Jobs in Bellevue, WA

About the role

Healthcare has a access problem — not enough clinicians, too many patients, and critical gaps that technology hasn't meaningfully closed. Hippocratic AI is changing that. Our safety-focused, healthcare-only LLM platform enables autonomous, clinical-grade conversations with patients at a scale no human workforce could achieve. With over $404M in funding, a $3.5B valuation, and partnerships with leading health systems, we're not iterating on existing tools — we're building a new category. As a Senior Staff Research Scientist in Speech Technologies, you'll lead the research and engineering that makes our AI not just intelligent, but genuinely conversational — accurate, fast, and trustworthy in the highest-stakes environments imaginable.

What you'll bring

• We believe the best ideas happen together.
• We're on the hunt for a great space in the Bellevue area — and when we find it, this role will be in office five days a week.
• In the meantime, you'll work fully remote with quarterly trips to our Menlo Park, CA headquarters to connect and collaborate with the team.
• PhD with 7+ years of hands-on ASR research and engineering experience, or a Master's degree with 10+ years of industry experience in speech recognition
• Deep experience designing and developing algorithms for accurate, efficient speech recognition in both streaming and non-streaming contexts
• Proven track record training and optimizing ASR models for production — balancing accuracy, latency, and compute constraints
• Experience preprocessing and curating large speech datasets for model training
• Strong Python and C++ programming skills
• Comfortable working in Linux/Unix command-line environments
• Clear communicator — you can translate complex technical work for cross-functional partners
• Hands-on experience building ASR systems from 0 to 1, including data pipelines, model architecture selection, and evaluation frameworks
• Practical experience with ESPnet, Kaldi, and PyTorch
