturing user intent.
This is a highly collaborative role. You'll work closely across pre-training, post-training, and product with world-class researchers, infrastructure engineers, and designers.
As a researcher in this role, you'll be expected to:
- Own research projects on audio training, low-latency inference, and conversational responsiveness.
- Design and train large-scale models that natively support audio input and output.
- Investigate scaling behaviour such as how data, model size, and compute affect capability and efficiency.
- Build and maintain audio data pipelines, including preprocessing, filtering, segmentation, and alignment for training and evaluation.
- Collaborate with data and infrastructure teams to scale audio training efficiently across distributed systems.
- Publish and present research that moves the entire community forward.
Share code, datasets, and insights that accelerate progress across industry and academia.
This role blends fundamental research and practical engineering, as we do not distinguish between the two roles internally. You will be expected to write high-performance code and read technical reports.
It's an excellent fit for someone who enjoys both deep theoretical exploration and hands-on experimentation, and who wants to shape the foundations of how AI learns.
