Senior Data Scientist – Voice AI & Data Strategy

Apply; Northern (KY); Hybrid; USD 120,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Deepgram is seeking a Data Scientist to sit at the intersection between research and data, focusing on conversational data to improve models. You’ll collaborate with research, engineering, and data teams to analyze languages, conditions, and speakers, shaping strategies that turn data into model gains.

This hands-on role rewards curiosity, experimentation, and the ability to scale scrappy proofs of concept into production-ready solutions.

Qualifications

• Hands-on work on real data pipelines and model-facing problems in data science or applied research.
• Strong Python and data tooling; able to build analysis, scoring, and automation.
• Experience with data characterization, data selection, active learning, or similar problems.
• Familiarity with speech/audio or NLP models; reason about model output quality, confidence, and error modes.
• Track record turning ambiguous, messy data situations into measurable model or product improvements.
• You build systems others run without you in the room — a reusable harness, not a one-off notebook.
• Strong communication skills, especially translating complex findings for audiences who don’t share your background.
• An active AI-tool user. Not aspirational — tell us what you use and what you’ve built with it.

Responsibilities

• Understand and characterize our data: languages, conditions, domains, speakers, quality.
• Design and build active-learning loops.
• Think deeply about how to best leverage humans in the loop.
• Make representative benchmarking possible with curated datasets and methodology.
• Change our minds about what data strategies actually work.
• Care about data consistency, cleanliness, and organization — making data legible to non-technical teams.
• Bring method and automation to model adaptation; turn one-off work into repeatable pipelines.
