Staff Engineer, Desktop (macOS)

Wispr Flow

Responsibilities

  • Build a reliable screen-context engine for dictation, Notetaker, Instruct Mode, and future products
  • Set technical direction across accessibility, native integrations, memory, state, and background behavior
  • Solve difficult performance, correctness, and cross-application failures
  • Expand what Flow can understand while protecting performance and user privacy
  • Turn OS-specific knowledge into durable foundations other engineers can extend
  • You’ve owned a quality or UX metric, not only a feature roadmap
  • You turn ambiguous technical problems into clear direction for a team

About the role

You’ll own the architecture of our macOS platform and build its screen-context engine - the foundation that helps every feature understand what is happening on a user’s screen. You’ll solve the hardest desktop systems problems and create primitives that improve Wispr's products on macOS.

What you’ll do

You may be a fit if

  • You’ve designed a system or platform other engineers successfully built on
  • You’ve recently shipped meaningful production code for a desktop application

You debug unfamiliar systems from first principles

Prior experience with voice, ML, Electron, accessibility APIs, or macOS is not strictly required if you bring exceptional platform depth.

Logistics

We sponsor H1B, O1, EB1, L1, STEM OPT, and more. We can't guarantee sponsorship for every role, but if we make you an offer we'll make every reasonable effort, with help from our immigration law firm.

We strongly encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification. The strongest candidates we meet rarely do, so don't exclude yourself prematurely. We're rethinking how humans interact with AI, and doing that well demands diversity of perspective and experience.

We're committed to a fair and accessible interview process. If you need any accommodations or adjustments, please let us know.
