Member of Technical Staff — Product Engineer

At Nuance Labs, the team is focused on creating photorealistic, real-time AI avatars that exhibit emotional intelligence and natural conversational abilities. Their technology enables avatars to listen, speak, and respond simultaneously with sub-500ms latency, a significant improvement over current systems. The company combines advanced research with engineering to build consumer-grade, full-duplex audiovisual systems that feel lifelike and emotionally responsive.

The Product Engineer role involves end-to-end ownership of the user experience and developer platform surrounding these AI avatars. Responsibilities include building product features across backend and UI, maintaining internal research tools, and collaborating with researchers to support studies. The engineer will also ensure smooth rollouts, scalability, and privacy-conscious user flows, working closely with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced, startup environment with minimal top-down direction.

Candidates should have a strong track record of shipping product features, solid software engineering fundamentals, and good product judgment. Experience with conversational AI, real-time media, developer tools, or research tooling is a plus. The position is onsite in Seattle, offers visa sponsorship, and emphasizes ownership and collaboration within a small, highly skilled team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of conversational AI technology.
