• Work with other linguists to map the problem space of specific languages

• Diagnose language and speech failures in production calls, trace them to the responsible component, and drive the fix with the team.

• Partner with engineers to identify and solve the right linguistic problems, and contribute code to the features that power the user experience.

• Partner with product managers to work with customers, understand their use cases and linguistic challenges, and build for their success
