Member of Technical Staff — ML Infra (Data)

Nuance Labs is a research company focused on building advanced AI avatars with emotional intelligence. They are seeking a Member of Technical Staff to design and operate large-scale data pipelines for multimodal training data, ensuring high throughput and data quality.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and operate large-scale data pipelines for ingestion, processing, filtering, and curation of multimodal training data (video, audio, text)
• Take research-grade data processing code and turn it into robust, production-level pipelines — quickly and without losing correctness
• Optimize pipeline throughput and efficiency at scale; identify and eliminate bottlenecks across compute, I/O, and storage
• Build and maintain data quality systems — deduplication, filtering, validation, and quality scoring at scale
• Manage petabyte-scale datasets: storage architecture, versioning, lineage tracking, and cost efficiency
• Work closely with researchers to understand data requirements and translate them into scalable processing systems
• Build tooling and infrastructure that makes the research team faster — efficient data access, reproducible processing, and fast iteration loops
