Nuance Labs | Multiple Engineering Roles | Seattle, WA | ONSITE | https://www.nuancelabs.ai

Nuance Labs is building the first "human foundation model" that understands and expresses human emotion in real-time across speech, facial expression, and body language. We are crossing the "uncanny valley" to create AI interactions that feel truly alive.

Our founding team comes from MIT, UW, and Oxford, with deep experience shipping AI products at Apple and Meta. We are a small, fast-moving team that values in-person collaboration in our Seattle HQ.

*We are looking for*:

Machine Learning Research Engineer: Bridge the gap between research and production. Optimize model inference (TensorRT, vLLM) and build petabyte-scale data pipelines (Ray, Dagster).

Machine Learning Infra Engineer: Own our GPU-backed serving stack, Kubernetes clusters, and orchestration layers.

Systems Engineer (Real-Time Engine): Build our core server-side runtime that synchronizes complex interaction state in real-time. High-concurrency, low-latency systems. Python/Asyncio today, transitioning to Rust.

*Why join*?

Massive ownership in a high-bar, research-heavy environment.

Work on the frontier of multimodal generative AI and real-time graphics.

Competitive equity and the chance to shape a company from the ground up.
