  • Are passionate about safe & broadly accessible AI in audio

  • Are a strong communicator who is able to explain technical concepts to non-technical partners and is interested in working with a wide range of cross-functional teams

  • Are a highly motivated and driven individual with a strong work ethic, including willingness to work nights and weekend as needed

  • Strive for excellence in every aspect of work, consistently taking ownership of your outcomes and overdelivering on goals.

  • Have a humble attitude and are eager to learn whatever it might take to help your team and our customers succeed.

What you bring

  • 6+ years in progressively senior software engineering roles, including at least some spent in trust and safety, integrity or AI safety teams

  • Strong experience in Python, including asynchronous Python. Proven track record of building production Python applications.

  • Experience/proven track record with: Building backend safety infrastructure & tooling; designing, implementing, and iterating on ML/AI models to detect, monitor and enforce on abusive content; machine learning frameworks such as Pytorch

  • Experience and/or interest in applying generative AI to increase moderation efficiency

  • Experience and/or interest in designing and implementing AI provenance tools

  • Experience with SQL and data analysis tools; familiarity with React would be useful

Strong candidates will also have a mix of experience in:

  • Setting up and maintaining production backend services and data pipelines.

  • Designing and implementing trust and safety operational flows (ie flagging, actioning, recording)

  • Experience mentoring and leading technical teams

What we offer

At ElevenLabs, our biggest reward is shaping the future of voice technology. In addition, we offer:

  • Competitive compensation package including stock options; we want you to have ownership in the company and share the successes that lie ahead. That’s why we offer early employees stock options as part of their compensation package.

  • Remote-first; we look at who you are rather than where you live. We currently have offices in NYC, London, and Warsaw.

  • Huge impact; you will be responsible for designing industry-leading solutions in AI safety in one of the world’s most exciting AI startups.

  • Extraordinary team; we favor ambitious, smart people striving for outsized impact. You’ll work on the state of the art surrounded by people with extraordinary skills and positive attitudes.

  • Annual company off-sites; previous locations included Croatia, Portugal and Switzerland.

This role is remote, so it can be executed globally. However, to facilitate working with the engineering team we prefer candidates on the East Coast (US) or in Europe (NY/London/Warsaw/Berlin).
