- Shipped production AI applications with real-time inference, integrating ML models into live systems
- Built and operated distributed backend systems with monitoring and observability in place
- Strong proficiency in Python, JavaScript, Node.js, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker
- 2+ years at an early to mid-stage startup (Series B or lower)
- Own and scale the end-to-end voice agent pipeline that already powers thousands of monthly conversations—help us grow it to millions
- Select, integrate, and tune models for optimal latency, quality, and reliability
- Build orchestration logic, evaluation systems, and supporting backend services
- Ensure low latency, high availability, and scalability of voice agent infrastructure
- Collaborate closely with product and engineering to rapidly prototype and deliver features, playing a key role in driving the vision and evolution of our platform and product with significant ownership over technical execution and direction
