Careers

Help everyone write at the speed of thought.

We're a small team building a product people use every day to do their best thinking. If you care about craft, privacy and the people you build for, we'd love to meet you.

Why Wisper

Meaningful work, early.

  • A product people feel

    Wisper changes how people work minute to minute. You'll see the impact of what you ship in your users' words, often the same week.

  • Hard, interesting problems

    Real-time speech, language understanding, latency budgets measured in milliseconds, and privacy constraints that make every design decision count.

  • Founding-team ownership

    Join early enough to shape the product, the architecture and the culture, with the trust and autonomy that comes with it.

How we work

What working here is like.

Users over opinions
We settle debates by talking to the people who use Wisper.
Clarity is kindness
Direct, respectful feedback, written down, given early.
Small, sharp, shipped
We ship small improvements often rather than big ones rarely.
Privacy is non-negotiable
We build the product we'd trust with our own words.

Benefits

We take care of the people doing the work.

  • Competitive pay and equity

    Fair salaries and meaningful ownership in what we're building together.

  • Remote-first

    Work from wherever you do your best thinking, with a setup budget for your home office.

  • Flexible hours

    We care about outcomes, not online status. Protect your focus time and your evenings.

  • Health cover

    Medical insurance for you and your dependants.

  • Learning budget

    An annual budget for books, courses and conferences that help you grow.

  • Team offsites

    Time together in person to plan, build and get to know each other.
