Applied Researcher, Audio Understanding

ABOUT CARTESIA Our mission is to architect AI that learns from and interacts with the world like humans do. We're pioneering the model architectures that will make this possible. Our founding team met as PhDs at the Stanford AI Lab, where we invented State Space Models or SSMs, a new primitive for training efficient, large-scale foundation models. Our team combines deep expertise in model innovation and systems engineering paired with a design-minded product engineering team to build and ship cutting edge models and experiences. We're funded by leading investors at Index Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, along with Factory, Conviction, A Star, General Catalyst, SV Angel, Databricks and others. We're fortunate to have the support of many amazing advisors, and 90+ angels across many industries, including the world's foremost experts in AI. ABOUT THE ROLE As a Senior Applied Researcher in Audio Understanding, you will be responsible for tackling the most challenging problems in audio perception. Your work will go beyond traditional speech recognition to encompass the full spectrum of audio perception, from identifying speakers and interpreting emotion to understanding complex acoustic environments. You will lead high-impact projects that are critical to our mission of building truly aware AI. YOUR IMPACT - Architect and develop novel, large-scale models for complex audio...
