Who The Flip Is Flip?

Ever call your favorite eCommerce brand or healthcare provider, and have a crazy good Voice AI answer? That's Flip. Hundreds of brands from Under Armour and Tory Burch in retail to Experity and Fast Pace Health in healthcare trust Flip to have millions of phone calls with their customers every month.

We've built our company on the idea that the best way to grow is to have a reference list as long as our customer list, and a constant belief that the team is the best thing we've built. Both are true today and increasingly so every day.

Many on our team would tell you this is their favorite place they've ever worked, and the hardest they've ever worked. It's ideal for people who want to go all-in, do the work, ride the roller coaster, and have a great Flippin time doing it. We're a small and mighty team of 50 today with offices in NYC, LA, and the UK.

At Flip, you'll create user experiences, design and implement new features, and oversee entire pipelines of the Flip assistant. You'll also get deep into the data, interact with our customers, and help shape the direction of the product. We have a few excellent senior engineers already on the team, one of which will become your direct mentor!

You will get to work on intricate Python-based systems that interface with a wide range of external APIs, develop optimized LLM interfaces, handle complex dialogue management and flows, shape conversational workflows, and ensure low-latency, high-availability voice experiences.
