  • Work closely with the Seattle based VP of Product to experiment, validate, and iterate on new user experiences

  • Apply state-of-the-art AI models (LLMs, embeddings, RAG, agents, etc.) to real-world product problems
  • Design lightweight evaluation frameworks for prototype success (accuracy, speed, cost, usability)
  • Help shape the culture and foundation of our AI usage at Heard


  • What We’re Looking For
  • Strong engineering fundamentals with fluency in prototyping and building full-stack features (Python/TypeScript/React)
  • Applied AI experience using APIs, libraries, and frameworks (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, HuggingFace)
  • Product-mindedness: You care about solving real user problems, not just building cool tech

  • Startup DNA: Resourceful, collaborative, low-ego, and energized by solving messy problems
  • Excited to work in person in Seattle with a small, fast-moving team

  • Within 1-2 months: You’ve shipped prototypes that automate manual workflows that are tested with users
  • Within 3-6 months: You’ve transitioned successful experiments into production features with measurable impact

  • We want you to love the work that you do, the team that you’re working with, the environment that you’re working in. It is often hard to tell from a job description what working at a company is like, but some reasons why Heard may not be a good fit for you:
  • Our mission of helping therapists does not resonate with you
  • You prefer highly structured, well-defined environments
  • You’re uncomfortable with ambiguity or “being the first” in figuring something out


  • Heard is an equal opportunity employer. We aim to build a workforce of individuals from different backgrounds, with different abilities, identities, and mindsets. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply!
