Proficient coding Go, Python and/or C/C++
-
Experienced in developing enterprise software products
-
Versatile and interested in the full software stack, from APIs to algorithms to build and deployment scripts

Job responsibilities:
The primary responsibility for this position will be to extend and improve Diatheke, our dialog product for building voice user interfaces (VUIs) like smart assistants, and use Diatheke to solve challenging problems for specific customer projects. This product brings together nearly the whole suite of Cobalt capabilities, from ASR to NLU to TTS, so this is an important, collaborative role.
Development is primarily in Go, using gRPC and protobufs to communicate with microservices written in Go or C++. Prior experience with Go is not required as long as you can demonstrate proficiency in learning a new language.
Experience with VUIs is a plus, but also not required. What's required is eagerness to learn and push the edges of what's possible in this rapidly developing area.
