Who'd have thought that two decades later Recurrent Neural Nets
would return to become the dominant means of doing Speech
Recognition.<br>

MACHINE LEARNING & SPEECH RECOGNITION DEVELOPERS<br>
<br>
Location: Cambridge, UK<br>
Contact: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:careers@speechmatics.com">careers@speechmatics.com</a><br>
<br>
Background:<br>
<br>
Speechmatics provides some of the world’s fastest and most accurate
speech recognition technologies, based in the cloud (SaaS). We are
a Cambridge-based company that started commercialisation last summer
and already support several large customers as well as many small
companies. We are expanding rapidly and are seeking another 10-15
people in the coming months. This is an opportunity to join a high
growth team and form a major part of its future direction.<br>
<br>
The Opportunity:<br>
<br>
We are creating ground-breaking technologies in the fields of
machine learning, big data and speech recognition and as a result
are looking for several machine learning & speech recognition
developers. Your role will be to develop disruptive technologies in
one of the following main speech recognition areas: decoding,
acoustic modelling and language modelling. You will spend the
majority of your time developing and improving one of these areas as
well as collaborating closely with other team members to build large
scale systems. Much of our work is cutting-edge research thus we
are seeking individuals who are motivated by developing disruptive
and novel approaches to machine learning and speech recognition.
This role offers challenges across a wide variety of projects and
responsibilities, including the opportunity to influence the
direction of the business.<br>
<br>
Qualification:<br>
<br>
To succeed in this role, you must be a strong programmer and
creative problem-solver who thrives in fast-paced environment. Your
background is a numerical degree (2.1 minimum) and ideally practical
experience in either big data, machine learning and/ or automatic
speech<br>
recognition. You should also have some of the following skills:<br>
<br>
Essential:<br>
<br>
* Strong programming skills in at least Python or C/ C++, additional
languages a bonus<br>
* Excellent academic record of achievement, having achieved a 2.1 or
above in Computer Science or other similar technical/ scientific
discipline<br>
* Strong Linux scripting skills<br>
* Theoretical Machine learning knowledge (with at least basic
knowledge of modern ASR)<br>
<br>
Desired:<br>
<br>
* Experience with building machine learning libraries<br>
* Experience building and training neural networks (RNN/ DNN/ LSTM)<br>
* Experience with Kaldi, HTK or similar<br>
* Experience writing efficient CUDA code<br>
* Ability to implement low level code optimisations<br>
<br>
Preferable:<br>
<br>
* Implemented ASR on Android and/or iOS or experience programming
smartphones<br>
* Knowledge of WFST / lattice processing algorithms<br>
* Worked with reverberant and noise robust speech recognition<br>
* Implemented diarisation and/or speaker identification<br>
<br>
We are building platform technology and therefore are challenged
continually by the new uses that our customers are finding for it.
The ability to take up a new challenge, quickly turn it around using
an automated/machine learning solution and to personally learn from
the experience is core to our team culture.<br>
<br>
Salary:<br>
<br>
We offer a competitive salary, bonus scheme and a generous EMI share
option scheme.<br>
