Backed by Sequoia Capital, AI Fund & NEA, and founded by the former CEO of Tinder, Meeno helps people build real-world social courage through voice-based practice: 1-minute scenes, instant scoring, and personalized feedback.
Not a dating app. Not a companion. Not therapy. IRL reps to help Gen Z meet people IRL.
What You’ll Do
•
Own the technical foundation of Meeno end-to-end: Web + mobile + backend + data + experimentation
Co-design product vision in close partnership with Meeno’s team:
•
Renate Nyborg, founder/CEO (former Tinder CEO, ex Apple/Headspace)
•
Josh Knox, product lead (founder of Outright, brand and content expert)
•
Andrew Ng, Chairman (AI Fund, founder of Coursera/Google Brain)
Build core AI product primitives:
•
Voice capture/playbackLow-latency interactions
•
Scene framework (content + branching + scoring hooks)
•
Feedback loops and user progression
•
Personalization
Architect for speed + iteration (weekly experiments, not quarterly releases).
Set the engineering bar:
•
Quality, reliability, security/privacy, and shipping culture.
Hire and mentor engineers as we scale:
•
Focus on quality over quantity, leveraging AI and talent to scale while staying lean.
What We’re Looking For
•
Strong builder who has shipped consumer products.
•
Comfortable with ambiguity and moving fast without breaking the soul of the product.
