Hey!!  Update Your CV Like a Pro. HERE are Tips from an Experienced Recruiter

Software Engineer at AssemblyAI, Remote

We’re hiring a Software Engineer to help turn cutting-edge AI research into products our customers rely on every day. You’ll sit on a fast-paced engineering team between our research org and our Applied teams, taking new model capabilities from proof of concept to robust, well-documented APIs serving production traffic at scale.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and ship customer-facing APIs that expose new model capabilities, owning them from prototype through launch and ongoing iteration.
• Partner with researchers to productionize new techniques. For example, turning a notebook or POC into something with the latency, reliability, and ergonomics customers expect.
• Work with our customers and Applied teams to understand how users are building with our products, and feed that back into product design and research direction.
• Contribute across the stack as needed: backend services, inference infrastructure, SDKs, internal tooling.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong backend engineering experience, including building and supporting customer-facing APIs in production.
• Comfort operating with ambiguity. Research timelines and product timelines don’t always line up, and you’re energized rather than frustrated by that.
• Genuine curiosity about AI/ML. You don’t need to be a researcher, but you should want to understand what the models are doing well enough to make good engineering decisions around them.
• Strong collaboration skills. You’ll be working daily with researchers, applied engineers, and sometimes customers, people with very different contexts and priorities, and the role only works if you enjoy that.
