Responsibilities
• Deepgram is looking for a backend software engineer to lead the design and implementation of Deepgram’s Voice Agent product. You will design and implement secure, robust, and scalable services for speech processing; build integrations supporting telephony providers, RAG systems, and diverse deployment scenarios; engineer for testability and observability within a complex chain of AI models; and more. Your skill at building highly reusable code that overcomes technical challenges is paired with an intuition for delightful user experiences. You will be a critical voice in Deepgram’s Product and Engineering teams, driving high impact products from start to finish. • Improve Deepgram’s core inference services including areas in networking, speech processing, model orchestration, and observability • Develop integrations with cutting edge in-house, third-party, and open-source AI models for perception and managing conversational dynamics • Debug complex system issues that include networking, scheduling, and highly concurrent workloads • Rapidly customize backend services to support our customer needs • Partner with Product to design and implement new services, features, and/or products end to end • You’ll Love This Role If You • Thrive in a fast-paced, impact-driven environment where learning new skills on-the-fly is not only encouraged but a regular necessity • Enjoy balancing decisions about product and feature maturity to decide when to make minimally invasive changes versus when to incorporate detailed design work
Benefits
• Holistic health • Annual wellness stipend • Mental health support • Life, STD, LTD Income Insurance Plans • Work/life blend • Generous paid parental leave • Flexible schedule • 12 Paid US company holidays • Quarterly personal productivity stipend • One-time stipend for home office upgrades • 401(k) plan with company match • Tax Savings Programs • Continuous learning • Learning / Education stipend • Participation in talks and conferences • Employee Resource Groups • AI enablement workshops / sessions • For candidates outside of the US, we use an Employer of Record model in many countries, which means benefits are administered locally and governed by country-specific regulations. Because of this, benefits will differ by region — in some cases international employees receive benefits US employees do not, and vice versa. As we scale, we will continue to evaluate where we can create more alignment, but a 1:1 global benefits structure is not always legally or operationally possible. • Backed by prominent investors including Y Combinator, Madrona, Tiger Global, Wing VC and NVIDIA, Deepgram has raised over $215M in total funding. If you're looking to work on cutting-edge technology and make a significant impact in the AI industry, we'd love to hear from you!
