Design Engineer

At Wispr Flow, we're building voice intelligence that truly understands you. Our team of designers, AI researchers, and engineers is crafting voice interfaces that are both useful and ubiquitous, paving the way for a future where voice-first experiences replace screen-first technologies.

Our first product, Wispr Flow, has become the first consumer voice dictation platform to break the keyboard barrier: making people use voice more than their keyboards.

Wispr Flow is looking for an experienced design engineer to take ownership of building new features and product lines that set a new standard for user experience. If you like solving new problems, having deep ownership, and thrive on building performant, visually striking applications, this role is for you.

• High agency: Take initiative to solve problems that you see. We make decisions quickly, and disagree and commit to move forward as a team.
• Open communication: Lean into debate, discussion, and uncomfortable conversations. We maintain integrity and say the things that are hard to say because we trust one another and assume other people have good intentions.
• User obsessed: Design technology that makes people's experience more natural and seamless. We really care about building an exceptional user experience.
• Detail-focused: Exceptional outcomes come from exceptional attention to detail - down to every interaction and every pixel.

• Design for delight: Develop sleek and intuitive user interfaces for Wispr Flow’s evolving technologies & products
• Ship features end-to-end: Scope and lead technical projects from conception to deployment
• Own the product vision: Define and drive the product strategy across web and desktop, ensuring excellence in performance and usability
• Collaborate across teams: Work closely with the founders and designers to push the boundaries of what’s possible
• Build for scale: Architect fast, reliable, and scalable back-end systems that handle massive audiences effortlessly.

• Knowledgeable about design patterns & strong intuition for UI / UX flows
• Take pride in getting the details right and operate from empathy
• Passionate about prototyping and creating accessible experiences
• Have a voracious and intrinsic desire to learn and fill in missing skills
• Thrive in a customer-focused, tight-knit and cross-functional environment
• Expertise in TypeScript / JavaScript (2+ years)
• Familiar with the quirks and qualities of CSS
• Love to build (we don’t have requirements for any academic degree)
• Experience in any of the following will make you stand out: Electron, Redux, Webpack, NextJS, Figma, AWS, FastAPI, CI/CD pipelines, ML deployments, async programming, low-level systems

• Creative freedom: Experiment, innovate, and define the user experience
• High-velocity innovation: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy
• End-to-end ownership: Lead all product initiatives from concept to massive scale
• Flexible & remote-friendly: We trust you to manage your time and projects effectively
• Top-tier team: Collaborate with some of the brightest minds in AI, engineering, and design

We've raised $56M from top-tier VCs like Menlo Ventures, NEA, 8VC, and Neo. Our angels and advisors include Chester Chipperfield (launched the first Apple Watch), Arash Ferdowsi (CTO, Dropbox), and Will Ahmed (CEO, Whoop). 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 take care of our full-time employees: 

• Generous health, dental, and vision coverage

• Generous parental leave, unlimited PTO (we encourage taking days off!)
