Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Software Engineer (CVI) - **Company:** Tavus Inc. - **Location:** San Francisco, CA, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Clean Code Principles, Python (Programming Language), Multiprocessing, WebRTC, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), Real Time Systems, Large Language Models, Video Streaming - **Published:** July 11, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=e1fd57965b94e930 ## About the Role * Fluent in Python, with real depth in concurrent programs. Low-level concepts (asyncio, multiprocessing, event loops, the GIL, shared memory) are dear friends, and you design with them in mind. * You've built real-time systems, whether video, audio, or model inference, and you know what a millisecond latency budget feels like. * You bring a senior track record: you set direction, own decisions, and get things over the finish line. * You explain complex things clearly, and you use that to teach the people around you., * Experience with GPUs and GPU management * Deep experience with video streaming over WebRTC * Deep experience with LLMs and agentic frameworks * Extensive experience with low-level systems ## Description We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to be a technical driver on Tavus's Conversational Video Interface, our multimodal real-time conversational product. It's a hands-on role. Your code runs in the middle of live conversations between people and PALs., * Guided Browser Control: a framework that lets PALs drive a real web browser mid-conversation, narrating each click and scroll out loud * Magic Canvas: interactive cards rendered right on the video stream. The PAL puts the right card up at the right moment: a question, a text box, a calendar, a chart, an alert * Memories and Knowledge Base: the context layer that lets PALs recall past conversations and pull from document stores in real time, without breaking stride * Utterance-to-utterance optimization: shaving hundreds of milliseconds off conversational turns Who you are: * You're proactive. When you see an issue, you fix it. Nobody has to ask. * You're autonomous. Given a loosely defined project, you figure out what "done" means, make the judgment calls, and deliver. * You're energized by unfamiliar problems. A lot of the work here has no playbook, and you'll take on projects outside your direct experience. * You adapt as priorities evolve. This space moves fast, and the most important thing to build can change as we learn. When it does, you adjust and keep moving. * You hold a high bar. What matters to you is how the product feels to the person on the other end of the conversation. Clean code and clever architecture are means to that end. * You're passionate about the future of interfaces. How people and computers interact is being reinvented right now, and you want a hand in shaping it. ## Related Videos - [Challenges and Solutions for Efficient, Large-Scale Video Analysis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2022-challenges-and-solutions-for-efficient-large-scale-video-analysis) - [The Fundamentals of Online Video](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/32-the-fundamentals-of-online-video) - [The weekly developer show: Boosting Python with CUDA, CSS Updates & Navigating New Tech Stacks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1293-the-weekly-developer-show-boosting-python-with-cuda-css-updates-navigating-new-tech-stacks) - [Transforming Education: A Journey from interactive Markdown to Remote-Labs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/941-transforming-education-a-journey-from-interactive-markdown-to-remote-labs) - [Coffee with Developers - Cassidy Williams - ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/912-coffee-with-developers-cassidy-williams) - [Hello JARVIS - Building Voice Interfaces for Your LLMS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1641-hello-jarvis-building-voice-interfaces-for-your-llms) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 130 - The Diablo is in the details](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/470-dev-digest-130-the-diablo-is-in-the-details) - [Dev Digest 129 - Now that's what I call private data!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/468-dev-digest-129-now-that-s-what-i-call-private-data)
