AI can now reason, code, and act. Yet, humans still do the work of the interface. [We think that’s backwards.](https://wisprflow.ai/post/the-master-plan) Our first products are Flow, which lets you speak naturally in any application, and Notetaker, which builds context across conversations. We’re building toward an interface that can perceive, understand, and take action with earned trust. That means solving hard problems across models, systems, and product - and caring about the final human experience as deeply as the technology underneath it. We’re a talent-dense team that holds strong opinions, tests them quickly, and builds technology that sparks joy. Our goal is to build the first voice interface used every day by a billion people. ## ABOUT THE ROLE You’ll own the systems that help Wispr engineers build, test, and ship confidently as we scale. You’ll improve CI/CD, testing environments, and local development workflows, and make agentic coding tools more effective in everyday engineering. Your work will give teams faster, more trustworthy feedback and remove friction across our client and backend codebases. ## WHAT YOU’LL DO - Build and operate fast, reliable CI/CD pipelines, improving build times, failure diagnostics, and release workflows - Create isolated, reproducible environments for testing onboarding, dictation, Notetaker, and other core experiences - Make local setup, testing, and debugging straightforward, with consistent behavior across development and CI - Improve the environments, context, and tooling that help coding agents make changes and verify their work - Find recurring sources of engineering friction and measure improvements in feedback time, reliability, and manual effort ## YOU MAY BE A FIT IF - You’ve built and operated developer tooling, CI/CD systems, or internal platforms at a hyper-scaling company that other engineers relied on - You’ve made complex build, test, or development workflows faster and more dependable - You debug problems across application code, infrastructure, and development environments - You use agentic coding tools deeply and have clear ideas about how to improve their effectiveness - You work closely with engineers to understand their needs and build tools they choose to use - You take ownership from identifying a problem through shipping, adoption, and ongoing reliability Prior experience in voice, ML, or our exact toolchain is not required. ## GET TO KNOW US - [Our operating principles](https://wisprflow.ai/post/our-operating-principles) - [Our Series B](https://wisprflow.ai/post/series-b) - [Advancing HCI](https://wisprflow.ai/post/advancing-hci) - [Introducing Wispr Advanced Interfaces Lab](https://wisprflow.ai/post/wispr-labs) Logistics We sponsor H1B, O1, EB1, L1, STEM OPT, and more. We can't guarantee sponsorship for every role, but if we make you an offer we'll make every reasonable effort, with help from our immigration law firm. We strongly encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification. The strongest candidates we meet rarely do, so don't exclude yourself prematurely. We're rethinking how humans interact with AI, and doing that well demands diversity of perspective and experience. We're committed to a fair and accessible interview process. If you need any accommodations or adjustments, please let us know. ## About Wispr Flow ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Wispr Flow develops voice-to-text AI technology that lets users dictate content naturally across applications, aiming to replace keyboards with voice for faster, more effortless communication. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A – II) - **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States - **Founded**: 2021 - **Founders**: Not publicly available ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: AI-powered voice interface / voice dictation - **Target customers**: B2C (individuals) and B2B (teams, lawyers, accessibility users) - **Mission**: “Make interacting with your devices as effortless as talking to a close friend” and “create a world where people enjoy more clarity, connection, and agency – with less screen time, context-switching, and cognitive overload.” ## Products & Services - **[Flow](https://wisprflow.ai/)**: A consumer voice dictation platform that works across Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android. It transcribes speech 4× faster than typing, includes AI auto-edits (removes filler words, formats text), supports 100+ languages, and learns a personal dictionary. Available as a free 14-day trial. - **Flow for Teams**: Adds snippet libraries, voice shortcuts, and team‑wide settings. - **Flow for Lawyers**: Tailored formatting and legal‑specific commands. - **Flow for Accessibility**: Designed to help users who cannot rely on traditional input methods. ## Market Standing - **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding raised – **$81.6M** (latest round: Series A – II, raised $25M) - **Notable Investors**: Notable Capital, Menlo Ventures, Activate, Flight Fund, Peak XV Partners, plus 31 other institutional investors. Individual backers include Rakesh Mathur (CEO, Superhuman), Rahul Vohra (CEO, Superhuman), Fred Ehrsam (Founder, Coinbase), and others. - **Growth Signals**: “Flow became the first consumer voice dictation platform that makes people want to use voice more than their keyboards.” The product is already available on four platforms, supports 100+ languages, and the company has filed 9 patents (e.g., silent speech interaction systems). Headcount is estimated at over 200 employees [cbinsights.com](https://www.cbinsights.com/company/wispr). ## Competitive Advantages - Works **across any application** (native on Mac, Windows, iOS, Android) – not locked to a single app. - **AI auto-edits** turn rambled speech into clean, formatted text without manual correction. - **4× faster than typing** and supports a personal dictionary that learns unique words. - Strong **patent portfolio** covering natural language processing, computational linguistics, and silent speech. ## Strategic Focus - Rethinking the fundamental layer of computing: moving from screen‑first to **voice‑first** interfaces. - Expanding from dictation into broader voice‑based interaction tools (e.g., silent speech, AI commands). - Building a platform that is both **useful** (trustworthy) and **ubiquitous** (available everywhere). ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Values include “unreasonably ambitious and self‑improving,” “kind and direct,” “truth seeking,” “opinionated about simplicity,” and “tuned into emotion.” The team is described as designers, AI researchers, and engineers who want to “have fun” while building ambitious products. - **Work environment**: HQ in San Francisco, but **open to remote**. Visa‑friendly and relocation assistance available. - **Perks**: Health/dental/vision insurance, unlimited PTO (encouraged to take days off), generous parental leave, visa assistance, 401k match, commuter benefits, relocation assistance. - **Engineering culture**: Focus on first‑principles thinking, simplicity, and delight. “Don’t see a role that fits?
