Senior Data Scientist, Voice AI Innovator

Praxy; Northern (KY); Hybrid; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Deepgram is seeking a Data Scientist to sit at the intersection of research and data, focusing on conversational data, ASR/TTS expertise, and scalable data systems. You will collaborate with research, engineering, and data teams to turn complex speech data into measurable model improvements and scalable workflows.

This hands-on role reports to the VP of Data Operations and requires comfort with rapid AI-driven iteration, experimentation, and cross-functional collaboration across a fast-moving AI

Qualifications

• Hands-on work on real data pipelines and model-facing problems in data science, ML, or applied research.
• Strong Python and data tooling; comfort building analysis, scoring, and automation yourself.
• Experience with data characterization, data selection, active learning, or similar problems.
• Working familiarity with speech/audio or NLP models — you can reason about model output quality, confidence, and error modes.
• A track record of turning ambiguous, messy data situations into measurable model or product improvements.
• You build systems others run — a reusable harness, not a one-off notebook.
• Strong communication skills, especially translating complex findings for non-experts.
• An active AI-tool user; show what you’ve built.

Responsibilities

• Understand and characterize our data. Build analyses to tell us what we have and what's underrepresented.
• Design and build active-learning loops to move performance.
• Think about how to best leverage humans in the loop.
• Make benchmarking possible with curated datasets and methodology across diverse speech data.
• Run experiments to separate what works from assumptions.
• Ensure data consistency, cleanliness, and accessibility for non-technical teams.
• Bring automation to model adaptation and repeatable pipelines.
