Senior Software Engineer

At Tenor, we’re on a mission to transform leadership development - making every manager more effective, at the world's largest companies, through the power of AI.

Management is the most important activity at a company for organizational performance, employee experience, and retention. And when managers get better, the business does too.

That’s why we built Tenor, the AI for leadership development. Our platform lets managers practice hard conversations - like feedback, performance reviews, terminations, or compensation changes - with realistic voice AI characters. Then we give them instant feedback to help them improve.

We’re backed by great investors and our enterprise customers include major name-brand companies.
