Do you want to work with speech technology in an international team—and help develop the next generation of text-to-speech voices?
ReadSpeaker continues to grow, and we are now looking for a Computational Linguist to join our TTS (Text to Speech) team in Uppsala. If your interests are at the crossroads of Computer Science and Linguistics, this is an ideal opportunity for you.
We are looking for someone curious, driven, eager to learn, and who thrives in a humble, collaborative team where we support each other and have fun together.
About the Role
As a Computational Linguist, you will be part of an experienced and international team with colleagues in Sweden, the Netherlands, and Australia. The team in Uppsala consists of eleven people with diverse backgrounds, personalities, and language skills—but with one thing in common: we enjoy working closely together.
Your focus will be on working with our language engines, the basis of our text-to-speech voices. You will learn to maintain existing language engines as well as develop new ones.
You will also learn the various tasks of the voice development process. You will receive a thorough onboarding and hands-on training from day one, supported by the team.
We are looking for someone who wants to grow into the role, take on more responsibility over time, and contribute to the development of more languages and voices at ReadSpeaker.

Collect and process linguistic data
Apply your knowledge in regex, Python and C/C++ in your everyday work
Continuously assure and improve the quality of our language processing engines
Other tasks might include:

Contribute to concrete development projects from the start
Learn various tools, systems, and methods within speech and language technology
Gradually take on more responsibility as you develop in the role
We belive you are someone who:
Is interested in and curious about both language and technology
Learns new things quickly
Is motivated and eager to develop
Is humble and not afraid to ask questions
Is open and enjoys close collaboration
Contributes to a positive team atmosphere
To succeed in the role, you need:
Experience in object oriented programming (Java, C/C++)
Knowledge in regex and Python
Experience of development or other projects involving programming (regardless if it is within the Computational Linguistic field or not)
Basic knowledge of NLP and an interest in Linguistics
Professional working proficiency in English
EU citizenship
It is also meritorious if you have:
An education in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, Linguistics and/or Phonetics
Experience of other Computational Linguistic disciplines, e.g. SEO or machine translation
Fluency in any of the following languages: Dutch, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Arabic, Baltic languages, or Slavic languages
Employment details
Location: Central Uppsala, at least 3 days/week on-site
Start date: As agreed upon
Scope: Full-time
