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.

- You have shipped realtime audio, voice, WebRTC, or streaming systems
- You care about milliseconds and can find where they go
- You can debug across the network, the phone, and the server
- You want to build something people talk to every day
