Top AI & Machine Learning Jobs in Seattle, WA

Lead end-to-end delivery of ML infrastructure and AI tooling programs, defining architecture and rollout strategies for training, serving, and monitoring. Coordinate research, engineering, product, and data teams to optimize inference cost/latency, build internal tools for experiment tracking and model versioning, and resolve bottlenecks to enable faster, scalable ML deployments.

Design and implement scalable, secure inference services for speech processing. Optimize networking, audio transcoding, latency, memory, and distributed compute orchestration. Debug complex system issues, customize backend services for customers, and partner with Product to deliver end-to-end features.

Own the research-to-production pipeline: harden training/evaluation workflows, build packaging/deployment tooling, design release gates, optimize inference and serving for latency/throughput, establish benchmarking and validation, and instrument feedback from production to accelerate research iteration.

Take Deepgram's speech models and optimize, compile, and run them on resource-constrained embedded and edge hardware. Work across model compression, runtime performance (C/C++/Rust), RTOS/bare-metal and embedded Linux environments, vendor NPUs/DSPs and inference runtimes, benchmarking, deployment pipelines, OTA updates, and partner with silicon vendors to enable real-time, low-power on-device voice experiences.

The Research Engineer will collaborate with scientists to develop and validate machine learning models for speech technologies, manage scalable training systems, and design tools for accessibility to non-technical users.
