Android Engineer (Kotlin)

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 android engineer to take ownership of building and own our Android product that sets 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.

• Build Wispr's Android voice dictation and voice assistant experience
• Iterate fast with user feedback to build sticky experiences
• Setup best engineering practices (testing, abstractions, design docs)
• 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 mobile, ensuring excellence in performance and usability
• Collaborate across teams: Work closely with the founders and designers to push the boundaries of what’s possible

• Built full-stack Android applications in Kotlin (send your best)
• Kotlin aficionado
• Care towards code quality and UX
• Strong programming practices and high-throughput of code across the stack
• Outstanding team player and communicator

• Experience with  Jetpack Compose for layout-free floating overlay UIs
• Experience with Accessibility Services on Android
• Experience with audio applications
• Launched consumer apps before
• Design experience
• Low level systems hacking experience, parallel programming experience

We've raised $26M from top-tier VCs like 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!)

• Visa assistance

• 401k match

• Commuter benefits

• Relocation assistance
