About the role
THE ROLE
"Founding" means what it says. You're the engineer taking the lead on what Coval's product becomes, partnering directly with our head of product to define and build it.
This is category creation. We're not copying features from another product. Nobody has built the evaluation infrastructure for voice AI before. That means you'll be thinking hard about what it looks like to serve engineers, product managers, operations teams, compliance, legal, and QA — all from one platform. You'll decide how much lives in the UI versus the CLI versus embedded in other applications. How much is system of record versus native experience. These are open questions, and you'll answer them by building.
What you'll actually do:
• Define the next frontier of the product. Not just scaling what we have to more enterprises. Skating ahead. What do operations teams need one year from now to be successful? What's missing from Coval today? You'll study the market, talk to customers, dig through analytics data, and form opinions about where to go next.
• Build large-scope features end to end. You won't be handed a ticket for a small UI tweak. You'll own entire product areas, from concept through implementation. Your first project will likely be closing the loop between evaluation signal and actionable feedback: taking everything Coval knows about a customer's conversations and turning it into autonomous suggestions about what's working, what isn't, and what to change.
• Ship across the full stack. Heavy data workloads, scaling systems, and the full user-facing experience. You'll implement opinionated, high-signal simulations and evaluations that work across wildly different business verticals.
• Stay ahead of the AI curve. AI is changing every product we use. You'll constantly adapt what a modern AI-enabled platform looks like: what's possible today versus six months from now, and build accordingly.
