Senior Software Engineer, AI Platform and Enablement

Job description

We're building a next-generation AI-powered platform and web application for creating audio and video content quickly and easily. This involves developing a revolutionary way to record, transcribe, edit, and mix audio and video on the web using state-of-the-art AI models—a challenge that requires solving complex technical problems. We're hiring a senior engineer to join our AI Platform and Enablement team. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment and is comfortable navigating the ambiguity of bringing research work into an established product.

In this role, you will:

• Build, maintain, and standardize third-party model integrations, including consulting for other engineering teams with AI model integration needs
• Design, implement, and maintain our AI infrastructure supporting our machine learning life cycle, including data ingestion pipelines, training developer experience and infrastructure, evaluation frameworks, and deployments / GPU infrastructure
• Collaborate with Product Managers, Research Engineers, and AI Researchers to understand their infrastructure needs and ensure our AI systems are robust, scalable, and efficient
• Optimize and scale our models and algorithms for efficient inference
