About Invoca:

Invoca is the industry innovator in AI and machine learning-powered Conversation Intelligence technology. Forrester Research identified Invoca as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Conversation Intelligence: Sales And Marketing, Q4 2021 report, stating that "Invoca is one of the few established conversation intelligence vendors that can legitimately claim AI capabilities."

With over 300 employees, more than 2,000 customers, and nearing $100M in revenue, there are tremendous opportunities to continue growing the business. We are building a world-class SaaS company, having raised over $100 million from Accel, Upfront Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, Morgan Stanley, and H.I.G. Growth Partners.

At Invoca, we live by our four core values:

• Figure it Out: we take ownership of our work and are given the freedom to blaze our own trails.
• Help Each Other Thrive: we foster an inclusive and humble culture that allows us to build value for both our customers and our people.
• Continuous Improvement: we challenge the status quo every day to develop creative solutions that make our products better and our customers more successful
• Light the Customer's Way: we don't just sell a product or turn on a service; we are partners and trusted advisors who support and invest in our customers and their success.

If these values resonate with you, we encourage you to come join us - we are building something special.

About the Engineering Team:

You’ll join a team where everyone, including you, is striving to constantly improve their knowledge of software development tools and processes. We are an incredibly supportive team. We swarm when problems arise and give excellent feedback to help each other grow. Working on our collaborative, multi-functional teams is a chance to share and grow your knowledge of different domains from databases to front ends to telephony and everything in between.

We are passionate about many things: continuous improvement, working at a brisk but sustainable pace, writing resilient code, maintaining production reliability, paying down technical debt, hiring engaged teammates; and we love to share these passions with each other.
