Job Description

• Strategic Model Integration: Evaluation and integration of open-source and commercial models (e.g., for ASR, TTS, diarization, VAD), balancing quality, latency, and cost to accelerate game development. • Model R&D & Adaptation: Lead the fine-tuning and adaptation of speech models (TTS, Voice Cloning, ASR) using parameter-efficient techniques (e.g., LoRA/PEFT) to address production gaps and creative constraints that external/commercial solutions cannot satisfy. • Data & Alignment: Lead audio and multimodal data curation, including cleaning, segmentation, labeling, and synthetic data generation to support speech model training and adaptation. • Scalable Training: Scale speech model training using distributed data pipelines and training strategies for large datasets.

Job Requirements

  • Speech & Audio Research Expertise: Deep foundation in deep learning and modern sequence modeling, with a proven track record of building and training speech/audio pipelines (ASR, TTS, diarization, VAD) at scale using PyTorch.
  • Data-Centric Mindset: Skilled in data cleaning, curation, and the creation of synthetic data for complex evaluation and training pipelines.
  • Pragmatic Innovator: Proven ability to navigate "build vs. buy" decisions, prioritizing production impact and "Netflix-quality" bars.
  • Programming: Expert proficiency in Python; experience with C++ or Java.
  • Creative Mindset: Passionate about using technology to solve creative challenges in game design, such as procedural storytelling or immersive soundscapes.
