Happy Scribe | Multiple Engineering Roles | Barcelona, Spain | Hybrid or On Site (can sponsor VISA)
With a team of just 17 people and no investor funding, we’ve built a transcription and subtitling product used and loved by 3.5M people, we’ve built one of the biggest Speech To Text datasets and we’ve been profitable from month 1 (currently €5M ARR). We are 100% bootstrapped and profitable, funded by our happy customers, and immune from the funding shortage and layoffs that are impacting other companies.
We've been leveraging our dataset to try and build the first Speech-To-Text algorithms that will surpass human accuracy. We’re searching for Backend Engineers or Machine Learning Engineers who can help us get there, and product-focused Full Stack Engineers who can help us scale the product that will leverage this tech. We also need a Growth Engineer to power our SEO efforts and code some growth hacks.
In the next year we want to hire 10 engineers; if you don't see anything that fits now, get in touch anyway. We want to learn about your career goals so we can reach out in the future if anything matches.
We are language and framework agnostic: if you haven't worked with our tech stack, we still want to hear from you. See job description for tech stack specifics.
This might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to solve one of the fundamental AI challenges of this decade.
We offer visa sponsorship and relocation packages.

Compensation info
We are open to considering people from 2+ to 20+ years, which means it's a very wide bracket. We'd start from €50,000 but it could go up to €100,000+ for a very senior engineer. We also offer equity and different package options depending on whether you value more equity or salary. For context, a speech-to-text competitor was acquired by Microsoft for just under 3Billion. The transcription and subtitling market is booming and equity is worth a lot.
Interview process: It's short, respectful and focused on you; no take home tasks. See each role for specifics.
