Deepslate is hiring a Model Research Engineer (m/f/d)

Responsibilities

  • Your work sits directly at the intersection of AI research and scalable software engineering. You will define how natural, fast, and reliable our models perform in production.
  • Research & Train: Design, train, and evaluate our proprietary deep learning models. You will drive the development of new capabilities, such as emotion recognition, and integrate them into our core architecture.
  • High-Performance ML Systems: Optimize our models for maximum inference speed and efficiency, ensuring they can handle massive datasets and real-time workloads at scale.
  • Software Engineering: Write clean, production-ready code. We need researchers who are also strong software engineers, capable of translating complex research into highly available architectures.
  • MLOps & Tooling: Build and maintain the internal pipelines for data processing, model training, and evaluation to make our iteration cycles fast and reliable.

Requirements

  • Deep expertise in Python and modern deep learning frameworks (e.g., NeMo, PyTorch, or similar).
  • Proven hands-on experience working on high-performance, large-scale ML systems, particularly in the context of Language Modeling (text or audio).
  • A true startup mindset: You are comfortable navigating the glorious chaos of an early-stage codebase (inconsistent structures, missing docs. You name it, you’ll help fix it).
  • Drive and Vision: You aren't just looking to blindly process Jira tickets. You want to actively shape the product, architect solutions, and take complete project ownership. We are VC-backed and growing fast. You should be highly motivated by the prospect of joining a startup at an early stage and scaling alongside us.

Nice to Have

  • Previous experience in a fast-paced Startup or DeepTech environment.
  • Hands-on experience with audio processing, Speech-to-Text (STT), Text-to-Speech (TTS), or multimodal models.
  • Interested in experimenting with inference engines in rust in the future
  • Fluent German skills (spoken and written).

Benefits

  • True R&D Freedom: We give you the time, resources, and trust to research and build technology that simply doesn't exist yet. You won't be optimizing wrappers around other APIs; you will be solving fundamental, uncracked challenges in Voice AI.
  • Competitive Compensation: We are well-funded by top-tier VCs. We offer a highly competitive salary. We are looking for top talent, and we are ready to pay for it.
  • Serious Compute: You will have access to the hardware and cloud infrastructure necessary to actually train and test large-scale models without constantly hitting bottlenecks.
  • Absolute Flexibility: Fully remote work, asynchronous communication, and zero micro-management. As outlined in our 'How We Work' section, we care strictly about your output and impact, not your schedule.

Additional Information

  • Fluent German skills (spoken and written).
