Design Engineer, Mobile

We're building the first voice interface a billion people use every day. Our first product, Flow, lets you talk instead of type anywhere on your computer or phone, and turns messy speech into polished text that is ready to send. It's scaled from $2M → $50M in ARR in under 12 months with millions of users and thousands of enterprise customers.

About the role

Design is not what it looks like. Design is how it works. Wispr Flow is one of the most loved products out there—not just among Silicon Valley techies, but among the average person. Since we're a layer on top of every app, we have a major responsibility to make it feel delightful and never break their flow. That constraint forced us to invent new interaction paradigms: the floating Flow Bar on desktop, the Flow Bubble on Android, the voice keyboard on iOS. Without design engineers as influential voices in the company, none of this would be possible.

You’d work closely with product engineers, designers, and our founders, Tanay and Sahaj. A big reason Flow feels the way it does is that they care about getting the smallest details perfect.

Responsibilities

• Design interfaces for voice-first interactions across iOS, Android, CarPlay, Apple Watch, and more.
• Have a key voice in the direction of the product roadmap.
• Build new interaction paradigms on top of the frontier models we're building for next-gen HCI.
• Build systems to enable the whole company to ship better UI/UX.
• Talk to customers, observe them, and then obsessively make the product better for them.

Qualifications

• You have strong opinions about what makes an interface feel right, and the ability to defend them.
• You notice if a single pixel is off on the screen.
• You would be embarrassed to ship a non-seamless UI.
• You look at existing user interfaces and think: "Ahh, I wish I could just make this better".
• You aim to deeply understand the users, their emotions, and love to craft the journey to take them on.

Logistics

Location. About 60% of the team is in San Francisco and the rest are remote, mostly US-based.

• If you're in SF: you'll be in the office most days. Most of the team is here five days a week, and a few do three or four days depending on family or long commutes.
• If you're remote: we're open to remote for most roles. We fly remote teammates to SF for three to four days a month and coordinate those weeks so everyone overlaps. Flights and accommodation covered.

Visa sponsorship. We sponsor visas: H1B, O1, EB1, L1, STEM + OPT, and more. We can't successfully sponsor for every role and every candidate, but if we make you an offer we'll make every reasonable effort, and we retain an immigration law firm to help.

Benefits

• Equity on employee-friendly terms, including early exercise and extended exercise windows with a combination of ISOs and RSUs.
• Health, dental and vision: we cover 100% of the premium on the Anthem Blue Cross Gold PPO, and 75% of premiums for dependents (US).
• 401(k) with up to a 4% match (US).
• 16 weeks of paid parental leave (12 weeks for non-birthing parent).
• Flexible time off and company holidays.
• All meals in the office, plus commuter benefits and relocation reimbursement if you’re moving to San Francisco.
• A high-spec laptop, monitor, and a whisper-friendly microphone.
• Regular team events and off-sites.
