Audio Systems Embedded Software Engineer (DSP/ Machine Learning)

Ready to work at the intersection of embedded systems, audio processing, and AI in a true 01 product environment?

We’re an early-stage, well-funded technology company building a next-generation intelligent hardware product, combining edge devices with cloud-based AI. Backed by experienced founders with a strong track record of building and scaling successful companies, this is a rare opportunity to shape a product from the ground up.

Audio is a critical part of the product roadmap — with significant potential to unlock deeper data intelligence than traditional video-based systems — and we’re looking for an engineer to take ownership of this space end-to-end.

Why Join

  • Work on a greenfield product at an early stage
  • Own a core product pillar (audio + AI) from day one
  • Collaborate across embedded, cloud, and ML teams
  • High autonomy in a low-ego, high-performance environment
  • Competitive salary + equity
  • Strong long-term growth and learning opportunities

The Role

You’ll take full ownership of the audio subsystem, spanning real-time embedded processing through to cloud-based audio pipelines and ML integration.

This role sits between embedded engineering and backend/AI — ideal for someone who enjoys both low-level systems and higher-level software.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and build end-to-end audio pipelines (edge cloud)
  • Implement and optimise DSP components (e.g. filtering, noise suppression, VAD)
  • Develop audio processing systems under real-time and resource constraints
  • Build tools for analysis, testing, and performance evaluation
  • Collaborate with ML engineers to enable audio-driven intelligence
  • Debug and improve system performance across the full stack

About You

  • 0-3 years’ experience in software engineering, embedded systems, or audio/ML
  • Strong academic background (top university preferred, A grades at A-Level

Experience in the following would be advantageous but not essential

  • Coding skills (C/C++ and/or Python)
  • Understanding of audio processing / DSP fundamentals
  • Interest or experience in Audio ML, signal processing, or real-time systems
  • Comfortable working across hardware and software boundaries
  • Strong problem-solving ability and curiosity

Nice to Have

  • Experience with audio codecs, streaming, or real-time systems
  • Exposure to PyTorch / TensorFlow or ML pipelines
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS or similar)
  • Hardware exposure (e.g. embedded systems, sensors, or low-level interfaces)

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary (flexible based on experience) + equity
  • Visa sponsorship available (international candidates welcome)
  • In-person, highly collaborative working environment
  • Opportunity to shape a core product capability in a scaling startup
