Whisper Development, Accelerated with AI
Domain-Specific Accuracy Tuning
AI-assisted post-processing pipelines that correct industry terminology, proper nouns, and technical vocabulary that general Whisper models transcribe incorrectly.
Real-Time Processing
Optimized streaming architectures that process audio in real time for live captioning, voice commands, and conversational AI, with latency under 500ms.
Automated Quality Evaluation
AI benchmarks transcription accuracy against domain-specific test sets, tracking word error rate across model updates and configuration changes.
Cost-Efficient Deployment
AI tools analyze your audio volume and latency requirements to recommend the right deployment strategy: API, self-hosted GPU, or edge deployment.
What Our Whisper Developers Build
Transcription Systems
Batch and real-time audio transcription for meetings, calls, podcasts, and media. Speaker diarization, timestamps, and formatted output.
Voice Search & Commands
Voice-powered search and command interfaces for applications. Natural language understanding on top of Whisper transcription for intent extraction.
Multilingual Processing
Audio processing in 90+ languages with automatic language detection. Translation from source language to English for cross-language applications.
Meeting & Call Intelligence
Automated meeting notes, action item extraction, sentiment analysis, and summary generation from recorded or live audio streams.
Accessibility Solutions
Real-time captioning for live events, educational content, and workplace accessibility. WebVTT and SRT subtitle generation from audio.
On-Premise Deployment
Self-hosted Whisper deployments for organizations that require data to stay within their infrastructure. GPU-optimized Docker containers with API endpoints.
VETTING PIPELINE
How engineers earn a spot on our team
Every engineer goes through the same four-stage funnel. Most do not make it past stage two.
30,000+
Applications received each year
Around 15 open roles at any time, each receiving roughly 200 applications per month through LinkedIn, AngelList, employee referrals, and outbound headhunting across India. India produces 1.5 million CS graduates a year, so sourcing is not the moat. Filtering is. Most applications are auto-filtered for stack relevance, years of experience, English, and time-zone overlap before any human reviews them.
5%
Pass live coding + system design
Two-stage technical interview: a 90-minute live coding exercise tailored to the candidate's primary stack, then a system-design discussion grounded in real production scenarios.
2%
Pass project deep-dive + background verification
We ask candidates to walk through a recent production project: architecture decisions, what they would change in hindsight. We also run a background verification check through a third-party BGV agency to confirm prior employment, education, and identity.
1.2%
Complete 2-week shadow onboarding
A senior Unico Connect engineer shadows new hires for two weeks on an internal project. We watch how they respond to feedback, ask for help, and ship code. Fast learners stay.
