What you'll do

  • Design and build a low-latency, multi-participant translation pipeline and event-driven correction and broadcast system.

  • 5+ years of professional full-stack software engineering experience, including end-to-end ownership of complex real-time or streaming systems.
  • Strong backend experience with REST APIs, streaming or low-latency transport, event-driven architecture, and concurrent-session state and message routing.
  • Strong React/TypeScript frontend experience building complex, stateful real-time interfaces; experience integrating third-party platform SDKs or extension frameworks.
  • US citizenship and residence in the United States; experience with ASR/MT/NLP or latency-sensitive ML-in-the-loop systems, ambiguous 0-to-1 planning, and validation across varied customer configurations.

Nice to have

  • Experience with speech/audio pipelines, CAT tools or linguist-facing interfaces, localization/TMS workflows, or cross-platform architectures.
  • Microsoft Teams app or bot development; regulated or high-security environments; mentoring engineers and setting technical standards.
