About the role

  • AI Engineer specializing in training audio and multimodal models for AI safety. Work at White Circle, focusing on production-ready solutions for AI systems.

Responsibilities

  • Train and fine-tune large-scale audio and multimodal models from scratch and from pretrained checkpoints
  • Design and run experiments: architecture changes, data mixes, training recipes
  • Build and maintain audio data pipelines — from raw recordings to training-ready datasets
  • Optimize models for production: quantization, distillation, streaming inference
  • Deploy models end-to-end: from research checkpoint to low-latency serving
  • Collaborate with research to turn experimental ideas into shippable features
  • Define evaluation metrics and benchmarks that actually matter for the product

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience training large-scale deep learning models in audio, speech, or acoustic domains
  • Strong hands-on experience with PyTorch, distributed training (DeepSpeed, FSDP, or similar)
  • Familiarity with audio/speech architectures (Audio Qwen, Whisper, HuBERT, Conformer, or similar)
  • Experience with vision-language and multimodal architectures (Audio Flamingo, Omni Qwen, or similar)
  • Track record of shipping models to production: you've hit latency targets, not just accuracy benchmarks
  • Comfortable working with large-scale audio data pipelines: preprocessing, augmentation, dataset curation
  • Understanding of audio signal processing fundamentals: spectrograms, mel features, noise reduction
  • Experience with SFT, DPO, GRPO or other alignment techniques — ideally in multimodal setting
  • Strong engineering fundamentals: clean code, version control, testing, documentation

Benefits

  • 20 days of paid vacation
  • Work from Paris (hybrid) + relocation package
  • Best medical insurance in France
  • All the hardware, tools, and services you need
  • Covered subscriptions for AI agents and IDEs
  • Team off-sites twice a year: we’ve recently been to the Alps and to Saint-Tropez
