Job description
from Together AI careersAbout the Role
Together AI is building the best inference infrastructure for voice applications. Our Voice AI platform powers production-grade, real-time voice agents and applications — serving speech-to-text and text-to-speech models with best-in-class latency and reliability.
We're looking for a Senior ML Engineer to drive the model serving layer for voice workloads. You'll work hands-on with inference engines like TRT-LLM and SGLang to optimize how we serve models like Whisper, Parakeet, Orpheus, and Kokoro — pushing latency and throughput to the frontier. You'll profile GPU utilization, design batching strategies for streaming audio, and ensure new model architectures can go from research to production quickly.
This is a foundational hire on a small, high-impact team. Voice inference has unique challenges — streaming audio, tokenization, real-time latency budgets — that require dedicated ML engineering focus. You'll shape how Together serves voice models as the industry moves from pipeline architectures (ASR → LLM → TTS) toward end-to-end speech-to-speech.
- Own the model serving stack that powers Together's voice platform across STT, TTS, and speech-to-speech.
- Work directly with state-of-the-art accelerators (H100s, H200s, B200s) to optimize voice model inference.
- Collaborate with model partners (Cartesia, Deepgram, Rime, and others) to bring their models to production on Together's infrastructure.
