Hume AI is at the forefront of developing emotionally intelligent AI systems, having recently launched EVI 2, a foundational audio-language model powering empathic AI assistants. The company, fresh from a Series B funding round, is dedicated to building AI that understands human emotional expressions including voice tones, word emphasis, and facial expressions to better serve human goals.
As an AI Engineer + Writer, you'll play a crucial role in bridging technical development with clear communication. The position combines software engineering expertise with technical writing, focusing on creating and editing developer documentation, API guides, and broader technical content. This unique role requires someone who can understand complex AI systems and effectively communicate their implementation and possibilities.
The company's groundbreaking work includes publishing in prestigious journals like Nature and supporting The Hume Initiative, which established the first concrete ethical guidelines for empathic AI. Their technology employs "reinforcement learning from human expression" (RLHE) to create AI models that can better serve as question answerers, copywriters, tutors, and call center agents.
This role offers an opportunity to shape the future of AI interfaces while working with cutting-edge technology in emotional intelligence. The position provides flexibility with remote work options and competitive compensation ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 annually. You'll be joining a mission-driven company focused on ensuring AI alignment with human values, arguably one of the most important challenges of our time.
