rules for text normalization, morphological and syntactic analysis, phonetic
transcription, and prosody prediction. You will push the quality of our
technology in various languages by a smart combination of a wide range of
techniques including machine learning, automated or crowdsourced large-scale

lexical. Your responsibilities will also include occasional development of
specialized tools and metrics to achieve and measure language development
targets.

Required skills:
 - Computational linguistics or equivalent
 - Data-driven modeling, large-scale data processing, corpus analysis
techniques

 - Tools development in Python, Lua or similar high-level programming language
 - Working accurately and efficiently
 - Native standard German or French speaker.

Preferred skills:
 - Ability to understand architecture and design rationales of existing large
complex systems through targeted questions, self-study, experimentation and
reverse engineering.
 - Mathematics background, solid understanding of machine learning theory and
frameworks
 - Background on linguistic theories of syntax, morphology, prosody, phonetics
and phonology
 - Experience with one or more version control systems (e.g. Mercurial, Git)
 - Experience with a data processing and/or neural modeling framework (e.g. R,
matlab/octave, numpy, scipy, Keras, TensorFlow, ...)
 - Education: MSc or PhD degree in computational linguistics, computer
science, AI or similar
