About Wispr Wispr Flow is making it as effortless to interact with your devices as talking to a close friend. Voice is the most natural, powerful way to communicate — and we’re building the interfaces to make that a reality.
Today, Wispr Flow is the first voice dictation platform people use more than their keyboards — because it understands you perfectly on the first try. It’s context-aware, personalized, and works anywhere you can type, on desktop or phone.
Dictation is just our first act. We’re building the interaction layer for your computer — a system that’s capable, understands you, and earns your trust. It will start by writing for you, then move to taking actions, and ultimately anticipate your needs before you ask.
We’re a team of AI researchers, designers, growth experts, and engineers rethinking human-computer interaction from the ground up. We value high-agency teammates who communicate openly, obsess over users, and sweat the details. We thrive on spirited debate, truth-seeking, and real-world impact.
This year, we've grown our revenue 50% month-over-month and with our latest $30M Series A, this is just the beginning.
About The Role As a Head of ML at Wispr, you'll lead the ML research and engineering teams for development of our next generation speech recognition and voice-to-action models. We are training our next generation of multimodal speech-LLMs to perform contextual speech recognition: using auxiliary signals such as speaker history, current screen context, and more to break the current performance boundary of ASR models. In addition, you'll spearhead work on RL-based personalization of LLMs for post-processing and interpreting user speech.
You will be responsible for technically leading the direction of the ML team, being directly hands on involved in aspects of training and serving of our models, and for hiring and growing the team.
