Overview

We are looking for an ML researcher who will be responsible for designing, training, and testing data pipelines and ML models while collaborating with current developers on existing models and codebases. This is a core research role that will work on expanding model offerings and updating existing models based directly on customer feedback. This role’s focus is to push the boundaries of emotion model capabilites.

This position is expected to:

  • Train, test, validate, and iterate on ML models for emotion detection from voice

  • Design and implement large data pipelines for training and evaluation

  • Prototype new data procesing and model approaches

  • Build multimodal data analysis pipelines

  • Incorporate customer feedback into data collection and training pipelines

  • Contribute to our work on bias detection and mitigation — ensuring models perform equitably across diverse populations

  • Work 3+ days a week in office in San Francisco

An ideal skill set includes:

  • A strong background in Data Science

  • Proficiency working with Python, Pytorch, Tensorflow/Keras, ScikitLearn, and AWS Sagemaker

  • Extensive experience with data processing and training models from scratch

  • Knowledge of architectures from simple neural networks to large scale transformer models to cutting-edge research

  • Familiarity with signal processing techniques and experience with time series and/or audio data

Preferred but not required:

  • Experience with MLOps and cloud deployment

  • Publications in major ML journals
