Full Job Description
About the role

You'll own the architecture and reliability of Wispr on Windows. You'll close its most important quality gaps, define how improvement is measured, and build foundations that make every Windows experience easier to ship correctly.

What you'll do
  • Set technical direction for Windows architecture and native integrations
  • Make onboarding, text insertion, screen context, and background behavior performant and reliable
  • Solve difficult performance and correctness failures across devices and applications
  • Define and improve the metrics that represent the Windows user experience, including activation, satisfaction, performance, retention, and support volume
  • Build reusable systems that raise quality across the Windows product


You may be a fit if
  • You've designed a client system or platform other engineers successfully built on
  • You've recently shipped meaningful production code yourself
  • You debug unfamiliar systems from first principles
  • You've owned and improved metrics that represent the user experience
  • You combine architectural judgment with attention to product quality


Deep Windows experience is a strong advantage, but not required. We care most about exceptional client-platform depth. Prior experience with voice, ML, or Electron is not required.

Get to know us
  • Our Series B
  • Advancing HCI
  • Introducing Wispr Advanced Interfaces Lab
  • Technical challenges behind Flow


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.
