About Us
At Stimuler, we're building Speech AI models to empower the next 2 Bn+ Non-Native English speakers to enhance their conversational skills. Our AI tutor provides real-time interaction, adapting to users’ speech inputs to build fluency faster. We’re looking for a Founding Backend Engineer to work directly with the CTO to architect and scale our core infrastructure. This is a critical early role, and you'd be a part of the core engineering team.

In terms of scale, we currently have over 4Mn+ app installs and over $100k in monthly revenue (90%+ of which is outside India) and aim to scale 10x from here in the next 12 months. We are backed by Lightspeed and a bunch of top investors from Singapore, Japan, and India.

Role & Impact

In this role, you will design, develop, and maintain the backend systems that power our AI tutor. You’ll work at the intersection of AI infrastructure, distributed systems, and real-time data processing—shaping the technology and the team as we grow.
