Implement diarization, VAD, robust timestamping.
Develop classifiers for sentiment, topic, etc.
Combine transcripts with LLMs for summarization and analytics.
Deploy models to production.

What you’ll bring

5+ years (or equivalent) working on speech/audio ML in production.
Strong Python; comfort with common audio/ML tooling.
Practical experience with diarization, VAD, beam search, and noise-robust training.
Familiarity using LLMs on transcripts.

Nice to have

Multilingual ASR or code-switching experience.
Domain adaptation for far-field microphones, drive-thru, or retail/hospitality acoustics.
Basic SQL and comfort collaborating with backend engineers.
