Job Description:
Company Description We want to make talking to AIs as human as possible.
Today, the highest adoption for voice-first AI interaction is happening in telephony voice agents. But, our personal interactions with banks / medical providers (e.g. GPs) / government (e.g. HMRC) has not changed at all; it’s still the same long queue times, or IVR systems. This is because the current AI telephony voice agent stack is broken - success rates are low, it’s a slow process to get them to work reliably. And this is just in carefully crafted low-risk scenarios where call times are shorter than 2 minutes.
The problems preventing adoption can’t be solved any amount of data, and we’re re-architecting the underlying machine learning models (speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and LLMs) from the ground up to solve this.
The company was founded by Sid, one of the first 5 technical employee at Wayve.ai (which recently raised $1bn dollars), and Vatsal (who was critical in building Alexa’s first deep learning voice, and studied+taught Maths & CS at Cambridge). Our team is passionate and driven by building products that are deeply loved by the people who use them.
We’re backed by top tier US and European VCs and angels like ex-CTO of CoinBase, ex-VP of Twitter, and ex-CEO of Wayve.ai.
Requirements and Experience Senior: EITHER
Junior/mid-level:
What we offer
Interview Process We move with speed, and aim to go from first interview to offer within a week.
