Job Description

toby is building live speech translation software for global teams. Meaning, we’re building a world where anyone can work with anyone regardless of language. Where global teams exist not only beyond physical borders, but beyond language barriers. We’re backed by executives at Spotify, Google Translate, Meta, AngelList, as well as Entrepreneur First and Transpose. 🗺️

We’re looking for a Fall (to start asap) intern. You’ll be working directly with the CTO, with competitive compensation, flexible hours, and flexible location (remote, SF in-person optional). This is a great opportunity to work on cutting edge AI. 🤖

We ask two things of you

1. If you apply, be committed. This means: deliver on what you promise, and promise reasonably. We’ll put a lot of trust in you. Take ownership. If you got midterms coming up, we get it, we’re not gonna make you lose sleep. Just stay committed and communicative. 🤝
2. Have a learner’s mentality. You don’t need to know everything, we’ll help you. But you have to be willing to learn. You can’t teach someone to fish if they’re afraid to brave the unfamiliar waters. 🌊

Roles

Your role will be working with the cto to train new large language models. These aren’t your typical chatgpt text models – these are all audio based. Expect that we’ll experiment with various architectures (transformer, diffusion, SSM, etc) and State-of-the-Art machine translation policies. We’ll be leveraging internal and open source data, hella gpus and your specialized knowledge to make new models for enterprise Spanish lingo, Japanese anime cadences, and/or other tailored dialects. Next step will be quantizing the models as much as possible.

Background in python, machine learning, and data processing expected.
