Wearable neural interfaces for hands-free computing.
Wispr is an AI research and product company building the voice interface for computing. AI can now reason, code, and act. Yet, humans still do the work of the interface. We think that’s backwards.
Our first products are Flow, which lets you speak naturally in any application, and Notetaker, which builds context across conversations. We’re building toward an interface that can perceive, understand, and take action with earned trust. That means solving hard problems across models, systems, and product - and caring about the final human experience as deeply as the technology underneath it.
We’re a talent-dense team that holds strong opinions, tests them quickly, and builds technology that sparks joy. Our goal is to build the first voice interface used every day by a billion people.
You’ll own the architecture of our macOS platform and build its screen-context engine - the foundation that helps every feature understand what is happening on a user’s screen. You’ll solve the hardest desktop systems problems and create primitives that improve Wispr's products on macOS.
Build a reliable screen-context engine for dictation, Notetaker, Instruct Mode, and future products
Set technical direction across accessibility, native integrations, memory, state, and background behavior
Solve difficult performance, correctness, and cross-application failures
Expand what Flow can understand while protecting performance and user privacy
Turn OS-specific knowledge into durable foundations other engineers can extend
You’ve designed a system or platform other engineers successfully built on
You’ve recently shipped meaningful production code for a desktop application
You debug unfamiliar systems from first principles
You’ve owned a quality or UX metric, not only a feature roadmap
You turn ambiguous technical problems into clear direction for a team
Prior experience with voice, ML, Electron, accessibility APIs, or macOS is not strictly required if you bring exceptional platform depth.
We sponsor H1B, O1, EB1, L1, STEM OPT, and more. We can't guarantee sponsorship for every role, but if we make you an offer we'll make every reasonable effort, with help from our immigration law firm.
We strongly encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification. The strongest candidates we meet rarely do, so don't exclude yourself prematurely. We're rethinking how humans interact with AI, and doing that well demands diversity of perspective and experience.
We're committed to a fair and accessible interview process. If you need any accommodations or adjustments, please let us know.
Wispr Flow designs wearable neural interfaces to control devices and access information through thought, rather than screens or manual inputs. The core product is a wearable device that detects neural signals and uses AI to translate them into actionable commands, enabling hands-free interaction with digital systems. Unlike many tech products that rely on screens or voice input, Wispr Flow aims for natural, thought-based control that can be used across consumer electronics and professional settings. The company differentiates itself by targeting everyday consumers with a brain–computer interface approach, exploring software subscriptions and partnerships to extend functionality, and potentially licensing its neural interface technology to others. Its goal is to make information access and device control feel effortless through mind-driven interactions, with applications in fields such as healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing where quick, hands-free operation matters.
