Job Description
- Lead algorithm feasibility research for "moonshot" audio initiatives—specifically Superhuman Hearing—operating outside the gravitational pull of immediate product timelines.
- Architect first-principles algorithms that bridge the gap between theoretical research and validated prototypes, proving feasibility before scaling.
- Adopt an impact-first philosophy, prioritizing massive user differentiation and maintaining the agility to pivot when technical paths do not yield high-order breakthroughs.
- Foster a "shielded but connected" environment, protecting the team's research velocity while providing strategic technical guidance to core execution teams on future-decade challenges.
- Collaborate as a founding technical pillar alongside a small group of researchers (including principal-level leadership) to define the foundational elements of next-generation agentic audio.
