About David AI

David AI is the first audio data research company. We bring an R&D approach to data–developing datasets with the same rigor AI labs bring to models.

Our mission is to bring AI into the real world, and we believe audio is the gateway. Speech is versatile, accessible, and human—it fits naturally into everyday life. To unlock the full potential of AI, models need more—and better—audio data. That’s where David AI comes in.

David AI was founded in 2024 by a team of former Scale AI engineers and operators. In less than a year, we’ve brought on most FAANG companies and AI labs as customers, and raised $5M from First Round Capital, Y Combinator, SV Angel, and more.

Our team is sharp, humble, ambitious, and tight-knit–we love spending time together. We’re looking for the best research, engineering, product and operations minds to join us on our mission to revolutionize audio AI.

Role And Responsibilities

As a Product Engineer at David AI, you'll build cutting-edge tools that help our users make sense of the audio data they'll use to train their models, working closely with researchers to consistently iterate on how to best collect our data. You will:

• Ship full-stack features that thousands of users will interact with daily.
• Build scalable systems to create core data processing pipelines that derive actionable insights from terabytes of audio data every day.
• Build, deploy, and evaluate LLM and DSP based solutions to increase our customers’ understanding of nuanced features across our datasets.
• Iterate rapidly on our research hypotheses by working closely with researchers and our Operations team to deploy interfaces to collect new data.
• Stay up-to-date with cutting edge technologies and frameworks to apply to our current product offering across software engineering, data engineering, machine learning, and signal processing.
  
  

Who We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of product-focused full-stack engineering experience.
• Strong full-stack web development fundamentals with experience in creating rapid prototypes, as well as building solutions that scaled to many users.
• A proven track record of delivering engineering solutions that contributed value to customers.
• Experience working in a high-pace environment that constant progress was enabled by detail-oriented execution.
• Emphasis on building intuitive products and experiences that resonates with users and has built highly polished production-grade products.
• AI/ML or audio experience is not required but should be excited to learn.
  
  

Bonus points if you have

• Educational or professional experience with digital signal processing and a deep understanding of speech.
• Experience building and deploying ML models in a production environment.
