will wispr flow defeat the mechanical keyboard? (no)

Good morning, sweet babies.

Today’s newsletter is full of tiny, juicy nuggets: a junior-level engineering job, a smattering of REMOTE jobs, and a call for a developer evangelist.

Company spotlight: Wispr Flow

As someone who is prone to developing a wicked case of carpal tunnel syndrome, I am more than ready for Wispr Flow, whose mission is to make the best, most effortless speech-to-text app around. This isn’t mere dictation, Wispr Flow is meant to make working as easy as talking. It’s there to catch your mistakes and stop you from sounding so rambly.

The list of use cases is oh-so long. Think email writing and project management, yes, but also *~*~CoDinG~*~* (lol we all know engineers are not ditching their mechanical clackers for this but we can all dream!)

Wispr Flow announced its $30 million series A in June and boasts a list of users that includes NVIDIA, Meta, Substack, Amazon, and Perplexity.

They’ve got a lot of open jobs right now, including a developer evangelist (🙏 amen) and a VP of engineering.

Open j.o.b.s

AI evaluation platform LMArena, with $100M in seed funding, is hiring in San Francisco. Founded by UC Berkeley SkyLab researchers, the company runs an open leaderboard where LLMs compete anonymously and users vote on the best responses. They’re looking for backend, full stack, and frontend engineers to help scale their platform.

Recruiting platform Paraform, with $25 million in total backing, is looking for a product-minded software engineer to work in SF. Just two years of full stack experience required. Hiring range is $120K–$230K + equity. They’re also hiring across marketing, sales, and operations.

Personal finance management app Copilot is looking for a head of engineering and an iOS/Mac product designer in NYC, and a handful of engineering roles in Santiago, Chile. Copilot has won a bunch of Apple design and app awards in the last few years. They’re making something really popular.

AI-native marketing automation platform Conversion, who just closed their $28 million series A, is looking for a backend software engineer (starting at $150K) and an infrastructure software engineer (starting at $200K), both at their SF HQ.

🚨ENTRY-LEVEL job alert. Enterprise web agent TinyFish (backed with a new $47 million series A. Wowza.) has eight engineering roles open in their Palo Alto offices (some can be REMOTE). In particular, they’re looking for an entry-level ML engineer. No job descriptions on these roles, so go wild.

Piping Hot Networking Tip

I love this hack from my esteemed colleague Macy Mills. Make a QR code that links to your LinkedIn profile (or Github or portfolio) and set it as your phone background. That way you can quickly direct new connections to your work.
