About David AI
David AI is the first audio data research company. We bring an R&D approach to data–developing datasets with the same rigor AI labs bring to models. Our mission is to bring AI into the real world, and we believe audio is the gateway. Speech is versatile, accessible, and human—it fits naturally into everyday life. As audio AI advances and new use cases emerge, high-quality training data is the bottleneck. This is where David AI comes in.
David AI was founded in 2024 by a team of former Scale AI engineers and operators. In less than a year, we’ve brought on most FAANG companies and AI labs as customers. We recently raised a $50M Series B from Meritech, NVIDIA, Jack Altman (Alt Capital), Amplify Partners, First Round Capital and other Tier 1 investors.
Our team is sharp, humble, ambitious, and tight-knit. We’re looking for the best research, engineering, product, and operations minds to join us on our mission to push the frontier of audio AI.
About the Growth team
The Growth team is responsible for building and maintaining David AI’s global contributor base, the foundation of our Data Factory. This includes sourcing and activating a diverse set of contributors that includes voice actors, linguists, and transcribers, so that we can meet partner demand reliably and at scale.
About the Growth Operations Lead role
As a Growth Operations Lead, you’ll own the operating model for contributor growth.
