Top AI & Machine Learning Jobs in Charlotte, NC

Own and grow the self-serve developer funnel from first touch to paid customer. Define and ship product changes across onboarding, console, and activation. Build instrumentation, experimentation, and business rhythms; run rapid hypotheses, measure outcomes, and collaborate with engineering, design, dev rel, marketing, sales, and analytics.

Own technical and strategic partner relationships for infrastructure platforms (silicon, cloud, edge, confidential computing). Lead onboarding, POCs, demos, deployment guidance, troubleshooting, and joint go-to-market to drive adoption and expansion of Deepgram’s voice AI on partner hardware and platforms.

Lead and build Deepgram's AI enablement function: prototype and ship reusable agents, MCP servers, paved-road workflows, prompt and retrieval patterns, and an enablement hub. Drive company-wide AI adoption with measurable productivity metrics, embed safe-use guardrails, partner across Platform, Security, Data, and People Ops, and grow a central team and distributed champions network.

Lead end-to-end delivery of ML infrastructure and AI tooling programs, defining architecture and rollout strategies for training, serving, and monitoring. Coordinate research, engineering, product, and data teams to optimize inference cost/latency, build internal tools for experiment tracking and model versioning, and resolve bottlenecks to enable faster, scalable ML deployments.

Design and implement scalable, secure inference services for speech processing. Optimize networking, audio transcoding, latency, memory, and distributed compute orchestration. Debug complex system issues, customize backend services for customers, and partner with Product to deliver end-to-end features.

Own the research-to-production pipeline: harden training/evaluation workflows, build packaging/deployment tooling, design release gates, optimize inference and serving for latency/throughput, establish benchmarking and validation, and instrument feedback from production to accelerate research iteration.

Take Deepgram's speech models and optimize, compile, and run them on resource-constrained embedded and edge hardware. Work across model compression, runtime performance (C/C++/Rust), RTOS/bare-metal and embedded Linux environments, vendor NPUs/DSPs and inference runtimes, benchmarking, deployment pipelines, OTA updates, and partner with silicon vendors to enable real-time, low-power on-device voice experiences.

Lead design and delivery of an agent-based Intelligence Layer that autonomously analyzes product, usage, and revenue data. Build AI-augmented workflows, define semantic/data contracts, leverage voice models to extract insights from audio, advise CEO/Board on unit economics and NRR, and hire a small elite analytics engineering team.

The Research Engineer will collaborate with scientists to develop and validate machine learning models for speech technologies, manage scalable training systems, and design tools for accessibility to non-technical users.

Intern will own and deliver a scoped engineering project on Deepgram's voice platform (ASR/TTS/LLM/API/SDK), ship reviewed code to staging/production, use AI in development workflows, improve a component measurably, and present results with documentation.
