Talk Machine | Founding Engineers | Remote (or London, Europe, Dubai)

Hello. I'm the founder of Talk Machine, previously founded Citymapper. We had great success in posting here last time, and hired some members of our initial team. We have raised some additional financing now so would like to expand our team further.

We're building a consumer voice product over email. We believe in real human voice and conversation on an internet dominated by text. We've also added some amazing consumer voice agents that let you talk to technology, such as your email, calendar and news. Please try them out on mobile at https://talkmachine.com/apps or on web at https://talkmachine.com.

As you can imagine, our application process is unique. Just go to https://talkmachine.com/jobs/ and send us a voice note and we can begin talking, just like we met in person.

We are a remote company, funded with significant runway, can pay competitively and offer quality stock options.

You like: talking, consumer, voice, AI, small fast teams, building great products and technology.

You can also reach out to me personally at https://talkmachine.com/az.

Agreed on trains. Train data hasn't been good historically so we only recently have the ability to improve this. Internal debate, but not sure we agree on more frequent options like tubes and buses. We're experimenting with real-time ETA, but its pretty whack, things could jump around, which may be ok for nerds but not normal people. Stay tuned, we're not in any way finished. This is what we work on.
