As a senior member of the technical team, you will be responsible for preparing our real-time audio engine for diverse embedded platforms. You will work at the intersection of software and AI, ensuring our models run with minimal latency and maximum efficiency.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architecture & Development: Architect and write clean, efficient, and maintainable C++ code for our real-time audio engine, setting the standard for software quality within the team.
• Embedded AI Integration: Lead the integration of machine learning models developed by our ML team into our C++ codebase, specifically targeting embedded environments.
• Performance Optimization: Take ownership of profiling, debugging, and optimizing inference performance. You will drive efforts to achieve minimal latency and resource consumption on specific hardware (ARM, DSPs, NPUs).
• Technical Leadership: Collaborate closely with ML engineers and audio experts to bridge the gap between model accuracy and runtime performance. Mentor junior engineers and drive software engineering best practices, including code reviews and CI/CD pipelines.
  

To succeed in this Senior/Principal role, you must possess deep expertise in both systems programming and machine learning deployment.

• Seniority: 5+ years of professional C++ development experience, with a track record of shipping high-performant software products. For exceptional candidates, fewer years can be considered.
• Education: Master's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field.
• Scientific Computing: Significant hands-on experience with scientific computing in C++.
• Embedded Systems (Required): Proven experience developing for real-time embedded systems. You should be comfortable with memory management, concurrency, and hardware constraints.
• AI Inference (Required): Hands-on experience with AI inference in C++. You must have experience implementing or optimizing ML models (e.g., using TFLite, ONNX Runtime, or custom inference engines).
• Soft Skills: Excellent problem-solving abilities and communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical challenges to product managers and stakeholders.
  

• Impact & Autonomy: The freedom to innovate, make architectural decisions, and directly influence our products.
• Growth: A chance to grow within a leading, fast-moving AI company and shape the technical direction of the team.
• Culture: A friendly, supportive, and collaborative team culture.
• Compensation: A competitive compensation package including equity, recognizing the seniority of this role.
• Perks: Social company events and startup offices in central Oslo.
