Liquid AI · San Francisco, Boston or remote (hybrid) · compensation not listed (base + equity)
Adapts LFM2.5-Audio, Liquid's 1.5B-parameter model that handles speech-to-speech, ASR and TTS in one network, for enterprise customers. The core problem is voice-driven function calling: turning a spoken request into the right API call with the right parameters, then confirming it back in speech. You'd own the data generation, SFT, preference alignment and RL, and the task-specific evals. Requires hands-on LLM post-training. Speech experience is a plus, not a requirement.
