Forward Deployed Engineer, Production
David AI, San Francisco
The role
We generate audio data for the world’s leading speech and audio labs. Data only matters if it makes a customer’s model measurably better, and finding out whether it does is your job. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, Production, you’ll own the loop between a customer’s model, our research team, and our data production. In a typical week you’ll run an ablation on Monday, see a signal on Tuesday, change how we collect data on Wednesday, and ship a recommendation that makes it to the customer by Friday. You’ll be shipping something on the order of days, not weeks.
This role is for someone who is equally comfortable in a codebase, translating customer requirements into how we produce data, and in the details of how we ship product features to yield data that improves our customers’ models. You’ll care about why a model regressed, and also about which recording setup, product experience, or automated QA step caused it.
