Job description

  • Own a domain end to end, from system architecture through daily production releases.
  • Join customer calls, gather feedback, and make product decisions independently.
  • Build and optimize multi-channel AI agents, including low-latency voice experiences and persistent conversation state.
  • Set quality practices for non-deterministic systems, including evaluations, prompt versioning, guardrails, and drift detection.
  • Work across React and Next.js interfaces, Node.js backends, and Python services.

Requirements

  • Three to eight years of full-stack engineering experience, including experience shipping early-stage products at startups, as a founder, or on new product teams.
  • Strong production skills in TypeScript, Node.js, React, and Next.js, plus experience building with LLM APIs or agent SDKs.
  • Depth in at least one area: agent state and memory, evaluations and guardrails, B2B2C or marketplace architecture, or production voice and SMS agents.
  • Experience making product decisions, conducting customer discovery, and synthesizing feedback without a dedicated product manager.
  • Python experience with real-time voice pipelines or evaluation tools is valuable. Strong computer science fundamentals and experience with low-latency systems are also relevant.
  • Comfort with ambiguity, rapid iteration, and occasional intense periods around launches or major customer milestones.

Benefits & conditions

Annual salary: $180,000 to $250,000. Visa sponsorship is not available.
