AI Engineering
New YorkFull RemoteFull-time

About the Role

Join an early-stage AI company building multimodal agents for customer conversations across voice, SMS, and email. You will own a core product or engineering domain end to end, working closely with customers and the team to shape the product and bring improvements into production.

What You'll Do

  • Own a product or infrastructure domain from architecture through daily production releases.

  • Speak with customers, synthesize feedback, and make product decisions without a dedicated product manager.

  • Build and optimize multimodal agents, including low-latency voice experiences and persistent conversation state across channels.

  • Set quality practices for non-deterministic systems, including evaluations, prompt versioning, guardrails, and drift detection.

  • Work across React and Next.js frontends, Node.js backends, and Python services.

What We're Looking For

  • Three to eight years of full-stack engineering experience, with a track record of shipping and scaling products from early development into broader use.

  • Production proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, React, and Next.js, plus experience building Python services.

  • Hands-on experience shipping production systems with LLM APIs or agent SDKs.

  • Depth in at least one area: production voice or SMS agents, long-running agent state and memory, agent evaluations and guardrails, or B2B2C and marketplace products.

  • Experience making independent product decisions, conducting customer discovery, and owning projects through launch.

  • Strong AI or agentic systems experience, including work with low-latency requirements and unpredictable system behavior. Voice pipeline or evaluation tooling experience is useful.

  • Comfort working in an early-stage environment with changing priorities and limited process.
