ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company that has transformed human-computer interaction through advanced voice AI. Founded in January 2023, the company now serves millions of users and thousands of businesses including Deutsche Telekom and Meta. With $781M in funding and an $11B valuation, ElevenLabs operates three main platforms: ElevenAgents (voice and chat agents at scale), ElevenCreative (speech, music, image, and video generation across 70+ languages), and ElevenAPI (AI audio foundational models for developers).
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will be embedded with ElevenLabs' most strategic customers, taking full ownership of end-to-end execution of major projects. You'll work hands-on to design and deliver tailored solutions that drive real impact, from brainstorming technical architectures and product features to building full-scale integrations. Your role bridges the gap between customer needs and ElevenLabs' cutting-edge AI capabilities.
Key responsibilities include: taking full ownership of complex, high-impact projects for strategic partners; collaborating daily with customer engineering and executive teams to ensure optimal use of ElevenLabs technologies; and driving innovation through coding and technical problem-solving that makes a measurable difference for clients.
You'll thrive in ElevenLabs' high-velocity, impact-driven culture that emphasizes rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy. The company uses AI across all functions—engineering, growth, operations—and maintains excellence in everything it does. You'll have access to professional development stipends, annual company offsites, and a global team that prioritizes talent over location.
The role is remote-first and can be executed from anywhere in Switzerland, with a preference for Zurich-based candidates. Fluency in both English and German, plus deep understanding of regional and cultural nuances, is required.
