Build the Future of Conversational AI with ConnexAI
As a Speech Data Engineer, your work will power the data behind real-time speech systems used by millions worldwide, ensuring our AI learns from clean, accurate, and reliable datasets. By curating, analysing, and engineering the voice data that fuels our models, you’ll help shape products that transform how people and businesses communicate.
You’ll be part of the team that manages and scales our massive speech corpora, builds automated pipelines for cleaning and validation, and works closely with annotation and Machine Learning teams to keep our models at the cutting edge.
This is a pivotal moment for ConnexAI as we expand our speech technology capabilities and push the boundaries of conversational intelligence. Join us and be part of the team setting the industry standard.
Core Responsibilities
Organise and maintain large-scale audio and text corpora, ensuring they are versioned correctly, catalogued, and easy to retrieve.
Build automated pipelines using
Python
,
AWS
, and
Docker
to clean, validate, and standardise speech data, detecting duplicates, transcription inconsistencies, or quality issues.
Develop and integrate
APIs
to streamline ingestion and processing of new datasets.
Analyse speech datasets to support ASR and TTS model development, performance evaluation, and linguistic research.
Implement and manage
data version control tools
to ensure dataset reproducibility and traceability.
Contribute to evaluation frameworks for ASR and TTS performance by analysing metrics such as Word Error Rate (
WER
), Speaker Similarity (
SSim
), and Mean Opinion Score (
MOS
) to generate data-driven insights.
Document data processes and tools, ensuring all datasets and analyses are well-documented, reproducible, and compliant with internal standards.
Collaborate closely with data scientists, ML engineers, and product teams to identify opportunities to improve data quality, balance, and diversity through targeted analysis and feedback loops.
