About David AI

David AI is the first audio data research company . We bring an R&D approach to data–developing datasets with the same rigor AI labs bring to models.

Our mission is to bring AI into the real world , and we believe audio is the gateway. Speech is versatile, accessible, and _human_—it fits naturally into everyday life. To unlock the full potential of AI, models need more—and better—audio data. That’s where David AI comes in.

David AI was founded in 2024 by a team of former Scale AI engineers and operators. In less than a year, we’ve brought on most FAANG companies and AI labs as customers. We recently raised a $25M Series A from Tier 1 investors like Jack Altman (Alt Capital), Amplify Partners, First Round Capital, Y Combinator, and more.

Our team is sharp, humble, ambitious, and tight-knit. We’re looking for the best research, engineering, product and operations minds to join us on our mission to revolutionize audio AI.

Role And Responsibilities

As General Manager of Data Operations , you will lead one of the most critical functions at David AI. You’ll own a major slice of our Data Factory : the engine that powers high-quality, scalable data production. You'll own end-to-end success as we scale our operations to millions of hours of audio. You will :

• Report directly to the CEO, working cross-functionally with Product, Engineering and Go-To-Market teams.
• Shape our operating model, scale our infrastructure, and be accountable for performance across quality, throughput and cost.
• Manage a team of Strategy & Ops Associates and foster a culture of rigor, ownership, and bias to action.
• Build strong relationships with researchers at leading AI labs and translate their goals into concrete project plans and technical requirements.
• Spot failure points early, whether in sourcing, quality, or process, and take ownership of fixing them.
• Use metrics to track performance, prioritize work, and make decisions about where we grow and what we build next.
• You'll take accountability for outcomes across operations, product, engineering and our customers; you'll have full-stack ownership of designing systems, managing execution, solving bottlenecks and driving impact.
