ML Engineer

Sesame
San Francisco, CA
Job Description
We're designing a new kind of computer, focused on making voice agents part of our daily lives. Join us in shaping a future where computers truly come alive.

Requirements

  • Own evaluation pipelines — design, build, and automate offline and live evals that keep our speech and multimodal models honest in production.
  • Harness the data — create tooling for safe, versioned, privacy-aware dataset curation and discovery.
  • Ship models, not slide decks — partner with research and infra to prototype, train, and deploy state-of-the-art voice models that power Sesame’s real-time companion experience.
  • Squeeze silicon — scale training and inference for LLM-class workloads; chase latency, throughput, and cost until the graphs flatten.
  • Wire up monitoring and live evals — surface quality regressions before users or PMs notice.
  • Move at startup speed — take ideas from whiteboard to production in days, not quarters; leave a clean trail of tests and dashboards behind.

Benefits

  • 401 (k) max employer match: 3.5% of compensation
  • 100% employer-paid health, vision, and dental benefits for you and your dependents
  • Unlimited PTO and sick time
  • Flexible spending account with employer matching up to $1,650/year (medical FSA)
  • Guardian Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Opportunity to share in the company's success with competitive stock options
