SoundHound, Inc.

Senior Software Engineer, Recognition Algorithms (C++)

Boulder, CO

Our mission is to build software that allows people to use their voice to get what they want. SoundHound’s Voice AI platform enables everything from cars to coffee machines to understand what you say and to intelligently respond. We do this by leveraging deep neural networks to build a full suite of voice technologies. Easier said than done! 

Pulling this off requires a scalable and accurate recognition engine that can run in a cost effective manner. That’s where you come in. We are looking for someone who thrives in an algorithmically intense and hands-on environment. As an engineer on the Recognition Engine team, you will collaborate with deep learning teams to research and implement production-ready recognition solutions. We are currently working on speaker recognition, speaker diarization, and end-to-end speech recognition.
