Cartesia jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Cartesia does research on AI models and ships real-time voice models. Sonic turns text into speech, Ink turns speech into text, and Managed Agents builds voice agents. The founders met as PhD students at the Stanford AI Lab, where they invented State Space Models (SSMs), a model design for fast, efficient AI. Index Ventures and Lightspeed back it.

What they value

• Get the fundamentals right.
• Build to solve problems.
• Aim beyond what is possible.
• Be honest, with ourselves and others.
• Have fun with it.
• Ship fast, with a high bar for quality and design.

What they look for

Most Postings ask for a set number of years in the field, from 2 years in sales development to 8 years in partnerships. Many roles want experience at a high-growth startup. Many Postings ask you to own work end to end and to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical people. Product engineering Postings value what you shipped more than your years of experience. Researchers need deep expertise in generative models and large-scale training.
