Research engineer @ Soniox d.o.o.

Opis delovnega mesta

We're looking for a Research engineer to join Soniox and help shape the future of real-time, multilingual speech and language AI. You'll work at the intersection of cutting-edge research and high-performance engineering, turning state-of-the-art models into scalable, production-grade systems used by developers and enterprises worldwide.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll move fast, solve hard problems, and help bridge the gap between AI research and practical impact. If you're excited about deploying LLMs, speech models, and real-time systems that power intelligent voice interfaces, Soniox is the place to make it happen.

Od kandidatov zahtevamo

In this role, you will:
- Turn research into reality: Deploy and optimize transformer-based models for real-time inference across speech recognition, translation, and language understanding.
- Collaborate deeply: Work alongside researchers, engineers, and product leaders to design experiments, run evaluations, and ship features that improve user experience and performance.
- Build and optimize pipelines: Develop robust training, fine-tuning, and evaluation pipelines to continuously improve model performance and scalability.
- Own the system end-to-end: From prototyping new architectures to monitoring deployed models in production, you'll be responsible for building AI that works reliably in the real world.
- Stay on the edge: Keep up with the latest advances in AI, experiment with novel techniques, and help Soniox stay ahead in accuracy, speed, and efficiency.

You might thrive in this role if you:
- Have a strong background in deep learning, NLP, or speech technologies, and experience with transformer models (LLMs, ASR, MT, etc.).
- Are proficient in PyTorch and familiar with distributed training, fine-tuning techniques (LoRA, distillation, RLHF, etc.), and inference optimization.
- Have experience working with real-time or high-throughput systems, and care deeply about latency, reliability, and performance.
- Enjoy fast-paced environments where priorities evolve, and you're comfortable owning loosely scoped problems from start to finish.
- Have a Master's or PhD in Computer Science, AI, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Bonus: Experience with ASR models, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), or conversational reasoning systems.

Kandidatom ponujamo

What we offer
- The chance to work on foundational AI that redefines how humans and machines communicate.
- Global impact: your work will touch millions (and soon billions) of people across languages and cultures.
- End-to-end ownership in a lean, engineering-driven team with no bureaucracy.
- Collaboration with world-class talent in research, engineering, and product.
- A fast-growing startup environment where you shape both the technology and the company's future.
- Competitive compensation with equity ownership.
- Flexible work setup with emphasis on in-person collaboration.
- Regular team events, offsites, and a strong learning-driven culture.

O podjetju

Soniox is building the world's most advanced real-time conversational AI platform: designed to understand every conversation, in every language, anywhere. Our technology goes beyond speech-to-text: we deliver low-latency transcription, translation, and reasoning across 60+ languages, enabling businesses and developers to build next-generation products powered by voice.

We are innovating across the full stack of foundational AI for speech: from large-scale data acquisition and unsupervised dataset generation, to novel model architectures, training methodologies, and optimized inference engines. This holistic approach gives Soniox unmatched accuracy and efficiency compared to Google, OpenAI Whisper, AWS, and others.

Our API powers a wide range of applications: from live translation and meeting assistants to healthcare, call centers, enterprise productivity, and accessibility solutions.

Soniox is a fast-growing startup backed by global enterprise partners. Our engineering and product development hub is in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and we are expanding internationally. Our mission is simple but ambitious: make voice AI work for 8 billion people.
