At Siena we are revolutionizing the customer service industry with the world's first autonomous AI customer service agents. We are a remote-first startup that's passionate about enabling machines to engage in delightful and empathic conversations. Siena is the first of its kind, designed to work out-of-the-box to interact with customers across all channels from a single platform.
If you're excited about AI and the intersection of human-to-machine communications, and want to be part of a team who is driving innovation and making a real impact, then come join us in pushing the boundaries of AI and CX.
Customer First: It's not just about solving issues or closing deals. We're in the business of understanding our customers so well that we can anticipate their needs and blow their minds.
Straight Talk: Communication isn't just a checkbox for us—it's our operating system. We say what we mean, mean what we say, and have no hidden agendas or sugar-coating..
Question & Disrupt: We do things that have never been done before—not for the sake of being different but for being radically better.
Act with Agency: We don't wait for permission or perfect conditions. We evaluate the situation, make our best call, and go for it.
Raise the Bar: We're not just meeting standards, we're aiming for setting them.
Fast & Fearless: We move quickly but thoughtfully, and view mistakes and failures as stepping stones, not setbacks.
Driven by Curiosity, Fueled by Growth: We ask the questions no one else is asking, dive deep, and come out the other side better for it.
Synergy Over Solo: We value collaboration over individual achievement. When we work together, we're unstoppable. We're not just co-workers; we're co-creators.

You are proud of your microservices architecture skills. But don't like to brag.

You have a high degree of technical knowledge around scaling systems.
You have been in a startup from Seed to exit.
You have experience working in remote teams.
🏠 The flexibility to work from anywhere. Even if it's just from the comfort of your own bed (because let's face it, who doesn't love a good WFH situation?)

💸 Competitive salary and stock options. We offer highly competitive salaries and equity, because we're building this together.
