Ensure scalability: Build reliable systems that support thousands of concurrent interactions with strong performance.
Run rapid experiments: Evaluate cutting‑edge text/voice models, fine‑tune, live A/B test, and iterate within tight feedback loops.
Elevate the platform: Surface patterns and opportunities across customers to inform product and engineering roadmaps.
What You’ll Bring:
Production systems: Experience building and maintaining production systems using Python (asyncio, FastAPI) and TypeScript (Node, React).
AI systems: Hands-on experience with LLM, TTS and speech APIs, fine-tuning models, vector databases, RAG, and evaluation frameworks.
Performance focus: Ability to meet SLAs, resolve issues, and optimize systems for speed and reliability at scale.

What We Do
We help essential service industries grow on autopilot. Essential services power the real economy. Every one of us interacts with these industries repeatedly throughout our lives. But these large businesses face real-world constraints—human labor, external volatility, compliance, logistics, and physical infrastructure. Their operations are complex and often rely on outdated systems and manual workflows, and they can’t access the frontier technologies that drive digital-first businesses. In a world where startups mostly build for startups, we serve the large enterprises in real industries and end users that keep America running. We're a small team of relentless builders, ex-founders, and immigrants from top CS schools and tech companies who thrive on solving hard problems and making a tangible impact. We are backed by the best investors and founders of our generation.
