18000 - 26000 PLN

The Polish-American well-funded start-up based in Warsaw and San Francisco creates the next generation of storytelling platform. The product enters the second stage of development which involves AI-related technologies. For this reason, we’d like to engage high-skilled and science-oriented talent for the position:  

Speech Synthesis Engineer

Salary: 18 000 - 26 000 PLN  net B2B  

Location: Warsaw, Krakowskie Przedmiescie or  REMOTELY

Project:

You will create a platform that uses Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision to build AI Avatars of Hollywood Characters, Musicians, and Celebrities. These avatars can have 1:1 interactions with fans world-wide, at scale, through video conversations. By using the front camera on your phone and our computer vision libraries, your favorite superhero can now see, understand, and react to you in real-time. We're building what we think is the next generation of storytelling - where the audience can be an active participant in the stories they love, through natural, video interactions with their favorite characters.

Our team:

Our R&D team consists of 16 people. At the given moment its structure is flat. In the nearest months, we plan to create a leadership position responsible for all ASR and Voice Synthesis related aspects of the project and leading a dedicated R&D team.

What we expect you to be doing?

Your job will be to design, build, and ship speech technology to fulfill current and future platform and product requirements. You will set the direction of both research and production efforts. You should be comfortable working with large quantities of data, have demonstrable experience creating synthetic speech models using machine learning techniques, and have a passion for the role speech technologies will play in future human to computer interaction. 

What do we offer in return?

• Work with the best AI/ ML enthusiasts in Poland.
• Long-term cooperation based on B2B contract.
• Paid leave and Polish bank holidays.
• Flexitime.
• All necessary hardware and software tools.

Skills & Requirements

• Master’s degree, PhD, or have equivalent experience in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Applied Math, or related field.
• Strong mathematical background, especially in the optimization theory, stochastic algorithms, and/or numerical methods with a passion for solving hard math problems.
• Data science background and experience developing data-processing pipelines.
• Proven experience designing voice-operated user interfaces or conversational agents and implementing state-of-the-art methods in speech synthesis (Tacotron, Wavenet, etc.) using state-of-the-art generative models (GANs, VAEs, flow-based models, etc.).  
• Ability to independently implement ideas efficiently in a modern deep learning stack (such as Tensorflow / PyTorch).
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are required along with the ability to work in a dynamic, product-oriented, global team. Your history of mentoring other engineers and interns is a great bonus.
