Computational Linguist and Data Annotation Lead

ABOUT WISPR Wispr Flow is making it as effortless to interact with your devices as talking to a close friend. Today, Wispr Flow is the first voice dictation platform people use more than their keyboards — because it understands you perfectly on the first try. It’s context-aware, personalized, and works anywhere you can type, on desktop or phone. In 2026, in addition to dictation, we're focused on building native actions — an agentic framework that understands you, and works reliably. We’re a team of AI researchers, designers, growth experts, and engineers rethinking human-computer interaction from the ground up. We value high-agency teammates who communicate openly, obsess over users, and sweat the details. We thrive on spirited debate, truth-seeking, and real-world impact. We're grown our revenue +150% every quarter for the last 4 quarters, and have raised $81M from Tier 1 VC firms and other well-known angels.
