- Watch this video to understand what we do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QoI3AmnC8g&t=207s
- You will be working directly with our founder, Tony Robinson, who has been one of the leading names in speech recognition and neural networks for decades. You will be working remotely with him and other remote interns conducting research and development work for novel machine learning based products and features in the Speechmatics portfolio, as well as helping to push them all the way into the hands of our customers.
- In this internship, you’ll be joining the team in taking the latest developments in the field of machine learning, rapidly prototyping them and then iterating on them to turn them into novel products that solve problems for our customers. These new products and features are not necessarily limited to pure speech recognition applications, though they are often somewhat related.
- Alongside technical R&D work, your team may be asked to help in increasing the profile of the company in the wider ML field and as such there may be opportunities, for example, to write up our research as papers and blogs.
- Because you will be joining a rapidly expanding team, you will need to be a team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment, in a company with a focus on rapidly moving research developments into products. We strongly encourage versatility and knowledge transfer within and across teams. You will be expected to learn fast and feel emboldened to ask for support as you need it.
