Job description

Audio is becoming one of the most important interfaces in AI, and you are building the infrastructure that makes it possible.

This company is at the center of that shift. Founded in 2024, it has already raised a $50M Series B and works with major AI labs and technology companies. The problems here are real, the scale is real, and the runway is real.

You own products end to end. Not one small piece of a larger system that someone else controls.

A lot of what you work on is zero-to-one. That means you are not inheriting a mature codebase and keeping the lights on. You are creating new products and systems from scratch, in a space that is still being defined.

Your work spans the full stack. You move comfortably across the product layer and the underlying logic, and you bring the same rigor to both. You have shipped customer-facing features before and know what it takes to get something in front of real users and keep it working at scale.

You also make the people around you better. At this level, you are not just an individual contributor. You raise the bar for how the team operates.

This is a Staff-level role. You have built and shipped at this scope before, you are comfortable operating with autonomy, and you are ready to do it again somewhere that actually matters.
