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.
