• Prototype, evaluate, and productionize voice and audio models and pipelines
• Optimize inference performance including batching, caching, and hardware utilization
• Integrate machine learning systems behind production APIs

Sr AI Engineer Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience building and deploying machine learning systems in production
• Hands-on experience training and tuning models using real datasets
