About Rilla

Rilla invented the virtual ridealong, turning offline, in-person sales conversations into actionable data for industries such as roofing, HVAC, pharma, retail and CPG. Its AI works at the intersection of speech recognition, mobile audio and large-scale distributed systems, including real-time coaching in noisy multi-speaker environments.

Founded in 2019 and backed by GV, Rilla went from $0 to $40M+ ARR in under three years with 15%+ month-over-month growth and 170%+ net revenue retention, and is already profitable. It has about 110 people, including roughly 20 engineers, and has raised a $60M Series B.

• Experience at a talent-dense startup or building 0-to-1 products
• React, React Native, TypeScript and Python
• Exposure to cloud infrastructure
• Speed without sacrificing quality
• A customer-first mindset
• Excitement to work long hours in person in New York 5 days a week
