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.
Cartesia builds real-time voice and audio AI, and our customers put our models in front of their own users every day. As our Product Support Specialist, you’ll own the front line, the first person customers hear from when something is unclear, broken, or blocking them. You’re obsessed with the customer experience: you dig into every problem, don’t let go until the customer is unblocked, and treat each ticket as a chance to make Cartesia better. Our support function is still taking shape, so you’ll help shape the processes that define our post-sales support and set the standard for how customers experience Cartesia. This role is based in San Francisco.

Experience supporting customers in real-time channels like shared Slack channels or chat, and balancing speed with accuracy.
