Machine Learning Engineer, Speechmatics

There is an innovative and rewarding culture, where you have the freedom to orchestrate things on your own and share ideas. The work you complete is celebrated in virtual gatherings, 1-to-1's, conversations with your peers and in company wide meetings too- making you feel proud of your impact. For reference, several people who started out as junior members at Speechmatics are now Senior IC's, Managers or VP's.

Being surrounded by such amazing people, brings so many new opportunities to your career, from working on groundbreaking ASR, to completing different projects, learning new skills, going on courses, or just being surrounded by excellence. There's so much to learn and it's an incredibly engaging and fulfilling place to work. Everyone wants to help you succeed.

Not only is my manager incredibly supportive and motivating, I've had the opportunity to work with other leaders across the Modelling Group, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Events and the People Team, who are patient and willing to help me learn and develop; and give me encouragement when needed. It creates an amazing atmosphere, and I'm grateful to work with such inspiring people. I also like that there's honest and clear communication from the top down too.

I am able to work remotely from another country for 3 months of the year to support my partner's work commitments. Speechmatics have always been extremely flexible and accommodating to my needs.

No day - or hour - is the same! We work hard and fast, continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible for a relatively small team. The product is world-leading which helps to push creativity and innovation across all aspects of the business.

Speechmatics is growing incredibly fast which means things are constantly changing day-to-day. The size of the company means that you are given the freedom to make an impact and the responsibility to just get on with things. The company is going from strength to strength and there is real excitement and buzz around the team.

I have been with Speechmatics for just over a year and a half and joined having an agreed career path confirmed from the start. True to their word, I have been promoted and have now reached the second stage of the agreed career plan. I manage a ever-growing team, which currently stands at four.

Speechmatics creates speech recognition technology through machine learning and the current focus is understanding every voice and reducing AI Bias. It is exciting times!

We have just had a recording session with most of the female employees, to create a film for International Women's Day 2022. The main topic is #BreakTheBias, which aligns nicely with our goal of eliminating AI Bias.

Machine Learning problems are tough to solve and super rewarding when you make breakthroughs. Seeing our customers use our technologies to transform their solutions powers my day.

We are flexibly hybrid by nature and we trust and empower our team members to make the right decisions for their personal circumstances whilst supporting them with a great office environment and access to WeWork spaces.

Being in a hyper-growth business is a fabulous learning opportunity and is really the kind of place where you can get to take your talents to the next level.

Speechmatics takes pride in making everyone feel welcome and safe to bring their authentic selves to the workplace. As hiring gains traction and more people join the team, the workforce diversifies which is both great to see and to be a part of.

We have some awesome people here at Speechmatics! People who really care, enjoy the hard work, share knowledge and support others regardless of function or position in the company

Speechmatics is growing so fast in every way. People are joining the team week-on-week making for an exciting place to be and meet new faces on a regular basis.

Being at the forefront of speech recognition software development means we are constantly breaking new ground. You will be challenged every single day.

The new career progression framework gives us all a good understanding of how we can grow within the company and allows us to take control of our own development.

The people are just awesome. As opposed to some other companies with highly-intelligent and high-performing people there is a high level of empathy and emotional intelligence here. ❤️

At Speechmatics, we can work flexibly from wherever suits us best. We place a focus on employee wellbeing and the benefits and perks are really good. We live by our values, and actively encourage and enable each other to do our best work and be our best selves.

We welcome individuals from all walks of life, and value each other's stories, experiences and feelings. We believe in diversity, equity and inclusion and welcome applications for full and part-time work, job-shares and we give our employees the opportunity to join us internationally, because we support with visa and immigration requirements. We also encourage our employees to work from their home countries or holiday homes abroad for up to 4 weeks a year! A great way to re-connect with their home countries and families, or escape the weather!

We work hard, because we are committed to living by our values and contributing to the company objectives in a meaningful way. We support our employees by giving them the tools, information, support and training they need to excel. However, having a good work/life balance is really important to us.
