As a Founding Frontend Software Engineer, you'll play a crucial role in building the infrastructure that bridges the gap between raw models and production-ready voice AI. Recently launched and having secured Series A funding, Vapi is a small team of 6 looking to scale their success.

The role offers an opportunity to own the entire frontend Dashboard platform while helping shape company culture.
