Sizzle is an exciting new startup that’s changing the world of gaming.  At Sizzle, we’re building AI to automate gaming highlights, directly from Twitch and YouTube streams. We’re looking for a superstar engineer that is well versed with AI and audio technologies around audio detection, speech-to-text, interpretation, and sentiment analysis.  

You will be responsible for:

• Developing audio algorithms to detect key moments within popular online games, such as:
• Streamer speaking, shouting, etc.
• Gunfire, explosions, and other in-game audio events
• Speech-to-text and sentiment analysis of the streamer’s narration
• Leveraging baseline technologies such as TensorFlow and others -- and building models on top of them
• Building neural network architectures for audio analysis as it pertains to popular games
• Specifying exact requirements for training data sets, and working with analysts to create the data sets
• Training final models, including techniques such as transfer learning, data augmentation, etc. to optimize models for use in a production environment
• Working with back-end engineers to get all of the detection algorithms into production, to automate the highlight creation

You should have the following qualities:

• Solid understanding of AI frameworks and algorithms, especially pertaining to audio analysis, speech-to-text, sentiment analysis, and natural language processing
• Experience using Python, TensorFlow and other AI tools
• Demonstrated understanding of various algorithms for audio analysis, such as CNNs, LSTM for natural language processing, and others
• Nice to have: some familiarity with AI-based audio analysis including sentiment analysis
• Familiarity with AWS environments
• Excited about working in a fast-changing startup environment
• Willingness to learn rapidly on the job, try different things, and deliver results
• Ideally a gamer or someone interested in watching gaming content online

Skills:

Machine Learning, Audio Analysis, Sentiment Analysis, Speech-To-Text, Natural Language Processing, Neural Networks, TensorFlow, OpenCV, AWS, Python
