About The Position

As an ML Program Lead, you will work closely with our ML research team to define data annotation requirements and manage our team of audio engineering QAs to operationalize them and deliver audio model training datasets.

• 3+ years in program or product management, consulting, or similar experience.
• Technical foundation in CS, Engineering, or similar.

Responsibilities

• Work with ML researchers to identify and define audio events and acoustic quality issues (What counts as “muffled” audio? How do we define “robotic artifacts”?).
• Turn these definitions into actionable guidelines for our expert audio QAs to label internal audio data.
• Manage the QA team in a rapid iteration loop of labeling audio samples, getting feedback from ML researchers, and refining the annotation process to deliver high-quality training and eval sets.
• Conduct quality audits on annotation and post-processing models before they land in production.
