About ElevenLabs

ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology.

About ElevenLabs

ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology.
We launched in January 2023 with the first human‑like AI voice model. Today, we serve millions of users and thousands of businesses - from fast‑growing startups to large enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and Meta. Our investors are some of the world's most prominent, including Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth and Sequoia. We've raised $781M in funding and our last valuation was $22B - multiples of 11, always.

We Have Expanded From Voice Into Three Main Platforms

• ElevenAgents enables businesses to deliver seamless and intelligent customer experiences, with the integrations, testing, monitoring, and reliability necessary to deploy voice and chat agents at scale.
• ElevenCreative empowers creators and marketers to generate and edit speech, music, image, and video across 70+ languages.
• ElevenAPI gives developers access to our leading AI audio foundational models.

Everything we do is the result of the creativity and commitment of our team - builders doing the best work of their lives. We are researchers, engineers, and operators. IOI medalists and ex‑founders. If you want to work hard and create lasting positive impact, we want to hear from you.

How we work

• High-velocity: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy.
• Impact not job titles: We don’t have job titles. Instead, it’s about the impact you have. No task is above or beneath you.
• AI first: We use AI to move faster with higher‑quality results. We do this across the whole company—from engineering to growth to operations.
• Excellence everywhere: Everything we do should match the quality of our AI models.
• Global team: We prioritize your talent, not your location.

What we offer

• Innovative culture: You’ll be part of a generational opportunity to define the trajectory of AI, surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
• Growth paths: Joining ElevenLabs means joining a dynamic team with countless opportunities to drive impact - beyond your immediate role and responsibilities.
• Learning & development: ElevenLabs proactively supports professional development through an annual discretionary stipend.
• Social travel: We also provide an annual discretionary stipend to meet up with colleagues each year, however you choose.
• Annual team offsite: Each year, we bring your entire team together in a new location - past offsites have included Croatia, Italy and Cancún
• Co‑working: If you’re not located near one of our main hubs, we offer a monthly co‑working stipend.

About The Role

We are looking for a backend‑leaning full‑stack engineer to help build the next generation of Creative Agents at ElevenLabs.

Our ambition is to make agents a primary way people create across ElevenCreative. We are building systems that turn ideas into high‑quality audio, image and video, bringing models and creative tools together without requiring users to become prompting experts.

The creative agent is already live. You will join a small team shaping its capabilities and architecture, with ownership from backend systems and agent infrastructure through to the customer‑facing experience. You will help discover what works, turn experiments into reliable features, and use real customer feedback to guide what we build next.

Your Responsibilities Will Include

• Building production agents and expanding their capabilities through prompts, tool use, orchestration, new models and MCP integrations.
• Designing and operating reliable backend systems for asynchronous creative generation and long‑running tasks, with strong performance, observability, scalability and security.
• Developing shared evaluations and live quality monitoring, including model‑based assessment of image and video outputs.
• Owning features end to end, from identifying user needs and prototyping to shipping across the stack and supporting them in production, alongside product, design and engineering.

You will help shape both what the agent can do and how people use it across ElevenCreative. The work combines substantial greenfield development with improving and operating a live product.

Requirements

We care about evidence of exceptional engineering: products you have shipped, difficult problems you have solved, and systems you have owned.

We Are Looking For

• Strong backend engineering skills, experience operating production systems, and sound fundamentals in APIs, cloud infrastructure, storage and asynchronous processing.
• Hands‑on experience developing agents, with an understanding of prompts, tools, execution logic, evaluations and the challenges of reliable, secure operation.
• Evidence of independent, end‑to‑end ownership and confidence working across the stack, including frontend delivery when needed.
• Good product judgement, clear communication and enthusiasm for creative agents.

We may also consider exceptional engineers with closely relevant experience. Familiarity with HTTP, WebSockets and asynchronous workers will help you build reliable communication between services and recover from failures.

Experience with multimodal generation, creative editors, MCP, or building products in a small, fast‑moving team would be particularly valuable.

Location

This role is remote and can be executed globally. If you prefer, you can work from our offices in London, New York, San Francisco, and Warsaw.

We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability or other legally protected statuses.
