AssemblyAI Is Hiring a Senior Research Engineer — Fully Remote
Voice AI company AssemblyAI is looking for a senior research engineer to join its lean, fully remote team building audio models at serious scale.
AssemblyAI is one of those rare companies where the numbers are genuinely hard to ignore. With fewer than 100 people on the payroll, the company generates around $600K in annual recurring revenue per employee — placing it among the most capital-efficient AI teams anywhere. Its voice models handle over a million hours of audio every day and power more than two billion end-user experiences. Customers include names like Fireflies, Figure AI, and CallRail.
The role they're hiring for — Senior Research Engineer — sits right at the core of what the company does: building and improving best-in-class voice AI models. If you're the kind of engineer who wants to see your work actually matter rather than disappear into a large org, this setup is worth a look. The team is deliberately small, which means more ownership and less bureaucracy.
The position is fully remote with no geographic restrictions listed, which makes it a natural fit for digital nomads or remote workers who want a serious engineering role without being tied to an office. Growth-stage companies at this revenue density don't stay this size for long, so timing matters if you're interested in getting in early.
