This post is mostly about how surprisingly hard it is to cut filler words out of speech cleanly. Apparently, stripping ums isn't a find and replace type thing, because Whisper's timestamps are off by up to a few hundred ms and cutting on them chops syllables or leaves stutters. So, I built a tool, erm, that starts from Whisper's guess, finds where each word actually starts and stops in the audio, and snaps the cuts to silence so there's no click, with ffmpeg doing the splicing.
EDB | Senior Software Engineer (Dev Experience and Tools) | Remote | Full Time | https://enterprisedb.com
EDB builds products and solutions based on the world’s best database, Postgres. We have many of the core Postgres contributors on staff and continuously contribute back to the open source community. We're also fully remote.
We're looking for an engineer to focus on tooling and developer experience, by building modern and Postgres dev tools with a focus on usability. These tools will be used in production, development, experimentation, and testing. This role will be especially interesting - and challenging - as we develop highly available distributed database systems of varying architectures.
We use a large mixture of languages, but Go + Python experience is preferable. Experience with C, and database internals knowledge is a huge plus, especially Postgres. Previous work with cloud architecture, specifically AWS, is also nice to have.

This role will be formally posted on our site in the next few days, I’ll reply with a comment when it's up. Until then, reach out to me directly with interest and questions:

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Tooling) to help build Postgres tools. We're working on modernizing Postgres tools, used in production, development, and testing. You would be designing and building these tools, specifically around high-availability, distributed database architectures, and deployment tooling. We have a lot of challenging projects in our backlog, and you definitely won't get bored.
We're also looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Automation) to help build Postgres automation. You would be designing and building automation and tools to ensure our Postgres solutions will work perfectly for our customers. We need to ensure that our full solutions, including components such as multiple variants of Postgres, HA and pooling, bi-directional replication, deployment tools, and more, all fully work together for customer scenarios. To reach that goal, we're building a lot of cool methods/tools to verify our products and solution architectures.
We work on a lot of fun and interesting projects. We also use a lot of Go, Python, Ansible, etc, but we're always open to adding the right tools and frameworks to our stack. The roles are 100% remote, and always will be.
These roles are directly on my team and I'm happy to answer any questions via email.
