## Job description

Alpharun is an applied AI company that helps leading enterprises hire and train their frontline teams. Our platform fully automates candidate assessments and ongoing performance monitoring, enabling companies to build high-performing teams at scale.

As an Applied AI Engineer, you'll join an extremely talented and hard-working engineering team to build best-in-class, AI-first software experiences for enterprise customers. You'll have broad exposure to AI technical and product challenges while contributing to the rapid growth of an early-stage startup. This is a demanding but rewarding role with a high level of autonomy and responsibility.

Why join:

- Team: We're a tight-knit, ambitious team working in-office 5 days a week in San Francisco. We're well-funded by exceptional investors and operators and are scaling quickly. Our founders, [Paul](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pdornier/) and [Henry Dornier](https://www.linkedin.com/in/henrydornier/), are twins and second-time founders that previously sold their first company before leading product, engineering, and marketing teams at Front.
- Rapid growth: We launched in December, and our customers have already used Alpharun to hire and train tens of thousands of employees in 20+ countries.
- Culture: We have an extremely high talent bar and expect a lot from everyone, because exceptional outcomes require exceptional commitment. But we also have a lot of fun — there's nothing more rewarding and fulfilling than building amazing products alongside an awesome team.

This role is intense but immensely rewarding — perfect for someone with ambition, a bias towards action, and who thrives on rapid learning and growth.

We’ll be most excited if you have:

- Experience building AI-first products and driving business outcomes.
- A track record of getting things done in roles with high levels of ambiguity and accountability.
- Extreme ambition and high expectations of yourself and the team you work with.

If you don’t perfectly meet every qualification but resonate deeply with our mission and ethos, we strongly encourage you to apply — we value aptitude and ambition above all.

We offer competitive compensation and meaningful equity. We believe every early team member will be a major contributor to our company’s long term success, and our equity compensation is designed to recognize this.

## About alpharun.com

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Alpharun provides AI-powered sales coaching and voice agents for insurance, financial services, and healthcare, helping turn every rep into the best rep.
- **Entity Type**: Private (early-stage startup, funding details not publicly disclosed)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: Not publicly available (likely 2020‑2022 based on earliest social post in search results from 2024)
- **Founders**: Paul Dornier (Co-Founder) and Henry Dornier (Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: AI Sales Coaching & Voice Agents (Software Development)
- **Target customers**: B2B enterprises in regulated industries — insurance, financial services, and healthcare
- **Mission or purpose statement**: “Turn every rep into your best rep.” (as stated on website and LinkedIn)

## Products & Services
- **[Alpharun Platform]**: AI-powered sales coaching that automatically analyzes customer calls, identifies best-rep behaviors, and teaches them to the whole team. Includes monitoring, signals, automations, and playbooks.
- **[Alpharun Voice Agents]**: AI voice agents for customer interactions in regulated sectors (insurance, financial services, healthcare).
- **[Alpharun Automations]**: Lets users describe anything to monitor across calls; Alpharun notifies and takes action.
- **[Alpharun Deep Research]**: Ask a question and get a verified answer based on all past customer conversations, eliminating days of manual review.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total employees: 7 (monthly growth +14.3%); monthly website visits: ~57,788 (yearly traffic growth +295.8%)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Won Twilio’s 2024 AI Startup Searchlight Awards; no lead investors publicly named
- **Growth Signals**: Recent launches of Automations and Autonomous Sales Coaching (2025‑2026); high traffic growth (+295.8% YoY); expanding workforce (+14.3% monthly); hiring for multiple roles (Mid-Market AE, Enterprise AE, Applied AI Engineer, etc.)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Vertical focus on regulated industries** (insurance, financial services, healthcare) — a deep moat in compliance-heavy markets
- **AI‑first architecture** with native voice agents, automations, and deep research — differentiated from legacy sales coaching tools
- **Extremely small, tight‑knit team** enabling outsized ownership and direct collaboration with founders

## Strategic Focus
- Scaling AI automations and voice agents to automate repetitive coaching tasks
- Expanding enterprise customer base in insurance, financial services, and healthcare
- Building out go‑to‑market functions (Strategy & Operations, Growth, Enterprise Sales)
- Deepening product integration with customer call data to provide real‑time actionable insights

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: High autonomy, rapid skill growth, and “founding”‑level ownership for early employees. Described as demanding but rewarding with an “extremely high talent bar” and “exceptional commitment.”
- **Work policy**: Five days per week in‑office at San Francisco HQ (2261 Market St, Suite 10079). Remote flexibility is not available.
- **Perks**: Competitive compensation and meaningful equity for early team members. Hands‑on exposure to applied AI, voice agents, and real customer environments in regulated industries.
- **Team size**: 7 employees — very early‑stage, so risk of change fatigue and pivot fatigue (company pivoted from recruiting platform to sales coaching). Candidates should verify funding and workload stability during interviews.
