ASR Engineer
About the Role
This is an early engineering hire at a seed-stage ambient intelligence consumer startup, where you will own the transcription pipeline end-to-end, from audio capture through post-processing. You will work hands-on with product and general management leadership, making real tradeoffs between latency, accuracy, and reliability as the product evolves.
What You'll Do
Build and iterate on a cloud-based ASR pipeline in production at scale, covering audio capture through post-processing.
Own ASR quality and reliability end-to-end, shipping measurable improvements on latency, small-word accuracy, and voice-print reliability.
Work across data preparation, model training and fine-tuning, evaluation, and deployment to translate product feedback into shipped pipeline changes.
Collaborate closely with R&D, hardware, and supply-chain teams across time zones.
Partner with a Product Engineer on shared backend and pipeline surfaces.
Operate with minimal specification, turning loosely defined asks into concrete, production-ready improvements.
