Lead Architect _ Intelligent Voice Assistant Systems

Location: Flexible | Remote-FirstRole Type: Full-Time | Founding Team PositionAre you excited about creating the next wave of intelligent, voice-enabled systems? We’re looking for a forward-thinking technologist to help define the architecture of an advanced Virtual Personal Assistant (VPA) platform—one built where natural conversation, on-device performance, and cutting-edge AI meet. What You’ll Be BuildingYou’ll guide the full architectural vision for a modern VPA—think SIRI’s concept, but rebuilt with today’s most powerful technologies. Expect to work on a blend of local and cloud inference, high-accuracy speech recognition systems, and deep integration across Apple hardware and software. Core Tech StackDevices & Platforms: iPhone, iPad, Mac Mini M4 ProKey Technologies & Frameworks:Apple Development Tools (Swift, Core ML)LangGraph for agent orchestrationLarge Language Models (LLMs)Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)ASR frameworks: OpenAI Whisper, Meta Wave2Vec-BERTHugging Face exporters and Swift-based transformer toolingAccent-adaptive tuning and speech personalizationPyTorch, JAX, RayDistributed data pipelines with Beam, Spark, Dask, and Ray Your ResponsibilitiesArchitect and enhance a hybrid cloud/on-device system optimized for real-time assistant performanceDevelop scalable, privacy-centric ASR and LLM workflows for natural language understandingTune transformer models for Apple-native deployment using Core ML and associated toolingDrive inclusive, multilingual, and accent-resilient voice experiencesWork closely with a small, passionate team of engineers, designers, and product thinkers Ideal CandidateYou might thrive here if you:Have experience designing large, complex AI systems and delivering production-level voice interfacesBring 3 years of hands-on work in AI/ML, particularly in Automatic Speech RecognitionAre comfortable with open-source ML ecosystems like PyTorch, JAX, and RayUnderstand distributed processing tools such as Beam, Spark, Dask, or RayAre proficient in multiple programming languages (C , Python, Java preferred)Enjoy experimenting—whether quickly prototyping or drafting detailed architectural plansCare about accessibility, user experience, and creating fair voice interactions across accents and languages Why You’ll Love Working With UsThis isn’t just another software project—it’s a chance to redefine what personalized, voice-driven AI can become. As a founding member, you’ll help build a system that listens, adapts, and responds in the most human-centered way possible.And here’s a unique perk: you’ll get the opportunity to travel to the Eastern Caribbean—on us—to field-test the product in a beautiful, tropical environment. Innovation meets island energy.
