Company Description
Speechmatics is the leading expert in Speech Intelligence, using advanced AI and Machine Learning to unlock the value of human speech for global enterprise customers.
Job Description
You will own the full data and infrastructure layer behind Speechmatics' world-class speech models. This greenfield mandate involves building a modern ML platform from scratch to replace legacy systems while driving a complex ML data strategy. You'll bridge the gap between data engineering and production ML to accelerate model delivery.
Location
London, UK
Why this role is remarkable
- True Greenfield Mandate: You aren't maintaining a legacy stack; you'll build a modern, SaaS-based ML platform from the ground up to replace existing internal systems.
- Unique Scale Challenges: Solve the specialized data problems unique to Speech AI, managing the sourcing, validation, and storage of massive training datasets for frontier-level models.
- Strategic Ownership: Work as a core part of the ML team with the autonomy to identify friction and define the technical roadmap, rather than just executing a backlog.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You Will Do
- Design and build scalable data pipelines in Python and SQL for ingesting and transforming massive datasets, including automated web scraping and acquisition solutions.
- Develop a high-performance ML platform to train, evaluate, and serve models, optimizing for GPU utilization, job scheduling, and distributed training efficiency.
- Implement production-grade observability and troubleshooting for distributed systems to ensure the reliability and speed of the entire ML lifecycle.
The ideal candidate
- Strong background in backend or data engineering with deep proficiency in Python, SQL, and hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and major cloud providers.
- Proven experience building large-scale ETL/ELT pipelines and automated data collection systems, ideally within a high-growth speech AI or frontier model environment.
- A builder’s mindset with a solid understanding of the full ML lifecycle, from data curation and MLOps to model serving and distributed training optimization.
