Job Location: California, USA Web Address: http://www.voxify.com Job Rank: Speech Application Analyst Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Telephone/Speech Applications Description: Designing the perfect speech application is always a work in progress. A Speech Application Analyst at Voxify believes in just that and strives for it. The Analyst looks for opportunities to improve our Natural Language and Directed-dialog Applications using the data logged by them. The Analyst is primarily the responsible team member charged with analyzing the data and making new implementation recommendations. We are looking for highly trained performers with a natural flair for quantitative analysis and a deep interest in linguistics to find the point of maximal performance for an application. If you have a degree in Computational Linguistics, Linguistics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science or a related field, this is an amazing opportunity to actually apply your training and improve the lives of millions of people. The work, we promise, will challenge you to be creative and think up new ways to analyze data constantly. You will design experiments, run them and add new perspective to the analysis and the recommendations. You will be using the cutting edge Voxify-Analytics framework and other industry leading analytical tools to analyze the speech applications. As a part of the industry-leading speech application design and analytics team, you will also have the opportunity to contribute towards the next generation of the Voxify-Analytics framework, currently in development. Besides analyzing our speech applications and improving our Analytics framework, you will also have the opportunity to carry out independent research, which forms a big part of the success of our speech applications. Any programming proficiency or scripting skills will be a big plus and can make all the difference. We are looking for Analysts who are very detail-oriented and have a very good track record of following through. The fun of the work continues even after the analysis is completed. The analyst is then expected to present and review the findings with internal teams and then to client stakeholders. We are therefore looking for individuals who thrive in public roles and love presenting their work. In fact, a typical day for the Speech Application Analyst might start with a quick run of Voxify-Analytics on one of our apps, followed by a call with one of our high-profile clients presenting analytical data, followed by a presentation to the executive team on how you positively impacted an application and a client relationship. So, if you think you have the drive and passion for analysis and speech, email us your resume right away to the address provided. We are interviewing candidates now!
