About the role

  • Lead the design and implementation of a scalable, high-availability voice infrastructure that replaces legacy systems.
  • Build and refine multi-threaded server frameworks capable of handling thousands of concurrent, real-time audio streams with minimal jitter and latency.
  • Deploy robust ASR > LLM > TTS pipelines that process thousands of calls concurrently.
  • Develop robust logic for handling media streams, ensuring seamless audio data flow between clients and our ML models.
  • Build advanced monitoring and load-testing tools specifically designed to simulate high-concurrency voice traffic.
  • Partner with Speech Scientists and Research Engineers to integrate state-of-the-art models into a production-ready environment.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a proven track record of building and maintaining production-grade infrastructure.
  • A background in building ASR/TTS products at scale that interact with foundational LLMs.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Golang, Python, or willingness to learn.
  • Deep understanding of audio processing, including sample rates, codecs (Opus, G.711), network protocols, and buffering strategies.
  • Strong background in object-oriented design and the ability to architect systems that are both modular and performant.
  • The ability to navigate and refactor large existing codebases while transitioning to new, more efficient architectures.
