Summary
✨ AI‑Generated
Join a small, fast-moving AI-native team as an early software engineer with end-to-end ownership. Build polished mobile and cross-platform experiences, an iOS keyboard extension, real-time audio and transcription systems, an LLM processing layer, and supporting backend APIs. You will take features from concept to production and have significant influence over both product architecture and engineering practices.
Highlights
Join an early-stage, AI-native engineering team with broad ownership. Build polished cross-platform experiences, work across mobile, backend, real-time transcription, and LLM systems, and shape both the technology and engineering practices from an early stage.
Description
Software Engineer — Parle
About Parle
Parle is building the fastest, most natural way to turn your voice into text — everywhere you type.
We started as VeroFi and are going all-in on voice: a dictation layer that lives on top of every app on your phone, starting on iOS with a system keyboard and expanding across Android, web, and desktop.
We're small, founder-led, AI-native, and moving fast.
You'd be one of the first engineers shaping both the product and how we build.
What You'll Do
Build high-quality, tasteful product experiences across our React Native/Expo apps and the iOS keyboard extension — taking features from idea to shipped with strong attention to detail.Own entire product surfaces end-to-end: the recording UI and live waveform, the mic-to-keyboard handoff architecture, the streaming transcription pipeline, the LLM polish layer, and the backend API that powers all of it.Obsess over the feel of the product: latency, interim transcription, amplitude-reactive animations — the milliseconds between speaking and seeing clean text are the whole product.Work across the stack within a surface — RN client, real-time WebSocket streaming (Deepgram live with a Whisper batch fallback), the polish step (tone presets, action-context formatting), and the Expo/EAS build system.
You don't stop at the UI when the problem goes deeper.Use AI tools actively in your day-to-day.
We build on Replit and lean on AI coding tools to prototype and ship — you should too.Contribute to product decisions, not just execution — you have a point of view on what we should build and why.Raise the quality bar through code review, documentation, and engineering practices the whole team benefits from.
What Makes You a Great Fit
Strong experience building mobile applications — React Native/Expo, or native iOS/Android — and you care about platform conventions, especially the hard ones: keyboard extensions, IME, background audio, and permissions.You have high product taste: you notice when something feels off, and you know how to fix it.Comfortable working across the stack within a product surface — client, real-time transport, and backend services.You move fast and ship often; you have a bias for getting real things in front of users over waiting for perfection.You use AI coding tools fluently and have a point of view on how to get the most out of them.Experience with performance-sensitive or real-time UIs is a strong plus — Parle streams audio and text live, and responsiveness is core to the experience.Bonus: system-level integrations (keyboard extensions, IME, accessibility APIs), audio/speech or transcription pipelines, multilingual/i18n work, or consumer products with strong user retention.Our stack: React Native / Expo, TypeScript, Replit, Deepgram (live streaming), OpenAI Whisper + GPT, WebSockets, EAS.
iOS-first, Android and web close behind.
