Senior Software Engineer, Frontend (Elm)
We’re a foundational AI company whose mission is to make every voice heard and understood. Our end-to-end deep neural network is redefining what companies can do with voice by offering a platform with AI architectural advantage, not legacy tech retrofitted with AI. We believe corporations who harness the power of their audio data will improve the way we all live and work. Together, we’ll unlock unique languages, accents, and dialects all over the world for better communication and better experiences.
Job Description
Company Overview
====================
Deepgram is the leading voice AI platform for developers building speech-to-text (STT), text-to-speech (TTS) and full speech-to-speech (STS) offerings. 200,000+ developers build with Deepgram’s voice-native foundational models – accessed through APIs or as self-managed software – due to our unmatched accuracy, latency and pricing. Customers include software companies building voice products, co-sell partners working with large enterprises, and enterprises solving internal voice AI use cases. The company ended 2024 cash-flow positive with 400+ enterprise customers, 3.3x annual usage growth across the past 4 years, over 50,000 years of audio processed and over 1 trillion words transcribed. There is no organization in the world that understands voice better than Deepgram
Opportunity:
The Console team builds the user interfaces and developer tools that make Deepgram’s APIs easy to explore and understand. We’re a full-stack team that cares about high-quality, iterative delivery and thoughtful code design. In this frontend-focused role, you will build integrations with Deepgram’s speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and voice agent APIs in our API Playground. You’ll also build features to help developers manage their usage and billing in our developer console. Recent launches include voice agent playground, Aura-2 playground, and usage charts.
We use Elm across the frontend and lean on its type system and architecture to move quickly and safely. This role is a good fit for someone who enjoys functional programming, thinks carefully about code structure, and is excited to work with Elm full-time.
What You’ll Do
- Develop, test, and deploy web applications using Elm and other frontend technologies.
- Collaborate with and advise designers, product managers, and other software engineers to create accessible, performant, and responsive features.
- Break down product and design ideas into logical, well-scoped units of work.
- Balance building rapid prototypes and quick MVPs with investing in long-term maintainability and performance.
- Participate in code reviews and architecture discussions, contributing to a culture of clarity, curiosity, and shared ownership.
It’s Important To Us That You Have
- 4+ years of experience on a frontend or full-stack software engineering team
- Professional experience with Elm or strong background in functional programming with interest in Elm
- Expertise in modern frontend technologies and frameworks
- Strong communication skills and ability to navigate technical tradeoffs collaboratively
It Would Be Great if You Had
- Professional experience with Elm
- Background in developing UIs for APIs or other developer-facing products
- Contributions to functional programming communities or open-source projects
- Experience with voice technology and AI-driven applications
Backed by prominent investors including Y Combinator, Madrona, Tiger Global, Wing VC and NVIDIA, Deepgram has raised over $85 million in total funding. If you're looking to work on cutting-edge technology and make a significant impact in the AI industry, we'd love to hear from you!
Deepgram is an equal opportunity employer. We want all voices and perspectives represented in our workforce. We are a curious bunch focused on collaboration and doing the right thing. We put our customers first, grow together and move quickly. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, pregnancy, parental status, genetic information, political affiliation, or any other status protected by the laws or regulations in the locations where we operate.
We are happy to provide accommodations for applicants who need them.
