Job description

This role is remote, so it can be executed globally. However, to facilitate working with the engineering team we strongly prefer candidates on the East Coast or in Europe (New York/London/Warsaw/Berlin).

About ElevenLabs

At ElevenLabs, we are pioneering voice technology with our cutting-edge research and products.

We launched in January 2023 and have since reached over 1 million users globally and have partnered with the world’s biggest names (see customer stories). We closed our Series-C funding at a 3.3B valuation at the beginning of this year and are backed by the leading names in tech and AI (a16z, ICONIQ, NEA, Sequoia, NFDG, Salesforce, and many others).

We are at an exciting phase of our growth and innovation and are looking for ambitious people to help us further push the boundaries of voice AI. This is a rare chance to be an early member of a company on the rise. If this excites you, we want to meet you!

Who we are

A global team of passionate and innovative individuals united by curiosity and a shared goal: to be the first choice for AI audio solutions. Together, we are shaping a new technology and market from the ground up. We innovate quickly and take pride in getting things right, from the big picture initiatives to the details that keep us moving smoothly every day. We work with high autonomy and accountability where the best idea wins at any time and from anyone.

About the role

We are looking for back-end engineers to expand the functionality of our system. There is flexibility in staffing engineers on projects across the company, depending on the project, your specific responsibilities might include:

• Building and maintaining our platform on top of our cutting-edge voice models, which are used by millions of users.
• Improving our existing products to ensure that they’re intuitive, powerful and make innovative use of our research team’s latest breakthroughs. This could involve adding significant functionality, or building integrations with other common consumer/enterprise solutions.
• Maintaining and strengthening our internal infrastructure as we scale and grow to ensure that our products remain live, performant and secure.
• Collaborating closely with engineers and others from the Frontend, Growth and Sales teams to understand, and design solutions for our customers.

Who you are

We're looking for exceptional individuals who combine technical excellence with ethical awareness, who are excited by hard problems and motivated by human impact. You’ll strive with us if you:

• Are passionate about audio AI driven by a desire to make content universally accessible and breaking the frontiers of new tech.
• Are a highly motivated and driven individual with a strong work ethic. Our team is aware of this critical moment of audio AI evolution and is committed to going the extra mile to lead.
• Are analytical, efficient, and strive on solving complex challenges with a first principles mindset.
• Consistently strive for excellence, delivering high-quality work quickly and exceeding expectations.
• Take initiative and work autonomously from day one, prioritizing learning and contribution while leaving ego aside.

What you bring

We do not require any formal experience, certifications, or degrees. Instead, we are seeking enthusiastic software engineers who can showcase solving impressively hard problems with artifacts such as past projects, or GitHub contributions. We do require:

• Expertise in Python.
• A strong background in backend development.
• Familiarity with common software and system design patterns and infrastructure including APIs, cloud infrastructure tools, storage solutions, data structures etc.
• Knowledge about test design and security fundamentals.

What is nice to have:

• Experience with Kubernetes.
• Experience with Stripe or other payment processing providers.
• Basics about how AI models work.

What we offer

• High-velocity innovation: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy.
• A truly global team: Collaboration with teammates across 30+ countries, a global customer footprint and office hubs in New York, London and Warsaw. Annual company offsite for the whole team to get together (the last one in Croatia!)
• Remote first: We prioritize your talent, not your location, with structured asynchronous workflows for maximum impact and minimal meetings.
• Continuous growth: Collaborate with AI leaders, shape your path, and contribute where you excel most.
