Location:

Experience:

Working Hours:


Key Responsibilities

  • Build and refine models for intent recognition, speech act classification, and response routing
  • Design lightweight NLP classifiers and heuristics to optimize LLM usage
  • Improve conversational dynamics using turn-taking prediction, pause detection, and filler word modeling
  • Create classifiers to detect IVRs, gatekeepers, voicemail systems, and target respondents
  • Build or fine-tune small models for emotion detection, dialogue state tracking, or speaker intent
  • Work on context-aware response selection systems (e.g., RAG pipelines with pre-recorded replies)
  • Collaborate closely with engineering teams to deploy NLP models in real-time inference systems
  • Evaluate model performance across latency, accuracy, fallback behavior, and human-likeness

Core Skills


  • NLP frameworks: HuggingFace Transformers, spaCy, NLTK, fastText, Sentence Transformers
  • ML libraries: scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, LightGBM
  • Audio signal processing: MFCCs, VAD, filler detection, silence segmentation
  • Real-time or low-latency model design experience (quantization, distillation, pruning)
  • RAG: Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipelines using vector stores (FAISS, Chroma, Pinecone)
  • Understanding of dialog state management, dialogue act tagging, and conversational UX design


Preferred / Bonus Skills

  • Familiarity with Whisper, Coqui, Bark, or other open-source STT/TTS models
  • Prompt engineering or LLM optimization (OpenAI, Claude, LLaMA, Mistral)
  • Experience with streaming inference architectures or edge AI (e.g., LLaMA.cpp)
  • Exposure to hybrid response generation: LLM + Pre-recorded audio systems
  • Use of experiment tracking tools like MLflow or Weights & Biases


General Qualities We Value

  • Comfort working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
  • Startup or early-stage product experience
  • Strong applied portfolio: GitHub, notebooks, demos, or Kaggle/NLP competition track record
  • Eagerness to build production-ready, real-time ML features
  • Curiosity, creativity, and a collaborative mindset
