About the role
You’ll own the backend systems that keep our products fast, available, and safe to change as Wispr scales. You’ll evolve how compute and data scale, establish consistent observability across our services, and rebuild the development workflows engineers use to test critical product experiences.
What you’ll do
Decouple compute and data storage so core dictation systems can scale independently
Build systematic observability and alerting across our FastAPI services, catching critical failures before users do
Create isolated, end-to-end test environments for onboarding, dictation, Notetaker, and other core experiences
Improve the redundancy and global availability of critical infrastructure
Remove production bottlenecks at their root and give engineers faster, more trustworthy feedback loops
You may be a fit if
You’ve designed backend systems whose compute, storage, and services needed to scale independently
You’ve built observability and alerting that teams trusted in production
You’ve owned infrastructure, deployment, and on-call for services you personally shipped
You’ve improved developer workflows while increasing—not trading away—correctness
You connect infrastructure decisions to measurable customer outcomes
You’ve evolved critical systems through startup or hyperscale growth
Prior voice, ML, model-serving, or SRE-title experience is not required.
