Employer job description
From Perplexity's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
In 2026, we launched Computer, the defining product for the new era of agentic AI. We've scaled beyond the millions of people using Perplexity every day for research, shopping, investing and curiosity into a new paradigm of using AI to transform knowledge into action.
The Multimodal team builds the experiences and infrastructure that move AI interaction beyond touch and text: realtime voice, vision, and the platform systems behind them. We own the full path from a user speaking into a device to an answer coming back: the realtime session infrastructure that connects clients to frontier audio models, the backend orchestration that routes, records, and supervises live sessions, and the SDK that powers voice and multimodal experiences across Perplexity's apps.
As Engineering Manager for Multimodal, you will lead the team building realtime voice and multimodal experiences across Perplexity. You'll hire and develop engineers, set technical direction, and drive new products at the intersection of voice, vision, and agents.
