The posting

Hume AI is seeking a talented senior software engineer with experience in backend services and ML infrastructure who is interested in working with our team to build state-of-the-art audio models and evaluation tools. Join us in the heart of New York City and contribute to our endeavor to ensure that AI is guided by human values, the most pivotal challenge (and opportunity) of the 21st century.

About Us

Hume AI is a Series B startup dedicated to building artificial intelligence that is directly optimized for human well-being. As the first company to release speech language models, we’re focused on expanding our research to encompass audio understanding models and evaluation platforms for enterprises.

Our goal is to enable a future in which technology draws on an understanding of human emotional expression to better serve human goals. As part of our mission, we also conduct groundbreaking scientific research, publish in leading scientific journals like Nature, and support a non-profit, The Hume Initiative, that has released the first concrete ethical guidelines for empathic AI (www.thehumeinitiative.org). You can learn more about us on our website (https://hume.ai/) and read about us in WIRED, Forbes, and Venturebeat.

Requirements

  • Expertise in the Python ecosystem and popular ML libraries and tools (e.g. PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow, XGBoost, sklearn, pandas, numpy).
  • Experience building and deploying models for inference services.
  • Experience writing backend services in multiple languages (e.g. Kotlin, Go, Rust, Java, C++).
  • Understanding of core ML concepts including model architecture, training, and evaluation.
  • Expertise working with storage and compute on a cloud platform (e.g.Google Cloud, AWS).
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Bonus

  • Familiarity with data engineering principles and/or building large-scale data pipelines.
  • Familiarity with building and deploying LLM-integrated products.
  • Experience working at the intersection of machine learning research and engineering.
  • Understanding of modern deployment strategies utilizing cloud technologies. (e.g. blue/green, canary deployments, etc).
  • Experience using service deployment tooling (e.g. Kubernetes, Helm, Docker, Argo).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
