Wispr is building a more natural way to interact with technology with neural interfaces. We’re building a team of world-class scientists, engineers, and product designers to make that a reality.
So far, we’ve raised 14.6M from top-tier VCs like NEA and 8VC. Our angels and advisors include Chester Chipperfield (product lead for the first Apple Watch), Ben Jones (COO, CTRL-Labs), Dave Gilboa (CEO, Warby Parker), and Jose Carmena (Berkeley professor; co-CEO iota). Our founders are Stanford alums and have previously sold a company and run a team at a deep tech startup with over 100M in funding.
We’re hiring in SF Bay Area / Remote.
We value engineers who like to build products that users love. It is rare to get the opportunity to build applications from first principles. If you enjoy working on personal projects and have shipped production software, this might be the perfect role for you.
As a part of our software team, you will work closely with the co-founders to architect the platform at the intersection of generative AI and a new kind of wearable. This will involve working across the stack, iterating quickly with user feedback, and building with the singular goal of creating the best-designed human-computer interaction.
Come join us and make magic happen.
