Job description

About Gladia

Founded in 2022 by Jean-Louis Queguiner (ex-OVHCloud) and Jonathan Soto (ex-MIT/Sigfox), Gladia builds best-in-class speech AI tools that empower businesses to deliver faster, more accurate, and innovative communication solutions worldwide.

Headquartered in vibrant tech hubs like Paris and New York City, Gladia is leading the charge in speech AI innovation. In under two years, we’ve grown exponentially, now serving over 150,000 users and 700 enterprise clients—including industry leaders like Attention, Circleback, Method Financial, and VEED.IO.

Our API supports advanced speech recognition and analysis in over 100 languages, setting a new standard for speed and accuracy across customer support solutions, voice agents, meeting assistants, and more.

Backed by world-class investors like Sequoia Capital, New Wave, and XAnge, we recently raised $16M in Series A funding—bringing our total funding to $20.3M. This investment powers our mission to build the ultimate AI audio infrastructure for leading platforms across the globe.
