About Cartesia
Our mission is to architect AI that learns from and interacts with the world like humans do.
We're pioneering the model architectures that will make this possible. Our founding team met as PhDs at the Stanford AI Lab, where we invented State Space Models or SSMs, a new primitive for training efficient, large-scale foundation models. Our team combines deep expertise in model innovation and systems engineering paired with a design-minded product engineering team to build and ship cutting edge models and experiences.
We're funded by leading investors at Index Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, along with Factory, Conviction, A Star, General Catalyst, SV Angel, Databricks and others. We're fortunate to have the support of many amazing advisors, and 90+ angels across many industries, including the world's foremost experts in AI.
About the Role
On the Audio Post-Training team, you’ll be building and improving the capabilities that define how the rest of the world interacts with our generative audio models. This team is where customer needs meet research, and covers the full spectrum of modeling from ideation through productionization. On any given day, you might design evaluations to reliably measure new capabilities, build processing pipelines to improve data quality, experiment with finetuning and reinforcement learning approaches to refine model behavior, and more.
This role is broad, and cross functional. Members of this team should combine broad research experience with a deep care about building to solve for customer needs and a strong sense of end-to-end ownership. You should be excited to synthesize customer complaints into a holistic understanding of capability gaps, to drive research efforts across data, model training, and evaluation to close those gaps, and to communicate those improvements to product and customer stakeholders. Ultimately, you will be responsible for creating the model experience that the rest of the world sees.
