About ElevenLabs ElevenLabs is a research and product company defining the frontier of audio AI. Millions of people use our technology to read articles, voice over videos, and restore voices lost to disability. Leading developers and enterprises worldwide use ElevenLabs to build intelligent agents for support, sales, and education.

We launched in January 2023 with the first AI model to cross the threshold of human-like speech. In January 2025, we raised a $180 million Series C round, valuing the company at $3.3 billion. By September 2025, that valuation doubled to $6.6 billion as we surpassed $200 million ARR in under three years.

Our mission is to build the most important audio AI platform in the world, solve AI audio intelligence, and make information accessible in any voice, language, or sound.

Our core offerings are our Creative Platform and the Agents Platform, powered by proprietary Text to Speech, Speech to Text, and conversational AI models.

We are just getting started. If you want to work hard and create lasting impact, we would like to hear from you.

About The Role As a Forward Deployed Engineer Strategist, you'll work as part of a driven and creative team of Engineers, Product Designers, and other Strategists to deploy our voice AI technology against the most challenging problems our customers face. Your mission is to synthesize disconnected streams of thought into a cohesive understanding of what the most important problem is, what the data means, what the product needs, what users are motivated by, and where the impact could be.

No two days are the same, but as a FDE Strategist you can expect to:

• Meet with strategic customers to understand their critical audio and voice AI needs and locate their biggest pain points.

Requirements

• Experience working with customers in a technical capacity. It's ok if you only worked with customers in student clubs or side projects, as long as you are interested in working closely with them.
• Basic proficiency in Python and understanding of API integration to implement scripts and help with prototyping/demo building.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, especially in terms of ability to summarize complex technical concepts and using logic in pursuing optimal solutions.
• A proven track record of taking ownership of complex projects and delivering results.
• Adaptability to work across different customer environments and technical use cases.
• Technical aptitude to quickly understand our voice and audio AI models and their applications.
