Staff Machine Learning Engineer, Voice AI

Together AI is building the best inference infrastructure for voice applications. Our Voice AI platform powers production-grade, real-time voice agents and applications — serving speech-to-text and text-to-speech models with best-in-class latency and reliability. We're looking for a Staff ML Engineer to drive the model serving layer for voice workloads. You'll work hands-on with inference engines like TRT-LLM and SGLang to optimize how we serve models like Whisper, Parakeet, Orpheus, and Kokoro — pushing latency and throughput to the frontier. You'll profile GPU utilization, design batching strategies for streaming audio, and ensure new model architectures can go from research to production quickly. This is a foundational hire on a small, high-impact team. Voice inference has unique challenges — streaming audio, tokenization, real-time latency budgets — that require dedicated ML engineering focus. You'll shape how Together serves voice models as the industry moves from pipeline architectures (ASR → LLM → TTS) toward end-to-end speech-to-speech. Responsibilities include owning the voice inference roadmap end-to-end, driving best-in-class inference performance, leading productionization of voice models at scale, building the voice evaluation platform, shaping the architecture for next-generation model support, serving as the technical DRI for model partner integrations, and diagnosing and resolving performance problems in the stack.
