SoundHound AI believes every person should be able to interact naturally with the products around them–by simply talking. With a global reach spanning two dozen languages, we build Voice AI products with conversational intelligence for cars, restaurant ordering, and more, allowing our customers to extend their brand in new and meaningful ways.
This role requires native-level proficiency in speaking Hindi and an interest in NLU (Natural Language Understanding) but does not require prior NLU experience. You will be learning and using the most advanced technologies in the fields of Natural Language Understanding, Speech, Search, and AI, all built in-house here at SoundHound, Inc. We’ve worked hard to build a platform that enables individual developers to implement deep natural language user experiences very rapidly, often within days.
You’ll be part of a highly collaborative, internationally dispersed team. In particular, you’ll be partnering with our European team members. As such we are looking for someone who is in the Eastern time zone (EST) of Canada or Central European time zone (CET) of Germany or France. Your work will directly contribute to a revolution in how people interact with the devices around them: by speaking naturally.
In this role, you will:
- Simultaneously leverage your coding skills and your knowledge of the Hindi language
- Develop Conversational AI leveraging a powerful domain-oriented development paradigm
- Implement and scale core code base, solving both algorithmic and design challenges
- Write code that interacts with third-party API’s
- Collaborate closely with engineers working on NLU for other languages
We would love to hear from you if:
- You have excellent coding skills in C++ and at least one scripting language (Python, Perl, LUA, bash, etc.)
- You are passionate about working at the intersection of software engineering and linguistics
- You have experience designing efficient architectures, algorithms, and interfaces.
- You enjoy working on complex, open-ended challenges and improving existing solutions.
- You’re comfortable working in a Linux environment.
- You have a BS in Computer Science (or equivalent experience)
We’d be incredibly excited to hear from you if you are already familiar with voice recognition, have experience manipulating and conditioning large amounts of data, or have worked extensively with text relevance algorithms. Proficiency with additional spoken languages beyond Hindi and English is also a plus.
Here at SoundHound, diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential to who we are as a company. With a mission to build Voice AI for the world, creating a team with global perspectives is critical to our success.
