What the job involves

As one of the founding engineers at Slang, you will work closely with the CEO and CTO on projects that drive our success. High impact is a trope in tech, but it's definitely true here. Everything you build will touch our existing and incoming customers and propel sales into the stratosphere
If you enjoy feeling the direct impact of your work on users, as opposed to the faceless masses (which is cool too we're former big tech ppl so not judging), this might be your ticket to the moon
You will touch our existing full-stack kotlin MPP application, our backend systems that handle the voice/ai heavy-lifting and new things we haven't even thought of yet (well, yes there's a roadmap too)

Our take

The frustration surrounding calling businesses is a universal sentiment. Nobody enjoys long hold times when chasing down an order, or voicemail when trying to make a late reservation at a restaurant. However, through the power of AI, the broken calling experience can be repaired.

Slang is a platform designed to tackle this problem head-on, by automatically answering calls for restaurants, retailers, and other businesses. It is capable of delivering accurate responses which enhance customer service - ultimately boosting revenue - while also streamlining operations.

Emerging from stealth mode in 2023, Slang landed early funding which gave it some great momentum. It has worked to integrate its product with reservation management platforms while unveiling a host of advanced functionalities. A further injection of funding in 2026 supports the broadening of its service capacity as it aims to help more businesses eliminate missed calls.
