Founding Full Stack Engineer - Cora AI : Job Details

SF Bay Area / New York City / Los Angeles, USA (Remote)

At Cora AI, we're reimagining how B2B companies engage and delight their customers.

Our goal is to orchestrate the perfect blend of digital and human touchpoints, enabling high-touch service at scale—while making customer relationships feel more human than ever.

Our founding team brings deep expertise building generative AI and automation platforms at organizations like BetterUp, LinkedIn, and Thoughtful AI. Now, backed by legendary investors from Acrew Capital , Emerson Collective , and Recall Capital , along with founders and executives from LinkedIn, BetterUp, Glean, Scale AI, and Gusto, we're on a mission to transform enterprise customer experiences in the age of AI.
