AssemblyAI builds the best-in-class Voice AI models powering the next generation of voice applications. We have a lab, and we also power our own models in our own proprietary inference environment. Our models serve 600M+ inference calls monthly, process 1M+ hours of audio daily, and power 2 billion+ end-user experiences. The Voice AI space is at an inflection point; we're looking for the best talent we can find to join a rapidly scaling team that's defining the future of the industry.
We are one of the most capital-efficient AI companies on the planet - and are rapidly approaching $1M ARR per employee. We sit among the top 5 most revenue-dense teams within the fastest-growing AI companies today. We have thousands of customers building with us including the top startups and world renown enterprises, and are serving at tremendous scale: we process over 2 million hours of audio daily and handle more than 1 million API calls every day. This is a rare growth-stage opportunity where the business is proven, the revenue is durable, and the growth trajectory is steep and getting steeper. We have a super flat culture and expect our employees' to be deeply intimate with the details at all levels.
If you've ever felt buried under layers of bureaucracy, starved of real ownership, or frustrated watching your work disappear into a slow-moving org, AssemblyAI is built differently. The company operates as a true meritocracy, with no heavy planning or approval processes and no gatekeeping on the tools or information you need. For anyone who genuinely cares about voice AI, not as a trend to chase, but as a technology to build, this is the place where the most interesting problems at the most interesting scale are being solved by a team small enough that you'll actually know everyone's name.
More and more developers don't read our docs or click through our dashboard. Their coding agent does. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and others are now how a big share of engineers discover, integrate and debug AssemblyAI. We've spent years polishing the human experience. The agent experience (AX) is newer, growing fast, and almost untouched.
That's the job. You'll own how AI agents build with AssemblyAI: the skills, prompts, MCP server, code samples, docs and integrations an agent reads and runs when a developer says "add transcription to my app." Your north star is simple: an agent should go from zero to a working, production-grade AssemblyAI integration on the first try.
You'll work closely with senior engineers on our Product Engineering team, with real ownership from day one and room to grow into leading AX as the area scales.
