About us

At Siena we are revolutionizing the customer service industry with the world's first autonomous AI customer service agents. We are a remote-first startup that's passionate about enabling machines to engage in delightful and empathic conversations.

Some of our values

• Customer First: It's not just about solving issues or closing deals. We're in the business of understanding our customers so well that we can anticipate their needs and blow their minds.

• Straight Talk: Communication isn't just a checkbox for us—it's our operating system. We say what we mean, mean what we say, and have no hidden agendas or sugar-coating..

• Question & Disrupt: We do things that have never been done before—not for the sake of being different but for being radically better.

• Act with Agency: We don't wait for permission or perfect conditions. We evaluate the situation, make our best call, and go for it.

• Raise the Bar: We're not just meeting standards, we're aiming for setting them.

• Fast & Fearless: We move quickly but thoughtfully, and view mistakes and failures as stepping stones, not setbacks.

• Driven by Curiosity, Fueled by Growth: We ask the questions no one else is asking, dive deep, and come out the other side better for it.

• Synergy Over Solo: We value collaboration over individual achievement. When we work together, we're unstoppable. We're not just co-workers; we're co-creators.

Benefits

🏠 The flexibility to work from anywhere. Even if it's just from the comfort of your own bed (because let's face it, who doesn't love a good WFH situation?)

💸  Competitive salary and stock options. We offer highly competitive salaries and equity, because we're building this together.

🌴 Unlimited PTO. With unlimited paid time off and a minimum of 15 days off per year, you'll have plenty of time to explore the world (or just your couch).

📖 Growth stipend. An annual budget to continue learning and expanding your horizons. It's like getting a raise without having to ask for it. We invest in you, so you can continue to invest in yourself.

At Siena, we’re not just looking for people who can do a job. We’re looking for people who want to break boundaries, create the future, and reshape industries. If that’s you, we look forward to your application.
