Job DescriptionAbout Our Client
Our client is a fast-growing YC-backed AI startup building real-time, voice-first AI agents for enterprise clients. Their product enables intelligent phone-based agents to handle complex workflows - from replacing credit cards to extending car rentals - all powered by large language models.
They are on a mission to redefine how businesses communicate with their customers through voice-enabled AI that actually works in production.
Why Join Them?

Role Overview
As an AI Engineer, you’ll own the full deployment lifecycle of real-world AI voice agents. You’ll scope requirements, configure custom agents, lead integrations, and partner closely with customers and internal teams to ship production-ready systems. This role blends product iteration, technical deployment, and customer-facing execution.
You’ll play a key role in expanding their customer base and product functionality, collaborating with Engineering, Product, and Customer Success teams.
