Top AI & Machine Learning Jobs in Austin, TX

Lead and build Deepgram's AI enablement function: prototype and ship reusable agents, MCP servers, paved-road workflows, prompt and retrieval patterns, and an enablement hub. Drive company-wide AI adoption with measurable productivity metrics, embed safe-use guardrails, partner across Platform, Security, Data, and People Ops, and grow a central team and distributed champions network.

Lead end-to-end delivery of ML infrastructure and AI tooling programs, defining architecture and rollout strategies for training, serving, and monitoring. Coordinate research, engineering, product, and data teams to optimize inference cost/latency, build internal tools for experiment tracking and model versioning, and resolve bottlenecks to enable faster, scalable ML deployments.

Design and implement scalable, secure inference services for speech processing. Optimize networking, audio transcoding, latency, memory, and distributed compute orchestration. Debug complex system issues, customize backend services for customers, and partner with Product to deliver end-to-end features.

Own the research-to-production pipeline: harden training/evaluation workflows, build packaging/deployment tooling, design release gates, optimize inference and serving for latency/throughput, establish benchmarking and validation, and instrument feedback from production to accelerate research iteration.

Take Deepgram's speech models and optimize, compile, and run them on resource-constrained embedded and edge hardware. Work across model compression, runtime performance (C/C++/Rust), RTOS/bare-metal and embedded Linux environments, vendor NPUs/DSPs and inference runtimes, benchmarking, deployment pipelines, OTA updates, and partner with silicon vendors to enable real-time, low-power on-device voice experiences.
