Senior Research Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 6, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 4, 2026.
Description
We built an agentic platform that helps content creators, podcasters, marketers, and major brands like Spotify, TED, NBC, Netflix, and Disney capture and create high quality audio and video content with ease.
The traditional production process is slow and never built for today's scale. Riverside's technology streamlines the entire content production process, turning real conversations into professional grade videos, podcasts, webinars, livestreams, and whatever comes next.
Quality is in everything we do, and it starts the moment people hit record together. This is where your role comes in: as a Senior Software Engineer on our Live Call team, you'll build the real-time layer that every Riverside recording runs on.

If you’re excited about shaping the future of media tech, you’ll fit right in.
On your day to day
We are looking for a brilliant and highly motivated AI Engineer with a focus on NLP to join our team that is revolutionizing how audio and video content is transcribed, analyzed, understood, and edited. You will work closely with our product and other engineering teams, as your research and development will serve as the core of the most cutting-edge features of our mobile and web applications. You will conduct research, identify trends, and explore new methodologies to enhance the performance, efficiency, and scalability of our AI systems, while leveraging the latest tech to push the boundaries of innovation in product and bring the most value to our customers.
