About the role
About Meeno
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. • Product taste: you care about “feel,” not just functionality. • Excited by voice, interaction design, and behavior change. • Can operate like a founder: make tradeoffs, set direction, ship.
Green flags (not requirements) • Hyped about social connection, empathy for Gen Z loneliness. • Early adopter of AI-driven development. • Hungry for rapid career progression and societal impact. • Experience with audio/voice pipelines, realtime systems, mobile performance. • History of building unconventional projects (creative tech, experiments, indie builds). • Interest in human behavior, social dynamics, and product psychology.
You won't pass the vibe check if... • You are not passionate about our mission. • You only want to manage, not build. • You need perfect specs to move. • You optimize for process over product feel. • You are not fun.
What success looks like (first 6 months) • Meeno has a stable foundation, and we can run rapid experiments. • Our product feels fast, human, and culturally sharp. • We have a pipeline of world-class engineering talent. • We are well-positioned to raise Series A with clear signal on north star metrics. • We are having fun.
