Job description

About Wispr: Wispr Flow is making it as effortless to interact with your devices as talking to a close friend.

Today, Wispr Flow is the first voice dictation platform people use more than their keyboards because it understands you perfectly on the first try. It’s context‑aware, personalized, and works anywhere you can type, on desktop or phone. In 2026, in addition to dictation, we’re focused on building native actions—an agentic framework that understands you and works reliably. We’re a team of AI researchers, designers, growth experts, and engineers rethinking human‑computer interaction from the ground up. We value high‑agency teammates who communicate openly, obsess over users, and sweat the details. We thrive on spirited debate, truth‑seeking, and real‑world impact. We’ve grown our revenue +150% every quarter for the last four quarters and have raised $81M from Tier 1 VC firms and other well‑known angels.

About The Role

As a software engineer at Wispr, you’ll play a crucial role in building the first capable, habit‑forming voice interface that scales to a billion users. Members of our technical staff are responsible for prototyping and designing new features of our voice interface, building infrastructure to handle <500ms LLM inference for millions of requests from everywhere around the world, and scaling the personalization of our speech models and LLMs.

What You’ll Do

• Build high‑quality, tasteful product experiences across our native macOS and Windows apps, taking features from idea to shipped with strong attention to detail
• Own entire product surfaces end‑to‑end, including the UI, the underlying logic, agentic harnesses, and backend services
• Obsess over the feel of the product: latency, animations, agentic quality—the small details that separate good software from great software
• Use AI tools actively in your day‑to‑day work to move faster, prototype ideas quickly, and raise the quality of what you ship
• Contribute to product decisions, not just execution—you have a point of view on what we should build and why
• Raise the quality bar through code review, documentation, and engineering practices that the whole team benefits from

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Strong experience building native applications on macOS, Windows, or a combination— you care about platform conventions and know how to work with them
• You have high product taste: you notice when something feels off, and you know how to fix it
• Comfortable working across the stack within a product surface—you don’t stop at the UI layer if the problem goes deeper
• You move fast and ship often; you have a bias for getting real things in front of users over waiting for perfection
• You use AI coding tools fluently and have a point of view on how to get the most out of them
• Experience with performance‑sensitive UIs is a plus, as Wispr lives on top of every app a user has open and responsiveness is core to the experience
• Bonus: experience building accessibility features, system‑level integrations, or consumer products with strong user retention
