About the job
Join Us at Amplifier Health!
We are pioneering healthcare innovations with the world's first Large Acoustic Model (LAM), a groundbreaking foundation model that utilizes human voice to identify health conditions. This is where science fiction meets reality, and we have secured substantial funding from leading investors to establish a transformative new category in healthcare.
We are in search of a passionate AI researcher who is ready to break free from the traditional "publish or perish" mindset and focus on creating impactful intelligence that truly works in real-world applications.
The Reality of Our Work
We are entering an exhilarating phase of rapid growth. Our commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology is matched only by our dedication to saving lives at scale.
- Our team collaborates in person in San Francisco, believing that the most challenging problems are best tackled together at a whiteboard rather than through virtual meetings.
- We operate at a fast pace, quickly transitioning from hypothesis to code, training, and validation with immediate feedback.
- We enjoy our work and thrive as a close-knit team on an exciting journey, driven by our passion for what we do.
Your Mission
As part of our elite AI Research team, you will elevate the state-of-the-art in acoustic modeling. Your role will involve designing innovative architectures to extract clinical-grade biomarkers from raw audio data, not just fine-tuning existing models.
The Challenges Ahead:
- Novel Architectures: You will explore how Transformer architectures can be adapted to process complex acoustic signals and long-range dependencies.
- Biomarker Discovery: You will conduct experiments to identify specific acoustic features (such as jitter, shimmer, and respiratory rate) that correlate with health conditions, often uncovering new signals that have yet to be recognized by medical science.
- Data Efficiency: You will contribute to building a foundation model, utilizing self-supervised learning techniques to harness vast amounts of unlabeled audio data.
