Role Description
We are hiring a Staff Applied Audio Research Engineer to lead the development of next-generation audio models and processing pipelines at Gladia — from architecture exploration and model training to large-scale deployment. This role sits at the intersection of applied research, model engineering, and production-grade ML. It requires deep audio expertise, an experimental mindset, and hands-on experience bringing advanced models into real-world production environments.
- Research, train, and optimize models for ASR, segmentation, diarization, VAD, enhancement, etc.
- Explore and benchmark architectures such as Seq2Seq, RNNT, Transducers, Conformers, with strong attention to latency, memory, and streaming constraints.
- Drive the end-to-end lifecycle of audio models: data pipelines, training, evaluation, deployment.
- Drive improvements in latency, throughput, and accuracy.
- Improve runtime performance through quantization, pruning, fusion, batching strategies, etc.
- Collaborate with Infra, Dev and Product teams to ship robust, scalable audio ML features and influence architectural decisions across the stack, from model design to deployment.
- Maintain a structured technical watch, benchmark state-of-the-art methods, identify strategic opportunities.
- Leverage signal processing knowledge to improve feature extraction and system robustness.
- Mentor other researchers or engineers and contribute to Gladia’s R&D direction.
Qualifications
- 8 - 10+ years of experience in audio ML, applied research, or deep learning engineering with a focus on high-performance inference systems.
- Strong expertise in Python and a low-level language such as C++, Rust, or Go.
- Proven experience training and deploying deep learning models for audio or speech and deep understanding of system-level performance optimization.
- Excellent command of audio-specific architectures: RNNT, Seq2Seq, Conformers, Transducers…
- Experience with ASR toolkits (e.g., Kaldi, ESPnet, Fairseq, OpenAI Whisper).
- Hands-on experience with inference frameworks like ONNX, TorchScript, TensorRT, or Triton Inference Server.
- Hands-on experience with training at scale (multi-GPU, DDP, mixed precision, large datasets).
- Experience optimizing inference performance in production environments (latency, memory, CPU/GPU targets) and strong grasp of GPU architecture, CUDA programming, and latency/memory optimization.
- Experience in open-source-first environments.
- Strong background in digital signal and familiarity with model compression techniques and batching strategies.
- Comfortable working in a collaborative, fast-paced startup environment.
Requirements
- Contributions to open-source inference projects: vLLM, Text Generation Inference (TGI), Triton Inference Server.
Benefits
- Full remote policy with team gathering in Paris every 1.5 months or work from our amazing offices & rooftop in the heart of Paris (Sentier).
- Lunch vouchers (approx. 200€/month).
- An allowance of 360 euros/year for your sports activities.
- An allowance of 300 euros for the adaptation of your workstation.
- A health insurance (100% coverage) and a pension contract with Alan Blue for you & your family.
- Unlimited vacation policy.
