Retell AI jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Retell AI builds a platform for AI voice agents that answer and make phone calls. Businesses use the agents for sales, support, and appointment calls. Teams build, test, deploy, and monitor the agents in one studio. Retell joined Y Combinator in November 2023. The Postings say that it has $80M in annual recurring revenue and a team of 50.

What they value

• Work together in the office, because speed matters.
• Keep teams small and give each person real ownership.
• Ship fast, with no committees and no waiting for planning cycles.
• Let scope, titles, and pay follow shipped results, not tenure.
• Put production first and demos second.
• Hire for what people can do, not for pedigree.

Where they hire

Of 28 Postings, 22 name the San Francisco Bay Area, with the office in Redwood City. The company works in the office. Five Postings are remote, four of them contracts. One is in India: a remote Support Engineer contract with Pacific Time overlap. Singapore and Hong Kong have one each. Twenty-one Postings say that Retell can sponsor US work visas.

What they look for

Most engineer Postings ask for 2+ years of experience. The two staff roles ask for 9+ years. Nine Postings ask for a degree in computer science or a related field, and some accept equal practical experience. Six Postings ask for ownership like a founder. Clear communication with technical and non-technical people repeats across 14 Postings. Comfort with fast and ambiguous work repeats across 18. The five Forward Deployed Engineer Postings ask for production code in Python or JavaScript. The India Posting asks for 2 to 8 years in a technical customer role, REST APIs, webhooks, and a bachelor's degree. Offers come as three mixes of cash and equity, with no negotiation.
