About the role

Plaud Inc. is seeking senior AI researchers to join our SpeechLLM lab in San Francisco. You will help build and train large-scale audio/speech models and push the boundaries of human-AI interaction. We value hands-on experience with PyTorch or JAX, distributed training, and optimization for real-time inference. You will work across the stack from signal processing to foundation model training, collaborating with a fast-growing team.

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.
