We’re excited to share that we recently closed a $50 million Series B funding round, led by Smash Capital, with continued support from existing investors Madrona and Goodwater Capital.

We're just getting started, so if you're passionate about shipping early, often, and impacting millions, we'd love for you to join our growing team!
The Role:
The Bots team is dedicated to capturing and processing critical audio and video data that powers our downstream applications, enabling smarter, real-time insights across a variety of use cases. We approach every challenge with creativity, collaboration, and a commitment to innovative solutions that impact thousands—if not millions—of users daily. We value versatility, ingenuity, and a passion for solving complex problems across diverse technology stacks and methodologies.
As a Bot Developer on our team, you’ll play a key role in solving dynamic, cross-disciplinary problems and applying your skills to a wide range of projects. You’ll contribute to designing scalable systems for live data capture, developing infrastructure for our bots and mobile apps, and ensuring seamless audio and video collection for our users. We don’t expect you to be an expert in every tool or domain from day one, but we value creativity, adaptability, and curiosity to help you quickly master the skills necessary to craft robust and scalable solutions. If you're motivated by impactful work and excited to build systems that bring data to life, we'd love to meet you.
