Senior Staff Research Scientist, Speech Technologies

The Opportunity

-------------------

Healthcare has a access problem — not enough clinicians, too many patients, and critical gaps that technology hasn't meaningfully closed. Hippocratic AI is changing that. Our safety-focused, healthcare-only LLM platform enables autonomous, clinical-grade conversations with patients at a scale no human workforce could achieve. With over $404M in funding, a $3.5B valuation, and partnerships with leading health systems, we're not iterating on existing tools — we're building a new category.

At the center of that platform is voice. As a Senior Staff Research Scientist in Speech Technologies, you'll lead the research and engineering that makes our AI not just intelligent, but genuinely conversational — accurate, fast, and trustworthy in the highest-stakes environments imaginable.

What You'll Accomplish

--------------------------

• You'll define the ASR foundation for healthcare's most advanced conversational AI. From architecture selection to production deployment, you'll shape a speech recognition system built from the ground up for clinical accuracy — one that sets the standard for what's possible when safety and performance aren't trade-offs.
• You'll solve speech recognition problems that don't have off-the-shelf answers. Medical terminology, diverse patient populations, real-world acoustic conditions — you'll design and validate models that perform where general-purpose ASR falls short, pushing the frontier of what conversational AI can reliably understand.
• You'll build the data infrastructure that makes breakthrough models possible. You'll architect the pipelines and curation processes for large-scale medical speech datasets, creating the training foundation that gives Hippocratic AI a durable, compounding advantage in clinical speech recognition.
• You'll bring research into the real world at meaningful scale. You'll close the gap between state-of-the-art methods and production system...
