You make personal computing reachable through the ways people naturally communicate: speech, vision, and whatever else somebody brings to it, under the constraints of a device rather than a data centre. The recurring trap in this area is fluency, which is now easy to produce and easy to mistake for understanding. Telling those apart, and evaluating on the input people really give rather than the input that demos well, is the work.
Open for applications. Starts at: Research program.
We are taking applications for this role now and building the pipeline for it. The stage above is when the work itself is expected to begin, which is something you deserve to know before you apply rather than after. It is context, not a gate.
Where
In the office together five days a week, in one of our garages, and remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time. We hire across the United States 🇺🇸, India 🇮🇳 and the UAE 🇦🇪.
The work
Develop or adapt models for speech, documents, images and grounded interaction. Evaluate diverse accents, environments and accessibility needs with appropriate participant consent. Measure local performance and make capture, retention and activation behavior understandable.
The milestone
In your first 90 days, deliver a bounded multimodal capability with evaluation across realistic conditions and a clear record of its limitations.
Required
Nice to have
Evidence
Bring research or advanced engineering in speech, vision or multimodal learning. Show how you distinguish apparent fluency from correct understanding.
Evidence, not credentials. We are describing work you can point at, in whatever form it exists.
The exercise
Design an evaluation for a voice-controlled task in a shared room where only one person has authorized the action.
The package
Indicative pay ranges by market and level are on the compensation page. Plan numbers are confirmed in your offer letter.
Apply
One short form. A person reads every application and you hear back either way. You will get your own link to check where things stand, and you can withdraw or delete your application from it at any time, without an account.
