Senior/Lead Developer Relations Engineer

About the Job

Hume AI is an AI startup building the missing ingredients needed to understand and generate the 50% of communication that AI currently overlooks—speech prosody, vocal bursts, facial expression, and tone of language—which, combined with large language models, will determine how people experience the future of AI. In particular, our goal is to enable a future where technology draws on the science of human expression to better serve human goals and emotional well-being. We provide our APIs and SDKs to researchers and developers building better healthcare solutions, digital assistants, communication tools, and more. As part of our mission, we conduct groundbreaking scientific research, publish in leading scientific journals like Nature, and support a non-profit, The Hume Initiative, that has released the first concrete ethical guidelines for empathic AI (www.thehumeinitiative.org). You can learn more about us on our website (https://hume.ai/) and read about us in The Washington Post.
