Description:

Dialpad's product suite covers the full range of modern business
communications needs with Dialpad Talk, Support, Sell, and UberConference. All
products are powered by VoiceAI, Dialpad's proprietary technology that helps
companies unlock conversation insights, improve productivity and drive better
performance across teams.

Who we are:
At Dialpad, we're a team of doers. A team that thinks outside the box and when
that doesn't work, we reinvent it. We don't settle for the status quo, and
neither do the things we build. Led by the same minds behind Google Voice, we
create products that get businesses talking—whether it's across the hall,
street, or country.

With $120 million in funding from ICONIQ Capital, Google Ventures, Andreessen
Horowitz, Scale Ventures and other top VC’s, Dialpad attracts top talent from
iconic companies like Microsoft and Google as well as powerhouse startups like
Hootsuite, Weebly, and Anaplan. Every member of our team plays an essential
role in creating dynamic products that don’t just combine design and mobility
but works with you wherever productivity may strike.  

As a computational linguist, you will study real conversations, looking for
ways that we could provide feedback to users so that they can have more
effective, empathetic and engaged interactions with their customers. We take
an eclectic approach, mixing insights and methods from linguistics
(Conversation Analysis, Sociolinguistics, syntax, semantics, Speech Act
Theory) with empirical methods and state-of-the-art machine learning.

A typical week might include poring over transcripts with colleagues, noticing
a recurring pattern then validating that pattern with more data, then drafting
a proposal for a new feature and then kicking off a data annotation project to
get the data you’ll be needing to train a machine-learned model.
