Research scientist

About the role

At Soniox, we’re building the most advanced real-time speech AI infrastructure in the world — and we’re looking for Research scientists who want to push the boundaries of what’s possible in machine learning.

As a Research scientist at Soniox, you’ll drive cutting-edge research and translate new ideas into models that power real-world applications — from live multilingual translation to voice-driven reasoning. You’ll work in close collaboration with engineers and product teams to ensure that research breakthroughs make it into production, fast.

In this role, you will:

• Develop novel machine learning methods, especially in deep learning, speech, and language modeling.
• Own and pursue ambitious research agendas from initial idea to working system.
• Collaborate across the organization to align scientific exploration with product needs.
• Publish high-quality work internally or externally, as appropriate, and contribute to the broader AI community.
• Build scalable, high-performance implementations that run in real-time environments.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have a strong track record of impactful ML research, including first-author publications or open-source projects.
• Combine theoretical insight with practical implementation and evaluation skills.
• Can independently identify promising research directions and drive them forward.
• Are motivated by real-world impact, not just benchmarks or papers.
• Care about the implications of AI and want to build technology that empowers people.

Why Soniox

You’ll help build one of the most technically advanced AI platforms in the world — and shape how it reaches and supports users globally.

You’ll work directly with a world-class team of engineers and researchers solving frontier problems in speech and language AI.

You'll have a voice in how our company grows, how our customers succeed, and how AI transforms human communication.
