What this role is about

Are you passionate about improving workplace productivity through AI tools? As an early member of this 0->1 team, you will have high autonomy and ownership.  If you thrive in dynamic environments, want to shape our product and technical roadmap, and love data-driven decision making, we want to hear from you. This startup within a startup is just getting started and you will make a big impact.

What you will do

• Develop and deploy Mac, Windows, and Linux desktop applications using Typescript, C++, Swift, and AWS
• Rapidly prototype and iterate on experimental AI productivity features and voice-enabled automation tools.

• Collaborate with product and design to create and execute a vision for using Deepgram’s APIs to help knowledge workers 

This is what we will test you on

• Experience as an early start-up engineer or technical co-founder with experience building a 0->1 product
• 5+ years work experience as a software engineer
• Experience building desktop applications or iOS Apps
• Experience with AWS or similar Cloud Service Providers
• Ability to work collaboratively in a resource-constrained, fast-paced environment and adapt to changing priorities
• Eagerness to take ownership of deployed codebases
• Ability to collect success metrics and make data-driven decisions around product improvements

Nice to Have

• Experience integrating AI models into end user applications
• Experience with C++ or Swift
• Experience with desktop voice capture, Mac audio API’s, and voice API’s

Why this role isn’t for you

• You haven’t built a 0 to 1 product
• You don’t have the right amount of experience
• You need the structure and resources of a larger company to produce
• You’re not comfortable having tough product conversations

Backed by prominent investors including Y Combinator, Madrona, Tiger Global, Wing VC and NVIDIA, Deepgram has raised over $85 million in total funding after closing our Series B funding round last year. If you're looking to work on cutting-edge technology and make a significant impact in the AI industry, we'd love to hear from you!
