PlayAI is at the forefront of generative voice and conversational LLMs. With our Speech Synthesis and Voice Cloning models, we are building SOTA conversational AI products.
We are building a platform and infrastructure for Conversational AI Voice Agents so that every business, developer, or tinkerer can easily build talking human-like AI agents and use them to serve their customers; this will unlock massive value for the world and a lot of happiness for people using these delightful agents.
We joined YC last year in the YC W23 batch. Since then, we have raised $20m in seed funding and seen significant growth in users and revenue (20x the last two years).
We believe that credentials, years of experience, and familiarity with various tech stacks pale in comparison to a deep, internal drive to create delightful products. If you don’t (yet) know how the app router in Next.js works - that’s fine. But if you’re okay leaving a small UI bug in production over a weekend - please don’t apply.
Our non-negotiable core values are:
Extreme passion for building excellent products. Ideally you’ve built impressive stuff in your free time as well.
Capacity to ship end-to-end features quickly: we jump at the opportunity to take charge of a core feature and build it out in a week
Ability to thrive in ambiguity: we trust each other to make high quality product and engineering decisions independently.
Desire/ability to work out of our HQ in Palo Alto
2-5 years of software development experience, we care a lot more about the passion and love of building than the exact number of years.
Working experience building full stack applications with TypeScript and Nextjs.
Ability to build new features and build infrastructure using React, CSS, Firebase, and Node.js.
Working experience building directly for users.
Self-directed and comfortable working autonomously.
The opportunity to redefine the medium of digital intelligence for humanity.
Competitive compensation + equity.
Comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, and vision insurance; flexible PTO.
Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including but not limited to experience and skill level, and may vary from the amounts listed above.
