Base pay range

Build the future of AI voice: LLMs, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, real-time automation at scale, you name it. Solve hard problems & ship world-changing tech with a world class team.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship core product features across our stack (Python, TypeScript, cloud infra, event-driven systems, third party integrations).
• Own the lifecycle: work directly with customers to understand their needs, scope solutions, and deliver outcomes.
• Move fast when it matters: know when to hack an MVP to deliver value quickly, and when to invest in scalable foundations.
• Raise the bar: use best practices everywhere (e.g., testing, documentation, reliability, security) and help others do the same.

Who You Are

• Customer-obsessed: You start with the customer, empathise with their needs, ask the right questions, and build with their success in mind.
• Biased for action: You try stuff, move quickly, experiment often, and aren’t afraid to learn in public.
• Owner’s mindset: You take responsibility for outcomes and raise the bar for the whole team.
• Ambitious & bold: You think big and explore new ideas, technologies, and markets.
• Team-first collaborator: You contribute to a positive team environment and support others in thriving.
• Care deeply about quality: you strive for high-quality work and improvement.

What You Bring

• Strong fundamentals in software engineering — you can design, debug, and ship reliable systems.
• Proficiency with at least one core language (Python or TypeScript) or demonstrated ability to learn what’s needed.
• Experience building and shipping AI products end-to-end (startup, side project, open source, or scale in a larger company).
• Comfort across the stack — frontend, backend, infrastructure. You are comfortable across layers.
• Ability to work directly with customers or non-technical stakeholders to scope, negotiate, and deliver solutions.
• A track record showing drive: launching something independently, contributing to open source, or taking ownership of challenging projects.

Bonus If You Have

• Early-stage startup experience, especially in AI, voice platforms, or event-driven systems.
• Familiarity with modern cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes, serverless, distributed systems).
• Evidence of customer empathy — support experience, founder experience, or building solutions that solve real user pain.

Perks & Benefits

• Competitive salary & equity — we build together and win together.
• AI-focused learning & development — stay ahead of the curve.
• Team socials & annual offsites — destinations included (last year we went to Greece).
• Private healthcare — because your well-being matters.
