Integrate real-time text-to-speech with Sonic-3.6, Cartesia. Backed by General Catalyst, Index and Kleiner Perkins.
About the role
We're hiring an Engineering Manager to help build Cartesia's Product Engineering team as a hands-on technical and people leader. You'll work alongside the engineers building the product surfaces around our models — including Voices, Voice Agents, self-serve growth, billing, and shared product infrastructure — while helping the team grow in size, quality, and impact.
What they're looking for
- We're looking for someone who combines strong product engineering judgment with meaningful people leadership experience — and who genuinely wants both parts of the job
- 6+ years of product engineering experience, including experience leading or managing engineers at a company with a high product bar
- Strong current technical ability and the credibility to contribute to architecture, design reviews, debugging, and production-quality code
- Experience building polished, customer-facing product surfaces and the product taste to explain what makes an experience excellent
- A track record of coaching engineers, giving direct and useful feedback, handling performance issues, and helping people expand their scope
- Evidence of leading through context, judgment, and contribution — not only through reporting lines or process
More about this role
Our mission is to architect AI that learns from and interacts with the world like humans do.
We're pioneering the model architectures that will make this possible. Our founding team met as PhDs at the Stanford AI Lab, where we invented State Space Models or SSMs, a new primitive for training efficient, large-scale foundation models. Our team combines deep expertise in model innovation and systems engineering paired with a design-minded product engineering team to build and ship cutting edge models and experiences.
We're funded by leading investors at Index Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, along with Factory, Conviction, A Star, General Catalyst, SV Angel, Databricks and others. We're fortunate to have the support of many amazing advisors, and 90+ angels across many industries, including the world's foremost experts in AI.
