About the role

Multi-turn conversations are where every chatbot falls apart. The user says "Book me a flight to Paris next Tuesday," then "Actually, make it Wednesday," then "And add a hotel near the Eiffel Tower." Three turns in, the system needs to track flight destination (Paris), departure date (updated to Wednesday), and a new hotel request with location constraint — all without losing context or confusing slots from different intents. Our dialogue state tracker maintains a structured representation of the conversation that evolves with each user turn. It handles slot corrections, multi-intent turns, implicit references ("the same hotel chain as last time"), and context carryover across topic switches. You'll advance the state tracking architecture, pushing accuracy from 89% joint goal accuracy to 95%+ on our benchmark. The conversational AI team is seven engineers. You'll be the senior researcher-engineer who defines the state tracking architecture, designs the evaluation methodology, and bridges the gap between published dialogue research and production deployment. We publish results and encourage conference contributions.

Fully remote.
