ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a high-impact, 20-hour contract role for an engineer passionate about building real-time, multimodal AI systems. You’ll design and optimize pipelines that fuse speech, vision, and large language models into seamless, reactive systems. Your work will help bring AI to life — enabling experiences measured in milliseconds, not minutes.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Architect ultra-low-latency AI systems integrating speech-to-text, language models, text-to-speech, and computer vision
Develop real-time streaming and inference pipelines using WebRTC, websockets, and gRPC
Design and integrate conversational flows with grounding, emotional tone, and memory
Deploy and optimize GPU workloads at scale using Docker, Kubernetes, and Triton
Train, fine-tune, and optimize AI models across speech, vision, and transformer domains
Develop retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines and multi-agent orchestration
Write clean, modular, production-grade code that ships fast and scales elegantly
Collaborate cross-functionally to build living, interactive AI products
QUALIFICATIONS
Expertise in speech AI, including streaming STT/TTS pipelines and latency tuning
Experience integrating LLMs for conversational AI, prompt design, and guardrails
Strong background in real-time engineering: WebRTC, sockets, gRPC, GPU streaming
Proficiency in computer vision frameworks such as YOLO, SAM, and object tracking
Hands-on experience with AI orchestration tools such as LangChain, Langflow, or CrewAI
Advanced skills in ML infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, cloud GPU optimization)
Fluency in Python (PyTorch/TensorFlow), TypeScript/Node, FastAPI, and API design
Strong systems-thinking mindset — able to design agents that act, not just respond
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience with model quantization, distillation, or Triton inference servers
Edge deployment expertise (Jetson, ARM, mobile models)
Background in audio DSP, emotion recognition, or prosody modeling
Experience building agent “personality engines” or affective AI systems
CONTRACT DETAILS
Part-time contract: approximately 20 hours per week
Duration: Ongoing
Work arrangement: Remote
WHY THIS ROLE
This is not a maintenance role — it’s invent-the-product territory. You’ll have the chance to define the next interface of computing, helping to build AI that feels alive and responsive. If you’ve dreamed of creating real-time agents, multimodal copilots, or embodied intelligence, this is your opportunity to turn that vision into reality.
