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/playback – low‑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. Product taste: you care about “feel,” not just functionality. Excited by voice, interaction design, and behavior change. Can operate like a founder: make tradeoffs, set direction, ship. Green flags (not requirements) Hyped about social connection, empathy for Gen Z loneliness. Early adopter of AI‑driven development. Hungry for rapid career progression and societal impact. Experience with audio/voice pipelines, realtime systems, mobile performance. History of building unconventional projects (creative tech, experiments, indie builds). Interest in human behavior, social dynamics, and product psychology. You won't pass the vibe check if... You are not passionate about our mission. You only want to manage, not build. You need perfect specs to move. You optimize for process over product feel. You are not fun. What success looks like (first 6 months) Meeno has a stable foundation, and we can run rapid experiments. Our product feels fast, human, and culturally sharp. We have a pipeline of world‑class engineering talent. We are well‑positioned to raise Series A with clear signal on north star metrics. We are having fun. $180,000 – $220,000 a year #J-18808-Ljbffr career
