Location: Flexible | Remote-First
Role Type: Full-Time | Founding Team Position
Are you excited about creating the next wave of intelligent, voice-enabled systems? We’re looking for a forward-thinking technologist to help define the architecture of an advanced Virtual Personal Assistant (VPA) platform—one built where natural conversation, on-device performance, and cutting-edge AI meet.
What You’ll Be Building
You’ll guide the full architectural vision for a modern VPA—think SIRI’s concept, but rebuilt with today’s most powerful technologies. Expect to work on a blend of local and cloud inference, high-accuracy speech recognition systems, and deep integration across Apple hardware and software.
Core Tech Stack
Devices & Platforms: iPhone, iPad, Mac Mini M4 Pro
Key Technologies & Frameworks:
Apple Development Tools (Swift, Core ML)
LangGraph for agent orchestration
Large Language Models (LLMs)
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
ASR frameworks: OpenAI Whisper, Meta Wave2Vec-BERT
Hugging Face exporters and Swift-based transformer tooling
Accent-adaptive tuning and speech personalization
PyTorch, JAX, Ray
Distributed data pipelines with Beam, Spark, Dask, and Ray
Your Responsibilities
Architect and enhance a hybrid cloud/on-device system optimized for real-time assistant performance
Develop scalable, privacy-centric ASR and LLM workflows for natural language understanding
Tune transformer models for Apple-native deployment using Core ML and associated tooling
Drive inclusive, multilingual, and accent-resilient voice experiences
Work closely with a small, passionate team of engineers, designers, and product thinkers
Ideal Candidate
You might thrive here if you:
Have experience designing large, complex AI systems and delivering production-level voice interfaces
Bring 3+ years of hands-on work in AI/ML, particularly in Automatic Speech Recognition
Are comfortable with open-source ML ecosystems like PyTorch, JAX, and Ray
Understand distributed processing tools such as Beam, Spark, Dask, or Ray
Are proficient in multiple programming languages (C++, Python, Java preferred)
Enjoy experimenting—whether quickly prototyping or drafting detailed architectural plans
Care about accessibility, user experience, and creating fair voice interactions across accents and languages
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
This isn’t just another software project—it’s a chance to redefine what personalized, voice-driven AI can become. As a founding member, you’ll help build a system that listens, adapts, and responds in the most human-centered way possible.
And here’s a unique perk: you’ll get the opportunity to travel to the Eastern Caribbean—on us—to field-test the product in a beautiful, tropical environment. Innovation meets island energy.
