About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Design and develop machine learning models for music generation, transformation, remixing, and creative interaction.
  • Investigate advances in generative audio, music understanding, audio representation learning, and related machine learning areas.
  • Translate research ideas and prototypes into practical, high-quality AI capabilities with engineering and music technology teams.
  • Design experiments and evaluation frameworks assessing audio quality, musicality, controllability, performance, and creative usefulness.
  • Collaborate with producers, musicians, and cross-functional teams to understand creative workflows and develop intuitive, musically meaningful tools.
  • Consider music rights, training data provenance, artist consent, and attribution throughout model development.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Advanced degree (PhD or MS) in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Audio Signal Processing, Music Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Strong foundation in machine learning, deep learning, and statistical methods, with experience developing and evaluating ML models.
  • Experience with audio or music-related machine learning, such as generative audio, music understanding, audio representation learning, source separation, or signal processing.
  • Proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks, such as PyTorch.
  • Familiarity with audio processing libraries, datasets, and evaluation techniques.
  • Ability to conduct independent applied research and translate research insights into working prototypes and real-world applications.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across technical and creative disciplines.
  • Genuine interest in music, creative tools, and the ways technology can expand musical expression.
  • Experience training, fine-tuning, or deploying generative audio or music models, including diffusion-based, autoregressive, or other neural audio architectures.
  • Experience with audio codecs, neural vocoders, audio tokenization, text-audio models, or multimodal learning.
  • Familiarity with agent frameworks and workflow orchestration tools for building multi-step AI applications.
  • Familiarity with music production workflows, DAWs, audio plugins, or creative software.
  • Experience collaborating directly with producers, musicians, or other creative professionals to develop or evaluate AI-powered tools.
  • Experience building low-latency, interactive audio systems or deploying ML models in production environments.
  • Experience designing evaluation methods for subjective qualities such as musicality, expressiveness, controllability, and creative utility.
  • Knowledge of responsible AI practices for music, including rights-aware dataset development, artist consent, data provenance, and attribution.
  • Research publications or contributions in machine learning, audio processing, generative AI, or music information retrieval.

Benefits
