About the job
About Pocket
At Pocket, we’re building the future of human memory.
Some of the most valuable information in our lives disappears when a conversation ends: an idea, a decision, a detail we wish we could remember. Pocket helps us hold onto it.
We’ve built an AI-powered device that captures real-world conversations and turns them into searchable transcripts, summaries and next steps. Backed by Accel and Y Combinator (W26), we’ve already sold 500,000 devices.
Our ambition goes beyond recording. We believe the things you learn, discuss and experience can become useful context for the AI tools you already use, and for products that don’t exist yet.
About the Role
Real conversations are messy. People interrupt, rooms are noisy, speakers sound similar and a missed detail can change the meaning of a summary.
You’ll improve the voice systems that make Pocket useful in those conditions. The work connects applied research to production: define the problem, build an evaluation, test an approach and ship what works. You’ll partner with product and design so technical progress becomes something customers can notice.
