Founding AI Engineer

About the Role

Join an early-stage SaaS team as its Founding AI Engineer and lead development of a real-time AI voice agent for sales conversations. You will own the agents technical direction and help shape a product already serving paying customers.
What Youll Do

Build the agents reasoning, tool use, memory, and ability to recover when live conversations go off script while meeting low-latency requirements.

Develop evaluation pipelines and use sales-call data to drive measurable improvements, including fine-tuning where appropriate.

Improve the reliability of browser automation so the agent can demonstrate a product in a live call.

Ship end-to-end product work using TypeScript, Node.js, and Next.js, working with customers and design partners.

Set technical direction for models and methods, and decide what to build, buy, and develop next.

What Were Looking For

Four to seven years of experience as an AI engineer, including hands-on experience shipping AI agents end-to-end in production.

At least one year working with real-time or voice AI systems, such as WebRTC, LiveKit, streaming, or other low-latency applications.

Experience in voice AI, AI sales, browser agents, or another fast-growing AI environment.

Proficiency with TypeScript, Node.js, and Next.js, plus experience with LLM APIs, evaluation, observability, and cost optimization.

Experience with browser automation tools such as Playwright is useful.

A computer science degree or another technical background, such as mathematics, physics, or engineering.
