ABOUT WISPR

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. https://wisprflow.ai/post/the-master-plan

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.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You’ll own the foundations that make Wispr's products reliable on Android. You’ll solve platform-specific problems, improve observability, and turn a fragmented device ecosystem into durable systems the broader mobile team can build on.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Own reliability and performance across Android versions and device manufacturers
  • Find systemic failure modes and build durable fixes
  • Improve observability, diagnostics, and operational feedback loops
  • Evolve the architecture and shared foundations behind Flow on Android
  • Set the foundation for the next set of Wispr product experiences on Android

YOU MAY BE A FIT IF

  • You have deep, recent experience building production Android applications or platforms
  • You deeply understand the Android platform and ecosystem
  • You have solved hard technical problems related to device fragmentation and manufacturer-specific behavior
  • You think in systems and solve problems at their root
  • You understand what it looks like to chase 99.99%+ reliability, and have driven improvements through instrumentation, testing, or diagnostics
  • You’re comfortable serving as a primary Android specialist on a small team

Experience with voice, machine learning, or iOS is helpful but not required.

LOGISTICS

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.
