ABOUT RETELL AI

Retell AI is using the first principles to reimagine the call center with cutting edge voice AI.

We believe voice is still the most natural way humans communicate, yet it has been trapped in outdated call centers for decades. Our mission is to bring intelligence, empathy, and speed to every phone conversation between businesses and their customers.

Since launching 18 months ago, thousands of companies now utilize Retell's AI voice agents to handle sales, support, and logistics calls that once required large teams of human agents. Backed by Y Combinator, Altman Capital, and other leading investors, we have scaled to $30M ARR with a team of 20 people, up from $5M at the start of 2025.

Now, we're scaling fast, and we're looking for bold, ambitious people to help us build the gold standard for voice automation.

  • Insist on the Highest Standards : We ship products you're proud to show everyone - even if it means spending more time perfecting them.
