The Role

We're looking for a
Senior Software Engineer

You'll work on systems that power intelligent conversations, context-aware automation, and lightning-fast decision-making. Some of this involves voice, some text, and some pure machine learning magic, but all of it must be production-ready, scalable, and delightful to use.

• Experience with real-time communication tools like LiveKit, WebRTC, or SIP telephony
• Familiarity with conversational AI frameworks or orchestration protocols (e.g., MCP)
• Exposure to tools like ElevenLabs, Silero, or other cutting-edge voice AI providers

Responsibilities

• Build and improve AI pipelines for text, voice, and multimodal interactions
• Develop robust, low-latency inference workflows and integrate them with our product stack
• Design intelligent context management systems to make our AI smarter and more personalised
• Work with product to create conversational and automation flows that feel intuitive and helpful
• Monitor, measure, and continuously improve performance across our AI stack
• Contribute to architecture decisions and mentor other engineers in AI/ML best practices

What We Look For

• You're a self-starter who thrives on ownership and impact
• You write clean, well-structured, well-documented code
• You think about the end-user experience in everything you build
• You can balance speed with quality, shipping fast without compromising reliability
• You're curious, pragmatic, and always eager to learn

What We Offer

• Join a rocket ship
  going from $0 to 7-figure ARR in under a year, and still accelerating

• Fast-moving startup culture with flexibility and autonomy
