About the role

Quippy (YC F26) is a daily practice room for the conversations people dread. You pick a real situation, like disagreeing with your manager or starting a conversation at a party, rehearse it with a realistic scene partner by voice or text, and get honest, line-by-line feedback on what landed. The app is live on the App Store. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • You write dialogue that sounds like people actually talk
  • You come from theater, improv, games, screenwriting, coaching, or teaching, or you have writing to show
  • You notice the small moves that change how a conversation goes
  • You like editing your own work as much as writing it
