The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to help scale our AI voice agents as we move from product-market fit into rapid growth. This is a hands-on, client-facing engineering role responsible for translating real-world requirements into production AI agents.

You’ll work closely with customers, sales, and engineering to:

• Translate customer-specific requirements and compliance constraints into robust, testable logic
• Write tools and backend integrations that allow agents to interface with external systems (APIs, CRMs, payment platforms, etc.)
• Tune latency, responsiveness, and voice quality using platforms like OpenAI, ElevenLabs, and Deepgram
• Design A/B tests to optimize business outcomes and regulatory adherence

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• A proven track record of building software in TypeScript or Python
• Experience building and consuming APIs
• Have experience working with AI systems, orchestration frameworks, or LLM evaluation tools
• Excited by in the unique challenges of building low-latency, interruptible real-time voice systems
• Are motivated by delivering measurable impact in regulated, high-trust domains like finance or healthcare
• Enjoy operating close to the customer and iterating quickly based on live data and feedback
• Want to be part of a high-ownership, execution-focused team solving meaningful problems

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with voice design, turn-taking, and dialog systems
• Experience in financial services, healthcare, or other compliance-heavy environments
• Fluency in Spanish
