About AudioStack 🦜

AudioStack is the world’s most powerful AI audio production infrastructure. If you are passionate about the Voice & Audio markets (think Podcasts, Spotify, Siri, Alexa, Music) and Artificial Intelligence – this is the job for you!

We are an Audio-As-A-Service, API-first Infrastructure company with the aim of democratising the way audio is produced globally. We use Artificial Intelligence and proprietary Audio Automation & Personalisation Technology to generate voices & audio at scale.

Join an ambitious company with strong international tech, voice synthesis R&D and business team made out of various nationalities.

AudioStack has the biggest selection of text-to-speech, speech-to-speech and voice-cloning solutions in the market and is constantly expanding and improving our offering to our customers. You will own the processes for evaluating, integrating and automating these processes. You’ll also take a key role in developing our product and customer analytics at AudioStack. You will be working as part of our AI/ML team collaborating closely and directly with our Machine Learning Engineers, Software Engineers and Product Owners to help take AudioStack to the next level of customer excellence.

What you will be doing?

• Testing new synthetic voice solutions from the amazing partnerships we have built
• Implementing integrations with new voice and voice cloning providers
• Embedding new voice solutions in our wider product – e.g. our search engine, voice library and AI recommendation systems
• Creating and maintaining automated end-to-end pipelines for managing the world’s best artificial voice library
• Enhancing the analytics data we collect across our product
• Extracting meaningful insights for our product owners and commercial teams
• Making insights available to the wider company via automations and dashboards

Requirements

• Strong technical background (e.g. computer science/engineering degree)
• At least 1 year of experience working in a software or data environment
• A self-starter and passionate doing high quality work

• An inquisitive mindset and a self-motivated learner
• Python 🐍 – required – our backend services are all written in python – you’ll need to have strong python fundamentals and be able to write robust, production ready code
• Git fundamentals – required – from your first week, you’ll be contributing to our code base via PRs and so need to have a good grasp of Git how to use it to work collaboratively.
• SQL – desirable – you’ll be working with our data lake and writing complex SQL queries so knowledge of SQL and experience querying real, messy, large data sets is a bonus. If you don’t have this, you’ll need to learn it in the role.
• Here are some of the tools we use in our services – any experience with them is a bonus: AWS / CircleCI / Serverless / Docker. You’ll be learning about all of these in your first three months.
