Project Manager based in Toronto (or Santa Clara) to run Higgs Audio from research to release. Owns release schedule, go/no-go reviews, quality bars covering error rates, voice-cloning similarity, and latency, and the GitHub, customer, and partner issue queue. Coordinates release channels including the API, Hugging Face, GitHub, and hosting partners, and needs enough technical skill to reproduce API bugs and analyze evaluation results.
About The Role
Boson AI builds real-time speech and multimodal AI that makes talking to AI feel like talking to people. Higgs Audio is our family of foundation audio and avatar models. They generate natural speech, recognize speech in many languages, clone a voice from a short sample, detect sentiment, and give a voice a face. Higgs TTS 3, an expressive, open-weight text-to-speech model with zero-shot voice cloning, also powers Higgs VoiceOver, which brings directable AI voice-over into video editors. Customers use Higgs Audio through our API, through hosting partners such as Microsoft Foundry and Deep Infra, and as open weights. Thousands of developers already build on our open models on GitHub and Hugging Face.
We are hiring a Project Manager to run Higgs Audio from research to release. You will plan and ship its releases, hold every release to a clear quality bar, decide which issues get fixed first, keep the schedule on track, and bring what customers tell us back to the team. You will work with the researchers who train the models, the engineers who serve them, and the customers who use them.
This is a hands-on role. You don't need to train models, but you need to be technical enough to reproduce a bug against our API, read an evaluation report, listen critically to generated speech, and tell a real regression from noise. You will start as a senior individual contributor with real ownership of the Higgs Audio releases and roadmap.
The role is based at either our Santa Clara HQ or our Toronto office, on a hybrid schedule with at least three days a week in the office. Expect occasional travel between the two offices and to customers. The ability to speak multiple languages is a plus.
Boson AI is building AI that people can simply talk to. If you want to own how our speech models reach the people who use them, we'd love to hear from you. Please tell us about releases or products you have shipped and the part you played in them.
