Seven listings. One small team.
Sophon builds office agents: Cue, which acts inside the app you are already in, and the AI Office products that documents pass through. The person who writes a feature is the person who answers for it in the store listing.
We would rather tell you what is unfinished than have you find out in month two.
Latency is an engineering budget, not a vendor’s number.
Cue’s dictation polish runs Gemma 4 E4B on the user’s own machine through Ollama. Moving it off the cloud is what took the median from 876 ms to 488 ms, and Google published the case study with the measurement conditions stated.
Measured on Apple Silicon via Ollama over a 227-sample real-voice benchmark, English and mixed-language. Figures as of May 2026. Google DeepMind
The document products are the other side of the same problem: what a file turns into, and how fast. Seven listings ship across macOS, Windows, Android, iOS and the web, which means the work is real release engineering rather than demos.
Four steps, and you will know where you stand at each one.
No portal, no cover letter, no unpaid take-home. The problem in step three comes off our real backlog and we pay for your time on it.
You write to us
One email. Tell us which of the six products you would work on and what you would change about it. No cover letter, no form.
A conversation
Forty-five minutes with someone who ships the thing you would be working on. You ask as many questions as we do.
A real problem
Something taken from our actual backlog, timeboxed, and paid. We do not ask for free work and we do not run whiteboard puzzles.
Offer, with the band
The number is the band that was on the posting. We do not negotiate down from it and we do not ask what you earn now.
What we are hiring for
Every posting states the same six facts before it asks anything of you, and a role that cannot fill all six is not ready to post.
No roles are posted right now. When they are, each one appears on this page with the six facts in full.
If you want to work on one of them regardless, write to feedback@sophoninc.com and say which, and what you would change about it first.
See the posting format — a sample, clearly marked as one, showing what every real posting will contain.
Things we have not figured out yet.
A careers page that only lists advantages is a page you cannot use to make a decision. These are real and current.
- Our store identities do not match our legal name.
- Google Play shows “NEXT AI Lab”; the App Store sells under a personal account, “Yang Yang”. Neither has been reconciled with the legal name. If store hygiene matters to you, it is work that needs doing.
- Six of the seven listings carry no outside evidence.
- Cue has a published Google DeepMind case study. The Android and iOS products have store ratings; PPT AI and Cue Office have nothing yet. Building the evidence for the rest is open work.
- One of our domains is not serving.
- As of 13 September 2026, chatpdf.pro does not complete a TLS handshake, while heycue.io, cueoffice.ai and ppt.sophoninc.com do. It is on the list.
- We are small, and that cuts both ways.
- You will own a surface outright. You will also carry the release, the store reply and the bug that lands on a Friday, because there is nobody else to hand it to.
