Job Description
We’re expanding our TTS to new languages and moving to next-generation LLM-based TTS, and we’re looking for a Machine Learning TTS Engineer to help bring these technologies to production quality! You’ll join a small TTS team of 2–3 ML engineers, supported by a dedicated MLOps team and a data engineer.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in speech technology with hands-on TTS experience.
- Hands-on experience with modern LLM-based TTS approaches (e.g., VALL-E, CosyVoice, XTTS).
- Experience making TTS models production-ready: stability, robustness, and inference efficiency at the model level.
- Proficiency in deep learning frameworks, especially PyTorch.
- Understanding of modern ML fundamentals: Transformers, diffusion/flow matching, neural audio codecs, and vocoders.
- Understanding of streaming TTS constraints (latency, chunked/incremental
