About Meeno
Backed by Sequoia Capital, AI Fund & NEA, and founded by the former CEO of Tinder, Meeno helps people build real-world social courage through voice-based practice: 1-minute scenes, instant scoring, and personalized feedback.
Not a dating app. Not a companion. Not therapy. IRL reps to help Gen Z meet people IRL.
What You'll Do
Own the technical foundation of Meeno end-to-end: Web + mobile + backend + data + experimentation
Co-design product vision in close partnership with Meeno’s team:
Renate Nyborg, founder/CEO (former Tinder CEO, ex Apple/Headspace)
Josh Knox, product lead (founder of Outright, brand and content expert)
Andrew Ng, Chairman (AI Fund, founder of Coursera/Google Brain)
Build core AI product primitives:
Voice capture/playbackLow-latency interactions
Scene framework (content + branching + scoring hooks)
Feedback loops and user progression
Personalization
Architect for speed + iteration (weekly experiments, not quarterly releases).
Set the engineering bar:
Quality, reliability, security/privacy, and shipping culture.
Hire and mentor engineers as we scale:
Focus on quality over quantity, leveraging AI and talent to scale while staying lean.
What We're Looking For
Strong builder who has shipped consumer products.
Comfortable with ambiguity and moving fast without breaking the soul of the product.
