Job Description:

At Hume AI, we are dedicated to building a developer platform that empowers creators to integrate empathic AI into their applications. Our platform offers cutting-edge tools and APIs that enable developers to create AI-driven solutions that understand and respond to human emotions. By joining our team, you'll be part of a mission to revolutionize how technology interacts with humans, making it more intuitive, empathetic, and impactful.About UsHume AI is dedicated to building artificial intelligence that is directly optimized for human well-being. We raised a Series B funding round at the beginning of the year and just launched the beta of our next flagship AI model, EVI 2, a foundational audio-language model that drives an empathic AI assistant for any application.Our models understand subtle tones of voice, word emphasis, facial expression, and more, along with the reactions of listeners. These behaviors reveal our preferences-whether we find things interesting or boring; satisfying or frustrating; funny, eloquent, or dubious. We call learning from these signals "reinforcement learning from human expression" (RLHE). AI models trained with RLHE can serve as better question answerers, copywriters, tutors, call center agents, and more, even in text-only interfaces.Our goal is to enable a future in which technology draws on an understanding of human emotional expression to better serve human goals. As part of our mission, we also conduct groundbreaking scientific research, publish in leading scientific journals like Nature, and support a non-profit, The Hume Initiative, that has released the first concrete ethical guidelines for empathic AI (www.thehumeinitiative.org).
