Founder's Associate

MetaVoice
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/4/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/2/2026

Our goal is an AI for voice conversations that's as natural as talking to a person.


MetaVoice is founded by:

  • Sid, founding engineer at Wayve.ai ( $2B raised)
  • Vatsal, co-created Alexa’s first AI voice.


Today's voice AI fails at real-world conversations. It’s slow, turn-based like a walkie-talkie, breaks with interruptions, and doesn’t understand emotion.


Developers can't build compelling experiences and users disengage. This limits voice AI to simple receptionist tasks and basic customer support, blocking meaningful services (sales, therapy, coaching) where dialogue and emotional intelligence matter most. Scaling current tech does not work.


Our approach is a duplex speech-to-speech model that learns conversational behaviour directly from data.


That’s how we make voice the most natural way to interact with AI.


This is a high-agency, generalist role working directly with the founders on the most important problems across operations, growth and product.


What you'll do

  • Drive 0→1 projects across operations, growth and product.
  • Talk to users to identify high-value problems and validate ideas
  • Build and scale core workflows and systems (e.g. sales, hiring, onboarding, internal tools)
  • Support go-to-market efforts (experiments, partnerships, positioning)
  • Do whatever it takes to move the company forward


Who you are

  • High agency – you don’t wait to be told what to do
  • Strong problem solver who thrives in ambiguity
  • Able to think strategically and execute quickly
  • Highly organised and able to manage multiple priorities
  • Clear & structured communicator

(Bonus)

  • Built something yourself (project, startup, side hustle, etc.)
  • Experience in a startup or VC
  • Comfortable working with technical teams


What we offer

  • Change the world (when we succeed)
  • Work directly with the founders to build the machine that builds the machine.
  • Steep learning curve and high ownership
  • Small team, high-talent density


Culture

  • In-person in San Francisco – we move faster together
  • We ship fast & obsess over making customers happy.
  • We offer high autonomy, allowing everyone to do their best work.


Compensation & Benefits

  • Significant equity as a founding team member.
  • $70K-90K base
  • Full medical insurance 401(k)


Interview Process

We move with speed and aim to go from first interview to offer within a week.

  • Vibe check (30 mins): chat with one of the founders about the vision your background
  • Working session (1 hr): we’ll tackle a real problem together to see how you think operate
  • 2 (x30 mins) Culture interviews
  • Onsite co-work: Spend half a day with us building and iterating on a problem we’ve faced.
