We’ve got a big vision: that in five years everyone will have a virtual assistant. We’re funded for success: we’ve raised $24M from SRI, Menlo Ventures and Morgenthaler Ventures. And Siri is being applauded by fans. Only one problem, we don’t have you!
So come talk to us. At Siri, you’ll get to:
Work on cool technology
Our core technology is born out of the CALO artificial intelligence project, a $150M project focused on building cognitive software systems that can follow orders, reason, learn, react, explain and reflect. What's exciting is that we're leveraging this technology to build a product that will change people's daily lives. Take a look at what people are saying about Siri.
Learn
Our team is smart and collaborative. Team members have worked at top mobile and Internet companies including Apple, Motorola, Google and Yahoo. You'll learn through the challenging problems you tackle directly and from the ideas you discuss with your colleagues. And, though small, our team comes from all over the world.
Make a mean brew
Coffee and beer. We often debate the perfect way to make a cuppa Joe and drink beer to celebrate our releases (each release is named after a different brew). In short, the environment is casual and we like to have a good time. Pizza, ping-pong, and bean bag chairs play a pivotal role in most work days. We're based in San Jose only an easy walk from the train station.
Please no recruiters.

Siri is a Virtual Personal Assistant ââ¬â a new way to interact with the Internet on your mobile phone. Like a real assistant Siri helps you get things done.
What makes Siri unique is that it understands natural language accomplishes tasks and adapts to userââ¬â¢s individual preferences over time. Siri leverages many services and technologies to accomplish the task requested.
You can ask Siri questions naturally just as you would ask your assistant ââ¬ÅWill it rain today?ââ¬Â or ââ¬ÅGet me a table at a good Italian restaurant.ââ¬Â Through the streamlined interface you wonââ¬â¢t have to weed through web pages to get movie tickets or call a cab. Over time Siri will get to know you and with your explicit permission personalize your results.
Siri was born out of SRIs CALO Project the largest Artificial Intelligence project in U.S. history. (CALO stands for Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes). Made possible by a $150 million DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) investment the CALO Project included 25 research organizations and institutions and spanned 5 years. Siri is bringing the benefits of this technology to the public in the first mainstream consumer application of a virtual personal assistant.
Siri Inc. was founded in 2007 and is based in San Jose California. Siri is venture-backed by investors including The Li Ka Shing Foundation Menlo Ventures Morganthaler Ventures and SRI International.
