About the Role We are looking for an engineer with deep hands-on experience in agent building-not just platform configuration-who can architect multi-turn dialogue systems, integrate them with live backend services, and own their quality and reliability in production., Key Responsibilities Design, build, and operate voice agents and multi-turn conversational flows, owning quality and reliability end-to-end Architect agent logic including intent routing, context management, dialogue state handling, fallback and escalation paths, and graceful error recovery Integrate voice agents with backend services via REST APIs to retrieve live data, trigger business processes, and handle asynchronous responses Configure and tune speech pipeline components including ASR, TTS, and voice activity detection to meet accuracy and latency targets Instrument voice agents for observability, including: Conversation analytics Containment rates Drop-off points Error logging Alerting on quality regressions Build reusable dialogue components, shared templates, and platform patterns to accelerate delivery across use cases Collaborate with Computational Linguists to improve NLU quality, intent coverage, and entity extraction accuracy Diagnose and resolve issues across dialogue logic, NLU performance, and API integrations; perform root-cause analysis Contribute to design reviews, define quality standards, and support knowledge sharing across the team Required Experience and Skills 5+ years of professional experience in conversational AI, voice agent development, or dialogue systems
