Descripción del empleo

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Senior Researcher in Mexico.

As a Senior Researcher, you will work at the frontier of streaming speech recognition and real-time speech understanding, developing cutting‑edge models that power production systems used at massive scale. This role combines deep research with real‑world impact, allowing you to take ideas from theory and experimentation all the way to deployment. You will explore novel architectures at the intersection of speech models and large language models, with a strong focus on latency, accuracy, and robustness. Working in a fully remote and highly technical environment, you will collaborate closely with research engineers and production teams. Your work will directly influence next‑generation voice applications used by millions of end users. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of Speech AI during a period of rapid growth and innovation.

Accountabilities

• Design and develop novel streaming ASR architectures that improve accuracy, latency, and cost tradeoffs in production systems.
• Research and prototype LLM‑assisted speech‑to‑text and real‑time speech understanding techniques.
• Develop algorithms for streaming speaker diarization, contextual biasing, and multilingual speech recognition.
• Lead research initiatives from early experimentation through rigorous evaluation and production deployment.
• Run systematic experiments on internal and public benchmarks with strong statistical and methodological rigor.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to translate research outcomes into scalable, production‑ready solutions.
• Contribute to publications, technical talks, and long‑term research direction and roadmap planning.

Requirements

• Strong research background in speech recognition with deep knowledge of streaming architectures such as RNN‑T and CTC, as well as modern attention‑based models.
• Proven expertise in large language models and language modeling, with the ability to bridge speech and text domains.
• Advanced proficiency in PyTorch and JAX or Flax, including implementing complex models from scratch.
• Experience with large‑scale distributed training and scaling speech or multimodal models.
• Track record of publications at top research venues or equivalent industry research impact.
• Excellent experimental discipline, including ablation studies, baseline comparisons, and evaluation design.
• Ability to operate effectively at the boundary between research and production engineering.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset in cross‑functional environments.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary range of $210,000 to $309,000, depending on experience and location.
• Meaningful equity compensation as part of the total rewards package.
• Fully remote work environment with long‑term flexibility.
• 100 percent employer‑paid medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• 401k plan with up to 4 percent employer match for U.S.-based employees.
• Opportunity to work on industry‑defining AI technology with significant real‑world impact.
• Inclusive, values‑driven culture focused on learning, integrity, and long‑term growth.
