About the role
About our Engineering team
At David AI, our engineers build the pipelines, platforms, and models that transform raw audio into high-signal data for leading AI labs and enterprises. We're a tight-knit team of product engineers, infrastructure specialists, and machine learning experts focused on building the world’s first audio data research company.
We move fast, own our work end-to-end, and ship to production daily. Our team designs real-time pipelines handling terabytes of speech data and deploys cutting-edge generative audio models.
About this role
As Head of Engineering, you'll be the technical backbone for our engineering team, leading execution across product, infrastructure, and AI systems. Partnering closely with the CTO, you'll co-develop the long-term technical vision and architecture, then translate it into a clear roadmap and operating cadence. You'll ensure delivery quality and nurture a collaborative, high-velocity engineering culture. This is a strategic role with broad autonomy where you'll shape how we build from day one.
In this role, you will
- Lead the design and development of core tools that help users make sense of audio data for model training, working closely with researchers to continually improve how we collect data.
- Hire, structure, and mentor the engineering team while setting and upholding high performance standards.
- Oversee the delivery of full-stack features that thousands of users interact with daily.
Build scalable data processing pipelines to extract actionable insights from terabytes of audio data every day. - Rapidly iterate on research hypotheses in partnership with the Head of Research and Head of Operations - deploying interfaces to collect new data efficiently.
