Research Scientist-Voice and Audio Ai

This is a research-driven, high-impact role for ML researchers who want to push the boundaries of real-time AI. As a Founding Machine Learning Research Engineer at Retell, you'll focus on advancing model capabilities for human-like voice agents operating in complex, real-world environments.

You'll explore new approaches across LLMs and audio models, design novel evaluation methods, and prototype systems that improve reasoning, latency, and conversational quality. Your work will directly influence production systems, bridging cutting-edge research with real-world deployment.

If you're excited about solving open-ended ML problems, experimenting rapidly, and shaping how voice AI systems think and perform, this is a unique opportunity to do so at scale.
