About Us

PlayAI (YC W23) 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.

The mission is clear: we are building hyperrealistic conversational voice agents & voice AI infrastructure to enable every business, developer, and creator to build the most human-like automated experiences to ever exist. This will completely change the way we interact with technology.

The need and demand are clear. This past year, we have raised $20M+ in seed funding and have seen significant growth, with 1M monthly active users and 250K developers, with revenue growing 30% MoM.

What Are We Looking For?

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:

• Passion for building excellent products. Ideally, you’ve built projects outside of work or school, even if they were small.

• Capacity to learn and ship features quickly. We value initiative and willingness to take ownership of tasks.

• Ability to thrive in ambiguity. We trust each other to make high-quality product and engineering decisions independently, even if you're still learning.

• Team-oriented mindset. Shipping code fast is good, but not at the cost of making your teammates' lives harder (and your future self too). A great engineer learns to balance speed and long-term sustainability.

• Work out of our HQ in Palo Alto. We truly believe that in-person collaboration is the best way to build an amazing team and product.

Qualifications:

• 2+ years of software development experience, or equivalent personal projects that demonstrate technical ability.

• Experience (or strong willingness to learn) in building full-stack applications, from React and Tailwind to Next.js for web, Flutter, iOS, and Android for mobile, and backend development.

• Experience working directly with users is a plus.

• Self-directed and eager to grow—our small team moves fast, and we look for people who take initiative and want to learn quickly.

What We Offer:

• The opportunity to work on cutting-edge conversational AI products and learn from experienced engineers.

• A fast-paced environment where you’ll gain experience in product development, infrastructure, and AI systems.

• 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.
