About the role
Sesame is building a future where computers are lifelike, with voice agents that feel natural. We're seeking an ML engineer to own evaluation pipelines, data tooling, and deployment of real-time voice models powering Sesame's companion experience. You will scale training/inference for large models, design robust metrics, and ship end-to-end solutions in a fast-paced startup environment. Collaboration with research, infra, and product is essential; strong autonomy is valued.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
