What it means: the chance that no one is really hiring for this job.How to read it: 60% or higher means we think this is a ghost. Lower scores are less of a worry.How we score it: age, reposts, open roles vs team size, how fast jobs close, and whether pay is listed.Fine print: an estimate from public data, not a judgment of the company.

Consulting • Logistics • Marketing

Aiphoria is a provider of AI-driven virtual employees and a proprietary platform that automates multi-channel customer-facing and back-office tasks. Its Aiphoria Pros are multilingual, multi-modal agents (voice, chat, email, calls) that handle support, sales, collections, legal, HR and marketing workflows for enterprise customers in industries such as banking, telecom and e‑commerce. The company offers cloud and on‑prem deployments, analytics and open-architecture integrations to reduce human labor, improve response times and boost customer satisfaction.

📋 Description

• Extend TTS to new languages through data collection and curation, text normalization/G2P, and model adaptation • Take new TTS architectures from research to production by improving robustness, latency, and quality, working closely with MLOps on deployment • Push existing models further through post-training, data curation, architectural improvements, and new training approaches • Build efficient audio data pipelines from speaker recording and preprocessing to model training • Design rigorous benchmarks and evaluations to determine whether new model iterations are genuinely better and why • Join a small TTS team of 2–3 ML engineers supported by a dedicated MLOps team and a data engineer

🎯 Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in speech technology with hands-on TTS experience • Hands-on experience with modern LLM-based TTS approaches (e.g., VALL-E, CosyVoice, XTTS) • Experience making TTS models production-ready: stability, robustness, and inference efficiency at the model level • Proficiency in deep learning frameworks, especially PyTorch • Understanding of modern ML fundamentals: Transformers, diffusion/flow matching, neural audio codecs, and vocoders • Understanding of streaming TTS constraints (latency, chunked/incremental generation) and how they shape model architecture choices • Knowledge of audio signal processing and the linguistic side of TTS (phonetics, text normalization) • Basic experience with speech data processing (segmentation, alignment, quality filtering) • Familiarity with TTS evaluation methods (MOS, SBS) • Strong Python skills and solid software engineering practices • Proven ability to independently explore new ideas and improve existing ML systems • BS or higher in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience • English B2+ • Experience with low-resource languages, including dataset creation and augmentation • Experience designing recording scripts and specs for TTS voice datasets • MLOps/DataOps experience, e.g., MLflow, DVC, or similar experiment tracking tools • C++ skills • Publications in speech/ML venues

🏖️ Benefits

• The team has built award-winning AI products for tech corporations — devices, voice assistants, products that are actually in the world • Cutting-edge tech stack: Speech Technologies, NLP, Generative AI (LLMs, diffusion models), voice-first agentic architecture with privacy-first and on-premises deployment • High engineering bar and real ownership — the team cares about what actually works in production, not what looks good in a demo, and you'll see the impact of your work directly • Fast career progression — a senior-heavy team and a high volume of real problems means you grow faster than you would anywhere else • Startup pace with enterprise stability — real clients, real revenue, no bureaucracy • Fully remote across Europe • 21 vacation days + public holidays + 5 sick days • Private English lessons via Preply
