Founding Engineer

Company Description At Miravoice, we build voice agents for precision data collection, and we make using them as simple as creating a Google Form. Today, we power AI phone surveys and interviews for market researchers, public opinion survey researchers, universities, and private companies across verticals like retail, finance, and entertainment. Our value proposition is simple: we get our customers more data, faster, for less. And our vision is to make rigorous quantitative data collection truly effortless. We’re well-funded and backed by an all-star roster of top tech investors, including John Vrionis of Unusual Ventures (who has funded 28 unicorns in his career), Ali Partovi of Neo (pre‑seed/seed investor in Cursor, Kalshi & Cognition, and early angel investor in Facebook, Dropbox, Airbnb, Uber, Zappos), 25madison Ventures, and angel investments from the CTO / Co‑founder of Ramp, the CEO of PubMatic (NASDAQ: PUBM), the CEO of Bito AI, and industry leaders from Google, Atlassian, Qualcomm, and Crusoe. Role Description As a Founding Engineer, you’ll help shape both our product and our company. You’ll work closely with the founders to design architecture, ship features, and define the product vision. You’ll have real ownership, and your decisions will have lasting impact on our technical and product direction. Beyond just programming, you’ll have the opportunity to co‑author and publish novel research, interact with customers directly, and travel to conferences if you so desire. Why it’s interesting Domain : You’ll get exposure to the bleeding edge of voice AI. We’re building next‑generation systems that can precisely handle complex hour‑long conversations, with voices that sound genuinely human. You’ll work to improve AI conversation quality, scale our platform’s infrastructure to handle tens of millions of calls, and build out critical user flows for our customer‑facing product console. Strong customer pipeline : we’re already working with top polling and market‑research firms and have made over 200,000 calls, with many more in the funnel. Our founding team (Nishant, Shreyas, Danny) values builders above all, because we’re all builders at heart: We’re three deeply technical co‑founders (CS/AI at Stanford, Yale, UCLA, RSI) who have published papers in top ML Conferences (COLM, EMNLP) and journals (Nature Scientific Reports), shipped software to millions of users, and led large teams at iconic companies like Apple, Google, McKinsey, and VMware. You’ll get to grow alongside a rockstar team with product acumen and strong technical chops. We’re making waves : We were featured in an exclusive on the front page of Crunchbase News, with coverage picked up in Yahoo Finance, Morningstar, Fortune, and WSJ VC Pro. We’ve also been featured in a16z’s Future of Market Research, Greylock’s AI‑Native User Research, and Google’s Gradient AI Fund theses on the space (under our old product name, Surveybot AI). Research‑focus : We’ve published and presented at top conferences like AAPOR, View email address on click.appcast.io (Conference on Language Modeling), and MAPOR. Our founding engineers co‑author publications and attend conferences alongside the founders and our customers.
