Job Description:
You will lead the technical development of a real-time conversational video interface, bridging the gap between human and machine communication. This hands-on role involves optimizing multimodal models for low latency, multilingual support, and natural interaction. You will collaborate with research teams to integrate state-of-the-art simulations into production-ready software for global enterprise applications.

Location: San Francisco, USA

• Experience a high-impact environment where you can shape architecture and ship features that reach millions of users across multiple languages.

What you will do:

• Own the delivery of core features including voice localization, sentence endpointing, and naturalness optimization for real-time video.

• Partner with research teams to integrate sophisticated multimodal models into a reliable, high-uptime production codebase.

• Optimize system performance by centralizing inter-process communication and shaving latency off utterance turn-taking for smoother conversations.

The ideal candidate:

• Expert in Python with extensive experience in asynchronous frameworks, multiprocessing, and low-level system concepts.

• Proven track record of shipping polished, reliable software in ambiguous, fast-paced environments where the state-of-the-art evolves rapidly.

• Strong communicator who can simplify complex technical concepts and has experience with LLM frameworks or WebRTC video streaming.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
