About the role

About the Role

Join an early-stage B2B SaaS team as its founding AI engineer, building the core of a real-time voice agent that supports sales conversations and product demos. You will own the agent's technical direction, from architecture and model choices to measuring and improving performance.

What You'll Do

  • Build agent reasoning, tool use, memory, and recovery for live conversations, while meeting tight latency requirements.
  • Develop evaluation pipelines and use call data to drive measurable improvements, including fine-tuning where it is effective.
  • Improve the reliability of browser automation so the agent can demonstrate products in a live browser while speaking with buyers.
  • Ship product features end to end using TypeScript, Node.js, and Next.js.
  • Work with customers and design partners to shape the product, and set direction on models, methods, and build-versus-buy decisions.

What We're Looking For

  • Four to seven years of AI engineering experience, including hands-on experience shipping AI agents in production from end to end.
  • At least one year working with real-time or voice AI systems, such as WebRTC, LiveKit, streaming, or other low-latency applications.
  • Experience with agent evaluation, observability, and cost optimization, plus TypeScript, Node.js, and Next.js.
  • Background in voice AI, AI sales, browser agents, sales technology, or another fast-growing AI product environment.
  • Experience with browser automation tools such as Playwright and working directly with customers or design partners is valuable.
  • A computer science degree or another technical background, with strong technical fundamentals.
