From Together AI's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Together AI is building the best inference infrastructure for voice applications. Our Voice AI platform powers production-grade, real-time voice agents and applications — serving speech-to-text and text-to-speech models with best-in-class latency and reliability.
We're looking for a Staff ML Engineer to drive the model serving layer for voice workloads. You'll work hands-on with inference engines like TRT-LLM and SGLang to optimize how we serve models like Whisper, Parakeet, Orpheus, and Kokoro — pushing latency and throughput to the frontier. You'll profile GPU utilization, design batching strategies for streaming audio, and ensure new model architectures can go from research to production quickly.
This is a foundational hire on a small, high-impact team. Voice inference has unique challenges — streaming audio, tokenization, real-time latency budgets — that require dedicated ML engineering focus. You'll shape how Together serves voice models as the industry moves from pipeline architectures (ASR → LLM → TTS) toward end-to-end speech-to-speech.
Own the model serving stack that powers Together's voice platform across STT, TTS, and speech-to-speech.
Work directly with state-of-the-art accelerators (H100s, H200s, B200s) to optimize voice model inference.
Collaborate with model partners (Cartesia, Deepgram, Rime, and others) to bring their models to production on Together's infrastructure.
Build quality evaluation frameworks that guide model selection for customers and inform the roadmap.
Join a small, early-stage team with outsized impact on a fast-growing product area.
Together AI, the AI Native Cloud, is purpose-built for AI engineers. AI application developers get high-performance inference that scales reliably, fine-tuning and reinforcement learning for creating frontier-level specialized models, and pre-training at massive scale for fully custom intelligence, all around a marketplace of leading open models that teams can run, adapt, and own. Trusted by Cursor, Decagon, ElevenLabs, Salesforce, and Zoom, Together serves 400+ trillion tokens a month.
Compensation
We offer competitive compensation, startup equity, health insurance and other competitive benefits. The US base salary range for this full-time position is: $220,000 - $280,000 + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by location, level and role. Individual compensation will be determined by experience, skills, and job-related knowledge.
