About Slang AI

Slang AI is redefining customer engagement through conversational AI, making every interaction seamless and efficient. Our mission is to transform the restaurant industry by providing the ultimate voice AI solution for consistently outstanding customer experiences.

At Slang AI, we believe how we build matters just as much as what we build. We foster a culture rooted in hospitality, ownership, and clarity, where every “Slangsta” feels valued, supported, and connected to the broader impact of our work in the AI-powered future of restaurants.

How We Use AI in Hiring

Slang AI uses AI tools to help review and evaluate applications, and a person makes every hiring decision. No one is rejected by AI alone: a member of our team reviews your actual application before any decision. To learn more about how we use AI, to ask for a person to review your application without an AI step, or to request an accommodation, let your recruiter know.

Using AI During Your Application

You’re welcome to use AI tools to prepare, for example to polish your résumé or practice interview questions. During live interviews and assessments, please don’t use AI tools to generate your answers unless we say it’s allowed. To make sure we’re speaking with you, we’ll ask you to have your camera on for at least one live interview. If you can’t use a camera, let us know and we’ll find another way.

Equal Opportunity at Slang

Slang AI is an equal opportunity employer. We hire based on qualifications, merit, and business need. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, ancestry, citizenship or immigration status, age, disability, pregnancy, marital or partnership status, caregiver status, genetic information, military or veteran status, height, weight, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law. We consider qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records in a manner consistent with the NYC Fair Chance Act and applicable law. If you need a reasonable accommodation at any point in the application or interview process, let your recruiter know.

What Your Experience Will Be

As an Account Executive at Slang AI, you will play a key role in driving our business forward. Collaborating closely with the Head of Sales and your manager, you will be integral to our growth. You will work within the Sales department, engaging with teams such as Product and Customer Experience to ensure a cohesive customer journey. This is a remote, field-based role: you’ll live in or near one of our markets so you can meet prospects in person. Occasional travel may be required for conferences or company offsites. You will use sales technology and AI tools to work productively and stay connected with prospects and teammates.

Why You Belong Here and How You Will Grow

At Slang AI, trust is the foundation of every relationship, starting with your teammates and extending to every prospect you meet. We cultivate a culture where every Slangsta takes pride in their achievements with humility. Our team is collaborative, supportive, and driven by shared goals, with an abundance mindset and a real sense of belonging. We offer experiences and benefits designed to build community inside and outside the company.

Being AI Native is how we grow: we use AI in every part of how we sell, and we expect everyone to keep learning, especially when it’s hard. You will grow as a professional and as a person. From weekly team trainings to 1:1 coaching with your manager and peers and company-wide workshops, we’ll support your learning and development in line with your career goals.

Our Vision

Calling a business shouldn’t feel like a robot-hostage situation, where you’re forced to listen to horrible music and can’t reach a human, while enduring a soulless voice uttering “I’m sorry, I didn’t quite get that” on repeat for eternity. (Shudder.) That’s why we started Slang AI. We use the latest AI and audio wizardry to make transacting via voice so enjoyable it’s more human than human. By 2030, we will save businesses and consumers 1 billion minutes of precious time while transforming voice channels into the preferred mode of communication (it’s faster and easier than text).

We have backgrounds building product at companies like Spotify, BuzzFeed, the New York Times, and OpenTable, shipping experiences that have reached hundreds of millions of users. Now, we’re using our backgrounds to build a culture that puts product and human-centered design above all else while fostering constant learning and growth. Sound like something you’d like to be part of? Get on board.

Our Values

• AI Native. We don’t just sell AI. We are AI.
• Overachiever Fever. We’re overachievers (we don’t know any other way).
• Humility Ability. We approach each other with curiosity and openness (know-it-alls not welcome!).
• Be a Good Host. We build for hospitality. We should embody it.
