Job Description

Location: Flexible | Remote-Friendly
Type: Full-Time | Founding Team Opportunity

Are you passionate about building the next generation of intelligent, voice-first systems? We’re searching for a visionary technologist to shape the architecture of an advanced Virtual Personal Assistant (VPA) platform—one that lives at the intersection of human conversation, on-device performance, and AI excellence.

What You’ll Build

You’ll lead the end-to-end design of a VPA system that draws inspiration from SIRI—but reimagined with the best of today’s tools and frameworks. This includes hybrid local/cloud processing, advanced speech-to-text modeling, and seamless Apple ecosystem integration.

Tech Stack Highlights

Platforms & Hardware: iPhone, iPad, Mac Mini M4 Pro
Key Tools & Frameworks:

Apple Dev Tools (Swift, Core ML)
LangGraph Agent Orchestration
Large Language Models (LLMs)
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
ASR Technologies: OpenAI Whisper, Meta’s Wave2vec-BERT
Hugging Face Exporters & Swift Transformers
Accent-aware Tuning and Speech Customization
PyTorch, Jax, Ray
Distributed Data Processing: Beam, Spark, Dask, Ray

Responsibilities

Define and evolve the cloud/local hybrid architecture for real-time assistant performance
Build scalable, privacy-focused ASR and LLM pipelines for natural language understanding
Optimize transformer models for Core ML deployment using Apple-native workflows
Champion inclusive and multilingual voice experiences, including accent tuning strategies
Collaborate with a tight-knit team of designers, engineers, and product visionaries

You Might Be a Fit If...

You’ve architected complex AI systems and shipped production-grade voice interfaces
You bring 3+ years of experience in AI/ML, with a strong focus in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
You possess working knowledge of open-source ML tools like PyTorch, Jax, and Ray
You understand distributed data processing frameworks such as Beam, Spark, Dask, and Ray
You’re fluent in multiple high-level programming languages—ideally including C++, Java, and Python
You’re a bold experimenter—equally comfortable prototyping as you are writing architecture specs
You care deeply about user experience, accessibility, and voice equity across languages and accents

Why Join Us
This isn’t just another app—it’s an opportunity to push the boundaries of what personalized, speech-driven AI can be. As a core member of our team, you'll help lay the foundation for technology that listens, learns, and adapts to people in the most human ways possible. And here's a bonus: you'll have the chance to travel to the Eastern Caribbean—on us—to test drive our product in paradise. Innovation meets island vibes
