PolyAI | London/Singapore | Onsite/Remote
PolyAI is building the backend machinery to allow computers to have two-way conversations with people. If you've used Siri, you'll probably know that it's okay at handling single-sentence commands like "remind me to call Jane in 2 hours", but anything significantly more complicated - anything that requires a 2-way conversation to establish what you want - is much much more flakey and inconvenient. At PolyAI, we're building the first developer platform for making scalable, maintainable voice apps that rely on conversations, rather than just single-commands. This opens up the possibility of Alexa/Google Home skills for Deliveroo, Uber, Postmates etc that are actually convenient to use and "just work".
We think this is the first step towards a future where voice interfaces are the de facto way of carrying out small to medium sized tasks.
We're a small but fast growing team of 8 people, comprised of (really good!) NLP researchers, and software engineers with a bunch of startup experience behind us. We're healthily funded by Passion and Amadeus and pay competitively.
We're looking for:
* backend engineers
* machine learning/NLP engineers
I just want to point out that while we are currently a team of all men, we are super keen to move away from that, and regularly introspect about whether there's anything about our culture that may in any way exclude non male candidates. Additionally, we are always open to feedback about anything we might be getting wrong here.
