About the Role
This is a senior, hands-on engineering role at the heart of our product team. You will be one of the most technical people in the room — setting the architecture for our real-time voice AI
agents and building the hardest parts of it yourself. From the systems that power live conversations to the interfaces our clients rely on, you will own how the product is engineered end to end.
We are looking for a genuine lead full-stack engineer with the depth to make architecture decisions that hold up as we scale, and the appetite to still be in the code every day. You should be as comfortable designing the backend services behind a live voice agent as you are shaping a clean interface on top of them — and comfortable being the person others turn to when something is hard.
You will work directly with the founder and product leadership on a fast-moving product, with real influence over technical direction. This is a role for someone who wants ownership at the level of "how the whole thing is built," not just individual features — and who raises the bar for
everyone around them.
What You'll Own
Set the technical direction
- Own the architecture of our core systems — the real-time voice agents, backend
- services, data and APIs — making the decisions that keep the product fast, reliable and scalable as it grows.
- Lead the hardest engineering problems and solve them personally.
- Establish engineering standards — code quality, review practices, testing and technical patterns that the team builds to.
- Drive technical strategy with the founder and product leadership — shaping the roadmap, flagging risk early, and turning product ambition into a sound technical plan.
Build the product end to end
- Design, build and ship features across the stack — backend services, APIs and front-ends — owning them from idea to production.
- Build the client-facing surfaces — dashboards, review tools and configuration interfaces that let our clients run and trust the product.
- Design and evolve the data models and APIs that hold up as we scale across clients.
Make it reliable and fast
- Own production quality — put the monitoring and alerting in place so issues are caught before clients feel them, and performance stays within target.
- Care about performance — find and fix bottlenecks across the stack.
- Build for correctness — put the testing and evaluation in place that keeps the product behaving predictably as it changes.
Lead through the team
- Mentor and grow engineers — through code review, pairing, and setting a technical example others learn from.
- Multiply the team's output — unblock others and lift the overall quality of the codebase.
- Take features from ambiguity to done — turn a rough product goal into a shipped, working capability with minimal hand-holding, and help others do the same.
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant depth across backend and a track record of owning systems, not just features.
- Strong backend engineering, ideally in Python — building and scaling production services and APIs..
- Proven architecture and system-design ability — you have designed systems that scaled, and can reason clearly about trade-offs.
- Solid fundamentals across APIs, databases and cloud infrastructure.
- Experience building real-time and/or AI-powered products — or clear, demonstrable ability to lead in this area.
- A history of technical leadership — setting standards, mentoring engineers, and being trusted with the hardest problems — while remaining hands-on.
- Excellent communication and a genuine ownership mindset — someone who can be handed an ambiguous, high-stakes problem and be trusted to see it through.
Nice to Have
- Experience working with AI / large language models in production.
- Experience with voice or other real-time products.
- Exposure to healthcare, fintech, or other regulated / high-stakes domains.
- Experience as an early or senior engineer in a startup, where you set direction and wore many hats.
About the Role
We’re building the next generation of AI-powered business software, and we’re looking for people who want to shape that future with us. With Lumen, we’re reimagining how users interact with CRM — moving beyond screens, menus and dashboards to an intelligent interface where users can simply ask AI to take actions, retrieve knowledge, generate insights and get work done. With Agent Studio, we’re enabling businesses to build, test and deploy their own AI agents for real-world workflows. And with Invorto, we’re bringing AI to voice, allowing businesses to create intelligent voice agents tailored to their customer and operational use cases.
What makes this especially exciting is the stage and scale of the opportunity. You’ll get to work on genuinely hard problems across LLMs, agents, reasoning, orchestration, voice AI, evaluation, reliability and enterprise security — not as isolated experiments, but as products used in real business workflows. You’ll have the opportunity to build zero-to-one, own meaningful parts of the product end-to-end, work closely with customers, experiment rapidly, and see your work reach production at scale.
Why join now? Because the playbook for enterprise AI is still being written. You won’t just be implementing someone else’s roadmap — you’ll help define the product, architecture and experiences that become that playbook. Expect high ownership, fast iteration, hard technical and product problems, direct customer impact, and the chance to build AI systems that have to work reliably in the real world — not just in a demo.
About the Role
We are looking for a Senior AI/ML Backend Engineer to help build the core intelligence layer powering Lumen and Agent Studio. You will design and ship production-grade backend systems that integrate LLMs into real agentic workflows — taking actions, retrieving knowledge and generating insights inside a live CRM product used by real businesses. This is a hands-on, build-focused role with direct ownership of systems that ship to production.
What You’ll Do
- Design, build and scale backend services in Python that power LLM-driven and agentic features within Lumen and Agent Studio.
- Build and productionize agentic AI systems — including planning, tool use, orchestration, memory and multi-step task execution.
- Integrate LLMs into core product workflows, focusing on reliability, latency, cost and correctness at production scale.
- Build robust APIs and services that connect AI agents with CRM data, business logic and third-party systems.
- Own evaluation, testing and monitoring for AI features to ensure they behave reliably in real-world, not just demo, conditions.
- Collaborate closely with product, design and other engineers to take features from zero to one and iterate rapidly based on real usage and customer feedback.
- Work directly with customers and customer-facing teams to understand real workflows, debug issues and translate feedback into product and engineering decisions.
What We’re Looking For
- 2–4 years of professional backend engineering experience, with strong hands-on Python skills.
- Design and build LLM-powered agentic systems using frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, or CrewAI to automate complex, multi-step workflows.
- Should be hands-on with traditional Machine learning frameworks like Pytorch, Scikit-learn
- Solid understanding of API design, backend architecture, databases and distributed systems fundamentals.
- Familiarity with LLM orchestration concepts — prompting, tool/function calling, RAG, agent frameworks, evaluation and guardrails.
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, ambiguous, zero-to-one environment where you’ll be defining as much as building.
- Strong communication skills — this is a customer-facing role, and you will be expected to clearly articulate technical concepts, decisions and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including customers.
