- COMPANY OVERVIEW Deepgram is the leading platform underpinning the emerging trillion-dollar Voice AI economy, providing real-time APIs for speech-to-text (STT), text-to-speech (TTS), and building production-grade voice agents at scale.
- COMPANY OPERATING RHYTHM At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.
- Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work.
- We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here.
- Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.
- Additionally, we move at the pace of AI.
- ABOUT DEEPGRAM Deepgram is the foundational AI company for voice.
- You are not building legacy dashboards; instead you are building the API-based tools, dbt models, and semantic layers that allow AI agents to navigate our data environment autonomously. KEY
- RESPONSIBILITIES - Semantic Layer Architecture: Build and maintain high-fidelity dbt and SQL models that serve as the "ground truth" for our complex, usage-based revenue models.
- - Agent Tooling & Integration: Develop the tools and permissions frameworks that allow "Analyst Agents" to query Athena, correlate Salesforce churn signals, and identify API latency issues.
- - The "Unlock Audio Intelligence" Project: Partner with the Head of Data to ingest thousands of hours of internal calls using Deepgram’s own models, turning unstructured audio into queryable insights for GTM teams.
- - Automation Obsession: Maintain a culture where manual, repetitive SQL tasks are viewed as automation bugs to be solved with code and agents. REQUIREMENTS -
- Experience: 5+ years in high-growth Data or AI Engineering roles. - AI-Native Technical Skills: Mastery of SQL and Python (production-grade) with a proven track record of building RAG or Agentic systems on top of structured data. - Usage-Based SaaS Fluency: Familiarity with the metrics of an API-first business, such as consumption patterns, gross margins, and NRR. - Builder Mindset: Comfort with "work-in-progress" infrastructure and the ability to turn messy, siloed data into high-impact business logic.
- Experience with real-time billing and consumption systems. - Contributions to open-source data or AI projects. BENEFITS & PERKS
- If you're looking to work on cutting-edge technology and make a significant impact in the AI industry, we'd love to hear from you! Deepgram is an equal opportunity employer.

- We build the models that allow machines to hear, understand, and speak to humans with zero latency.
- As we scale our usage-based economy, we are building the "Intelligence Layer"—a system of autonomous agents that monitor, reason, and act on our data to drive NRR and operational excellence.
- While the Head of Data sets the strategic "Brain" of the company, you build the nervous system.
- - Infrastructure Evolution: Serve as the technical bridge to the Engineering/Infra team to ensure our data contracts are "agent-ready" and highly reliable.
