Job description

We're looking for someone who can own problems end-to-end, work across the stack, and proactively anticipate solutions before they're asked for. You'll work closely with the founders to:

  • Design and build core features for our AI voice agent platform
  • Implement fast, intuitive user experiences that delight enterprise users
  • Make key architectural decisions and set engineering standards from day one
  • Move quickly from concept * prototype * production
  • Build internal tooling, integrations, and data pipelines to support large-scale voice and insight workflows
  • Help recruit and mentor future engineers as the team grows

Requirements

Do you have experience in UX?, Do you have a Master's degree?, Must-haves

  • 3-8+ years of hands-on engineering experience
  • Strong full-stack abilities (frontend + backend + light devops)
  • A proactive, "figure it out" approach - someone who gets results
  • Ability to work with limited oversight and drive projects independently
  • Strong product intuition and attention to user experience
  • Experience shipping polished, reliable features quickly
  • Comfort working with AI/LLM APIs or willingness to learn rapidly

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience with voice systems, agents, or LLM toolchains
  • Prior startup or founding experience
  • Ability to mock up clean UI/UX without relying on a designer
  • Experience integrating internal or third-party APIs

Benefits & conditions

  • Highly competitive salary (unusual for pre-seed stage)
  • Meaningful equity/options - real ownership
  • A chance to join at ground floor while the company already has traction
  • Direct collaboration with highly experienced founders
  • A clear product direction and well-mapped technical roadmap
  • Autonomy, responsibility, and creative control
  • Flexible hybrid/remote structure

Why Join Now

We're still early - but not "idea stage." We have:

  • Paying enterprise customers
  • A working product in use today
  • A validated problem and strong signals from the market
  • A clear, ambitious roadmap with multiple expansion paths

Joining now means unparalleled influence over the core architecture, the roadmap, and the culture - with the upside of being a true founding engineer.
