Build integrated speech application systems and perform evaluations
Follow and lead new research trends related to end-to-end speech modeling

At ASAPP, we’re on a mission to build transformative machine learning-powered products that push the boundaries of artificial intelligence and customer experience. We focus on solving complex, data-rich problems — the kind where there are huge systemic inefficiencies and where a real solution will have a significant economic impact. Our CX performance platform uses machine learning across both voice and digital engagement channels to augment and automate human work, radically increasing productivity and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of customer experience teams.

If you’re interested in our mission and being at the forefront of the speech recognition industry, we encourage you to apply and join our Language Technology group. As an ASAPP Speech Scientist on the Speech Modeling Team, you’ll be building and elevating our state of the art speech recognition system for conversational speech. You’ll make progress and collaborate closely alongside a talented team of Researchers, Scientists and Engineers. You will all advance the state of Speech Science, publish your work and continually establish ASAPP as a first class research institution. We’ve recently had three papers accepted to ICASSP 2023!

This position can be located in Mountain View or NYC.
