Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks.
The position was remote. I interviewed with the HR Recruiter first. Everything went fine, and I got the second interview with the Hiring Manager. During that interview, he made it clear that they did not simply want a Solutions Architect; they also wanted someone to handle Senior Technical Support. Okay. I have plenty of experience in both.
Then they let me know they also wanted this person to be a Developer. They want all three roles covered by one person while paying the salary of a regular Solutions Architect with commensurate experience in all three areas. I've done some coding, but I do not have to do it often enough for it to be my strong suit, and I let them know. They said I would have to take a coding test. I said ok.
And that was the last I heard from them. They ghosted me. Overall, not very professional.
Questions
Are you a developer and can you code?

We are figuring out how to structure teams, how to communicate, and the correct level of process.
- 2.0Strong product and culture overshadowed by leadership issuesSotware Engineer • Former EmployeeMay 21, 2026Pros: Deepgram has a great product with great market share and great finances. They are well positioned to continue to dominate the voice market, and the product really works and the tech is strong. Many ICs are some of the smartest people who you will ever meet, and there are many wonderful people that contribute to a strong culture despite leadership.Cons: Nepotism, sexism, and racism are quite deeply ingrained in the company culture, meaning some people are given high titles and praise while you are pulling their weight, while others work constantly and very effectively only to see little success. The people and the loyalty they feel to the company and each other is the company's greatest asset, and yet leadership does not recognize this. Many people feel undervalued and unappreciated despite contributing to major deals, working around the clock, or being the hero on a major project. Many people have developed serious health issues due to the stress of working for Deepgram.
- 5.0Easy application process, but feels suspiciousSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, CAJuly 29, 2026Pros: It has an easy application process.Cons: I am not sure if it is a scam or not. It seems too good to be true, and the interview was through Teams.
