SoundHound AI believes every person should be able to interact naturally with the products around them–by simply talking. With a global reach spanning two dozen languages, we build Voice AI products with conversational intelligence for cars, restaurant ordering, and more, allowing our customers to extend their brand in new and meaningful ways.

We are looking for an experienced software engineer to join our core speech technology team. You will collaborate with researchers and software engineers to ship our voice AI products to customers across various industries. Team projects include deep learning acoustic models, wake word detection, voice biometrics, and sound event detection.

Our team is mostly based in Europe (France and Germany), with some team members in the United States. We enjoy flexible working hours and a high level of ownership across our projects.

We are open to hiring remotely throughout France. Paris-based employees have the added benefit of enjoying in-person collaboration at our office. Employees can choose between virtual, hybrid, and in-office workplace options.

In this role, you will:

  • Train acoustic models for our voice AI products
  • Build feature extraction tools and inference engines
  • Optimize training pipelines
  • Support our ASR architecture and cluster ecosystem
  • Guide junior teammates on projects and share best practices

We would love to hear from you if:

  • You graduated with a Master's degree in Computer Science
  • You have between 6 and 13 years of full-time software engineering experience
  • You are proficient in writing production-level Python code
  • You are proficient in Torch and other ML frameworks
  • You are keen on Kubernetes, Kubeflow, Docker, and other containerization technologies 
  • You know how to write optimized code and leverage hardware for high-performance computing
  • You are adept in algorithms and data structures
  • You work synergistically with others, making the whole greater than the sum of its parts

We’d be incredibly excited if you have written C++ modules for Python, worked on embedded ML projects using TensorFlow Lite, and are familiar with distributed computing technologies like RabbitMQ, Redis, and ZeroMQ. Familiarity with real-time audio and signal processing is also a plus!

Here at SoundHound, diversity, equity, and inclusion are key to who we are as a company. With a mission to build Voice AI for the world, creating a team with global perspectives is critical to our success. 

We care deeply about fostering an environment where everyone is supported and can do their best work.
