Job Description
Model Research Engineer
Deepslate
• Your work sits directly at the intersection of AI research and scalable software engineering. You will define how natural, fast, and reliable our models perform in production. • Research & Train: Design, train, and evaluate our proprietary deep learning models. You will drive the development of new capabilities, such as emotion recognition, and integrate them into our core architecture. • High-Performance ML Systems: Optimize our models for maximum inference speed and efficiency, ensuring they can handle massive datasets and real-time workloads at scale. • Software Engineering: Write clean, production-ready code. We need researchers who are also strong software engineers, capable of translating complex research into highly available architectures. • MLOps & Tooling: Build and maintain the internal pipelines for data processing, model training, and evaluation to make our iteration cycles fast and reliable.
Job Requirements
- Deep expertise in Python and modern deep learning frameworks (e.g., NeMo, PyTorch, or similar).
- Proven hands-on experience working on high-performance, large-scale ML systems, particularly in the context of Language Modeling (text or audio).
- A true startup mindset: You are comfortable navigating the glorious chaos of an early-stage codebase (inconsistent structures, missing docs. You name it, you’ll help fix it).
- Drive and Vision: You aren't just looking to blindly process Jira tickets. You want to actively shape the product, architect solutions, and take complete project ownership.
- We are VC-backed and growing fast. You should be highly motivated by the prospect of joining a startup at an early stage and scaling alongside us.
- Fluent German skills (spoken and written).
Benefits
- True R&D Freedom: We give you the time, resources, and trust to research and build technology that simply doesn't exist yet. You won't be optimizing wrappers around other APIs; you will be solving fundamental, uncracked challenges in Voice AI.
- Competitive Compensation: We are well-funded by top-tier VCs. We offer a highly competitive salary. We are looking for top talent, and we are ready to pay for it.
- Serious Compute: You will have access to the hardware and cloud infrastructure necessary to actually train and test large-scale models without constantly hitting bottlenecks.
- Absolute Flexibility: Fully remote work, asynchronous communication, and zero micro-management. As outlined in our "How We Work" section, we care strictly about your output and impact, not your schedule.

Company OverviewDeepgram is the leading platform underpinning the emerging trillion-dollar Voice AI economy, providing real-time APIs for speech-to-text (STT), text-to-speech (TTS), and building production-grade voice agents at scale. More than 200,000 developers and 1,300+ organizations build voice offerings that are ‘Powered by Deepgram’, including Twilio, Cloudflare, Sierra, Decagon, Vapi, Daily, Cresta, Granola, and Jack in the Box. Deepgram’s voice-native foundation models are accessed through cloud APIs or as self-hosted and on-premises software, with unmatched accuracy, low latency, and cost efficiency. Backed by a recent Series C led by leading global investors and strategic partners, Deepgram has processed over 50,000 years of audio and transcribed more than 1 trillion words. There is no organization in the world that understands voice better than Deepgram. Company Operating RhythmAt Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance. Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do. Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5. The OpportunityVoice is the most natural modality for human interaction with machines. However, current sequence modeling paradigms based on jointly scaling model and data cannot deliver voice AI capable of universal human interaction. The challenges are rooted in fundamental data problems posed by audio: real-world audio data is scarce and enormously diverse, spanning a vast space of voices, speaking styles, and acoustic conditions. Even if billions of hours of audio were accessible, its inherent high dimensionality creates computational and storage costs that make training and deployment prohibitively expensive at world scale. We believe that entirely new paradigms for audio AI are needed to overcome these challenges and make voice interaction accessible to everyone. The RoleDeepgram is currently looking for an experienced researcher to who has worked extensively with Large Language Models (LLMS) and has a deep understanding of transformer architecture to join our Research Staff.
