Careers

Come and build the thing that remembers people

Personade turns one recording into a personal video for everyone who receives it. Small team, bootstrapped, and everything you do is visible.

What you would be working on

Seven things happen between someone recording once and a stranger hearing their own name

  1. 01

    One recording goes in

    30 to 90 seconds

    A founder talking to a camera, or a CEO wishing someone a happy birthday. Filmed once, on a laptop, never again.

  2. 02

    We work out what was said, and when

    Speech to text, word-level timings

    Not just the words. The exact millisecond each one starts and ends, because everything downstream cuts on those numbers.

  3. 03

    We find the sentence that names someone

    LLM span detection

    The one clause to replace, ending on a natural pause so the join lands where the mouth is already still. Getting this wrong is audible.

  4. 04

    We clone the voice from that same take

    Voice cloning, with consent

    No separate recording session. The voice comes out of the video they already made, which is the only reason the whole thing takes five minutes.

  5. 05

    We say a different name in it

    Text to speech, gain and tone matched

    Synthetic speech is studio-dry and mastered louder than a laptop mic. So it gets levelled, shelved toward the real voice, and the room's own quiet is laid underneath it. Skip that and the ear catches the edit even when the mouth is perfect.

  6. 06

    We re-render the mouth

    Lip-sync

    The face is really theirs. The mouth is redrawn to match a word they never said.

  7. 07

    It lands somewhere

    ffmpeg, object storage, queues

    Stitched, encoded, uploaded, and delivered as a page a lead opens or a Slack message arriving at 9am in that person's own timezone.

How it works here

At this size, none of this is a slogan

You own the thing, not a ticket

Nothing is handed down from a backlog. You pick up the problem and it is yours end to end, including the part where you decide what the right answer was.

Decisions take minutes

There is no committee, no board and no quarter to wait for. Something that should obviously change can change the same afternoon.

Nobody sits between you and the customer

You hear what they say in their own words, unfiltered by a report. That loop is the whole advantage of being this size.

Bootstrapped, so the maths is honest

No runway theatre and no growth targets invented to justify a round. Customers pay or they do not, and everyone can see which.

Open roles

1 role open

One thing before you write

This is early, and early suits some people

Bootstrapped, two founders, seven timezones apart, and most of the company written down rather than said out loud. If you want a spec and a ramp, this would frustrate you by week two. If you have wanted to own something end to end and never been let near it, this is the version of that.

One email, naming the role, telling us why you would be good at it. Record it instead of writing it if you would rather, and you will have understood the product without us explaining it.

It goes to both founders and you will hear back either way. No form, no tracking system, no keeping you on file.
