Job description

About Wispr

We're building the first voice interface a billion people use every day.

Our first product, Flow, lets you talk instead of type anywhere on your computer or phone, and turns messy speech into polished text that is ready to send. It's scaled from $2M → $50M in ARR in under 12 months with millions of users and thousands of enterprise customers. How we think

The team is still small enough that every person shapes what gets built.

About the Role

As a android engineer at Wispr, you'll be the core team member responsible for building Wispr's Android voice interface from scratch, improving the core Flow voice dictation experience, and prototyping and shipping our new voice interface features. You'll get to design floating overlay UI/UX and integrate tightly with accessibility APIs.

What are we looking for?

• Previous founding or startup experience

• Fluency in Kotlin, shipped multiple Android apps to large userbases

• User-focused design intuition and design taste

• Attention to detail and eagerness to learn

• Aptitude and clarity of thought

• Creativity, excellence in engineering, and code velocity

Required Knowledge/Skills, Education, And Experience

• Built personal projects or contributed to open source in Kotlin

• Incredible attention to detail on design and animations

• Care towards code quality and UX

• Strong programming practices and high-throughput of code across the stack

• Outstanding team player and communicator

Logistics

Location. About 60% of the team is in San Francisco and the rest are remote, mostly US-based.

• If you're in SF: you'll be in the office most days. We think the best work happens in person. Most of the team is here five days a week, and a few do three or four days depending on family or long commutes.

• If you're remote: we're open to remote for some roles. We fly remote teammates to SF for three to four days a month.

Visa sponsorship. We sponsor visas: H1B, O1, EB1, L1, STEM + OPT, and more. We can't successfully sponsor for every role and every candidate, but if we make you an offer we'll make every reasonable effort, and we retain an immigration law firm to help.

What we offer

We're a small, focused team that cares deeply about the quality of our work and the people we do it with. Here's what you can expect:

• Equity on employee-friendly terms, including extended exercise windows and a combination of ISOs and RSUs. Ask us for more details!
• Health, dental and vision. We cover 100% of the premium on the Anthem Blue Cross Gold PPO, and 75% of premiums for dependents. (US only)
• 401(k) with up to a 4% match. (US only)
• Flexible time off and company holidays.
• All meals in the office, plus commuter benefits and relocation reimbursement if you’re moving to San Francisco.
• A high-spec laptop, monitor, and a whisper-friendly microphone.
• Regular team events and off-sites.
• 16 weeks of paid parental leave (12 weeks for non-birthing parent). The early days with a new baby matter more than anything we're doing here, and we want you to be present for them.

We are committed to ensuring a fair and accessible interview process. If you need any accommodations or adjustments, please let us know.
