Serene Careers

revolutionize mental wellbeing

At Serene, we’re on a mission to revolutionize mental healthcare by creating an AI-powered personalized wellness companion.

Happiness and mental health is a massive problem: 58% of American adults experience loneliness, 75% of US counties have mental health provider shortages, and $10K+ is the cost of therapy annually, making it a luxury good.

Job displacement from AI is going to make it even worse.

Imagine a world where everyone is happier. Everyone, regardless of their background or budget, has a caring best friend, insightful therapist, and judgment-free journal right in their pocket. That’s the future we’re building at Serene.

why Serene?

Mission driven. Mental health is deeply personal for all of us here, and we pour our hearts into every line of code, every user interaction, and every team meeting. We’re not just building an app—we’re revolutionizing happiness and wellbeing. If you’re ready to use your skills to build a product that empowers millions to lead happier, healthier lives, Serene is the place for you.

All-star team. Work alongside a world-class team of repeat startup founders and successful operators (links to profiles). We are well funded from top investors including Quiet Capital and Homebrew, and world-class angels including the founders of DoorDash, Faire, Opendoor, Color, Clubhouse, Science.io, Farcaster, and more.

Outcome oriented. We are efficient, meeting-light, and relentlessly focused on building. Hybrid gives us the highest chance of winning, so we work in person in the Bay Area (the leading hub for AI and tech) for 2-3 days/week to collaborate on open-ended problems and we work from home to maximize productivity on well-understood tasks.

why not Serene?

We’re a lean team that moves fast. We’re intentionally putting together a small but experienced team (think Navy SEALs, not an army). We get a lot done by focusing on the things that matter, and ignoring things that don’t. 

We’re not chasing AGI. We’re not AI researchers, but we have deep experience in consumer and applied AI/ML. You’ll tackle complex challenges at the intersection of AI, human psychology, and user-centric design to create a personalized, accessible, and empowering mental health companion.

We’re not remote. We believe that at the earliest stages, collaboration in person is critical for success.
