Research Engineer - Voice Intelligence

About the role

Pocket is building a category-defining platform for ambient intelligence. Voice is the highest-signal interface we have — and we’re looking for a research-minded engineer to push what’s possible with voice end-to-end: capture → understanding → real-time experiences → evaluation.

What you'll own

• Invent and ship improvements to our voice stack: diarization, VAD, noise robustness, transcription quality, speaker ID, and post-processing.

• Build new voice-powered product capabilities: better memory, better meeting/voice summaries, better action extraction, better personalization.

• Run tight research loops: define metrics, build eval sets, iterate on models/algorithms, and productionize what works.

• Improve real-time performance and reliability: streaming pipelines, latency budgets, fallbacks, and graceful degradation.

• Partner closely with product + design to translate voice capabilities into features people feel immediately.

What success looks like

• Step-function improvements in voice quality and perceived int
