Cartesia Software Engineer Position

Our mission is to build the next generation of AI : ubiquitous, interactive intelligence that runs wherever you are. Today, not even the best models can continuously process and reason over a year-long stream of audio, video and text-1B text tokens, 10B audio tokens and 1T video tokens-let alone do this on-device.

We're pioneering the model architectures that will make this possible. Our founding team met as PhDs at the Stanford AI Lab, where we invented State Space Models or SSMs, a new primitive for training large-scale foundation models. Our team combines deep expertise in model innovation and systems engineering paired with a design-minded product engineering team to build and ship cutting edge models and experiences.

We're funded by leading investors at Index Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, along with Factory, Conviction, A Star, General Catalyst, SV Angel, Databricks and others. We're fortunate to have the support of many amazing advisors, and 90+ angels across many industries, including the world's foremost experts in AI.

Role Responsibilities

We're hiring a Software Engineer to advance our mission of building real-time multimodal intelligence. In this role, you'll :

  • Design and build low latency, scalable, and reliable model inference and serving stack for our cutting edge SSM foundation models
  • Work closely with our research team and product engineers to translate cutting edge research into incredible products
  • Build highly parallel, high quality data processing and evaluation infrastructure for foundation model training

You'll have significant autonomy to shape our products and directly impact how cutting-edge AI is applied across various devices and applications.

Given the scale and difficulty of problems we work on, we value strong engineering skills at Cartesia.

  • Strong engineering skills, comfortable navigating complex codebases and monorepos.
  • An eye for craft and writing clean and maintainable code.
  • You're comfortable diving into new technologies and can quickly adapt your skills to our tech stack (Go and Python on the backend, Next.js for the frontend).
  • Experience building large-scale distributed systems with high demands on performance, reliability, and observability.
  • Technical leadership with the ability to execute and deliver zero-to-one results amidst ambiguity.
  • bonus] Background in or experience working with machine learning and generative models.
  • Even if you don't meet every requirement above, we'd encourage you to apply.

    Our Culture

  • We're an in-person team based out of San Francisco. We love being in the office, hanging out together and learning from each other everyday.
  • We ship fast. All of our work is novel and cutting edge, and execution speed is paramount. We have a high bar, and we don't sacrifice quality and design along the way.
  • We support each other. We have an open and inclusive culture that's focused on giving everyone the resources they need to succeed.

  • Lunch, dinner and snacks at the office.
  • Fully covered medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees.
  • 401(k).
  • Relocation and immigration support.
  • Your own personal Yoshi.
