What we do

At Doctolib, we are building AI-powered healthcare solutions that make a real difference in the lives of millions of patients and healthcare professionals every day. Our AI organization is at the heart of this mission, developing cutting-edge voice and language technologies that reduce administrative burden for doctors and improve patient care.

The Voice team sits within the Applied AI organization and powers three flagship AI products:

- Consultation Assistant - automatically transcribes and structures doctor-patient conversations to feed downstream NLP components (medical facts extraction, summarization)

- Clinical Dictation - real-time streaming dictation with medical vocabulary boosting and LLM-based post-processing

- Phone Assistant - AI-powered telephone assistance for medical practices, combining near-real-time ASR with conversational AI

Our stack includes state-of-the-art models (FastConformerCTC, Whisper, NeMo), modern inference infrastructure (Triton, Ray Serve, MLFlow), and spans multiple languages (French, German, and beyond).

Your role

We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our Voice teams. This is a high-impact leadership role that sits at the intersection of applied ML research, engineering delivery, and people management.

You will directly manage 2 teams (8 engineers) working across multiple ASR product perimeters. You will be the promoter of technical decisions for your scope and a key advocate for your teams across the organization.
