We’re moving fast, and the numbers speak for themselves:
- Partnered with enterprise brands like Google, AAA, Ro, Coursera

- Completed 500M+ calls
- Driven $7B revenue for customers
- Scaled to $##M ARR
- Built amazing NYC (Midtown) in office culture
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Lead and grow a team of 3–5 engineers. Set clear expectations, support career development, and hold a high hiring bar.
- Own the Builder team's roadmap, balancing near-term customer unblocks against longer-term platform investments, and make those tradeoffs visible to stakeholders.
- Stay hands-on: expect roughly 50% of your time on technical work such as code reviews, design reviews, debugging production issues, and shipping code when the team needs it.
- Partner with Product, FDE, and go-to-market teams to translate customer requests into product capabilities that scale across customers.
- Remove blockers for your team, whether that means adjusting processes, pairing on a hard debugging session, or resolving cross-functional friction.
- Be actively involved in hiring: sourcing, interviewing, and onboarding.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN:
- Journeys: Regal's workflow automation product, used by every customer. You'll own its roadmap, reliability, and evolution as customer use cases get more complex.
- Integrations: The connections between Regal and our customers' systems, from traditional SaaS applications to newer MCP-server integrations. They need to be reliable, observable, and built to scale with data volume.
- FDE tooling: Internal tools that help our Forward Deployed Engineering team configure, launch, and iterate on voice agents faster.
- Platform leverage: Turning recurring one-off customer requests into reusable product capabilities, so each new deployment takes less custom work than the last.
ABOUT YOU:
- 6+ years of experience in software engineering, with a strong track record as a Senior IC.
- 1-3 years of experience managing a team
- Hands-on experience with Python and Typescript, you can still write and debug code at a senior level, even if you now do it less often
- Experience building and owning third-party integrations at high data volume, including failure handling, retries, rate limits, and changing external APIs
- System design credibility that earns trust with senior ICs and lets you make sound architectural calls across services, data flows, and integrations
- Experience leading a team through shifting priorities or scope. You help the team take on new kinds of problems rather than waiting for a stable spec
- A track record of mentoring engineers and helping them grow, plus strong written and verbal communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience with AWS (e.g., Lambda, SQS, Kinesis), event-driven or streaming systems, and Kubernetes-based deployments
- Experience building workflow automation tools or orchestration products
- Experience building on or with MCP servers, agent tool-calling, or LLM-based integrations
- Experience leading teams that make effective use of AI coding agents, with consistent and efficient workflows
