  • Tune latency, responsiveness, and voice quality using platforms like OpenAI, ElevenLabs, and Deepgram
  • Design A/B tests to optimize business outcomes and regulatory adherence


You’ll thrive in this role if you:

  • A proven track record of building software in TypeScript or Python
  • Experience building and consuming APIs
  • Have experience working with AI systems, orchestration frameworks, or LLM evaluation tools
  • Excited by in the unique challenges of building low-latency, interruptible real-time voice systems
  • Are motivated by delivering measurable impact in regulated, high-trust domains 
  • Enjoy operating close to the customer and iterating quickly based on live data and feedback
  • Want to be part of a high-ownership, execution-focused team solving meaningful problems


Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with voice agent design, turn-taking, and dialog systems
  • Experience in financial services, healthcare, or other compliance-heavy environments
