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 Persona Labs is building a new kind of social platform focused on something most social products do not explicitly optimize for: helping people become real friends.

We want to help people discover interesting people around them, find meaningful common ground, start low-pressure interactions, continue promising conversations, create shared experiences, and ultimately build real-life friendships.

DISCOVER → CURIOSITY → COMPATIBILITY → INTERACTION → UNDERSTAND → IRL EXPERIENCE → FRIENDSHIP

THE AI LAYER - COMPANION INTELLIGENCE

Alongside the platform, we are building a proactive personal AI companion that learns about the user and helps them navigate this journey through personalized recommendations, suggestions, reminders, conversations, and experiences. 

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are looking for a Founding ML Engineer to build the intelligence layer of the platform from the ground up. This is a 0→1 Applied AI / ML role where you will work directly with the founder and Product Engineer to turn ambiguous problems around users, relationships, recommendations and personal intelligence into working systems.

You will be expected to:

Understand the problem → identify the signals → design the intelligence system → prototype → evaluate → deploy → learn → improve.

WHAT YOU WILL BUILD & OWN

USER INTELLIGENCE

User representations, behavioural models, interests, preferences, contextual signals, and evolving understanding of the user. MEMORY Short- and long-term memory, episodic/preference/relationship memory, retrieval, relevance and updating.

RECOMMENDATION & MATCHING

People discovery, compatibility, activity/experience recommendations, and personalized ranking.

INTENT & INTEREST

Infer what the user is trying to do and learn what they care about from behaviour, not only declared interests.

RANKING

Decide what should appear first across potentially thousands of relevant people, activities or experiences.

CONTENT INTELLIGENCE

Classification, toxicity, spam, policy signals, quality, relevance, and semantic understanding.

RELATIONSHIP INTELLIGENCE

Reciprocity, interaction health, shared interests, progression, declining engagement and shared activity.

NEXT-BEST-ACTION

Determine the most useful action now: show a person, suggest a question, recommend an activity, reconnect, or do nothing.

TRUST / SAFETY INTELLIGENCE

Fake-account signals, spam, abuse, behavioural anomalies, risky interactions and moderation assistance.

COMPANION INTELLIGENCE

Use signals and outputs to help the companion decide what to say, suggest, recommend or not do. 

WHAT YOUR DAY-TO-DAY LOOKS LIKE

• Translate ambiguous product problems into ML/AI system designs.

• Build models and intelligence pipelines using behavioural, relational and contextual signals.

• Develop recommendation, matching and personalization systems.

• Design memory and retrieval systems that help the companion understand the user over time.

• Build and evaluate LLM-powered and agentic workflows.

• Decide when to use traditional ML, rules, retrieval, ranking or LLMs.

• Prototype quickly, test assumptions and iterate based on real user behaviour.

• Work closely with the founder and Product Engineer to turn intelligence into product experiences.

• Design APIs and production systems that bring ML/AI capabilities into the application.

• Build evaluation, monitoring and feedback loops so the intelligence improves over time.

WHO SHOULD APPLY

• Experience: 0–4 years’ experience, including exceptional fresh graduates. Strong 1–3 year engineers and experienced 3–4 year product builders are welcome.

• Strong foundations in ML, Python, statistics and software engineering.

• Evidence of Building: Experience with AI/ML projects, recommendation systems, LLM applications or personalization is highly valued.

• Strong evidence of building: Shipped projects, research, hackathons, internships, open source or startup work. 

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

MACHINE LEARNING DEPTH

Can you understand the modelling problem underneath the application?

RECOMMENDATION & PERSONALIZATION

Can you reason about relevance, ranking, cold start and behavioural signals?

AI ENGINEERING

Can you turn LLMs and agents into reliable product capabilities rather than simple API wrappers?

USER INTELLIGENCE

Can you design systems that gradually understand a person from sparse and changing signals?

SYSTEMS THINKING

Can you move from a model to a production system with APIs, data, latency, cost and monitoring?

EVALUATION MINDSET

Can you determine whether the intelligence actually helped the user?

PRODUCT JUDGMENT

Can you decide what the system should do when there is no predefined answer?

SPEED OF EXECUTION

Can you move from idea → prototype → evaluation → production quickly and responsibly?

BUILD WITH US

You will join at a stage where many of the answers do not exist yet. You will not simply implement a model someone else selected; you will help decide how the product learns to understand people.

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.

Good to Have

• Experience with enterprise security, reliability or observability practices for AI systems.
• Prior experience working on CRM, SaaS or other enterprise business software.
• Exposure to voice AI or real-time systems.

Mandatory Screening Criteria

Candidates should be able to:

• Explain an enterprise AI/GenAI solution they personally architected and deployed, including architecture, scale, evaluation, and business impact.
• Whiteboard an enterprise RAG or agentic solution covering data flow, security, authentication, authorization, monitoring, and cost controls.
• Discuss real-world model-quality issues, hallucinations, privacy risks, incidents, and architectural trade-offs.
• Lead a technical design review with US client stakeholders.
• Confirm acceptance of the working hours and contractual engagement.

Apply only if you have hands-on experience architecting and deploying enterprise AI/GenAI solutions in production.

What you need • • • • • • Delivered inside a regulated environment: code review, change control, a real audit trail. Based in, or able to relocate to, Bengaluru or Mumbai for the engagement. 7–15 years building production software, with .NET (C#, ASP.NET Core) as your primary stack. Python you have shipped and maintained — services, pipelines or AI components other people depend on, not occasional scripting. Hands-on work with LLMs in production: retrieval-augmented generation, prompt and agent design, and a clear account of how you evaluated whether it worked. Comfortable across SQL, REST and asynchronous integration patterns, on Azure or AWS, with CI/CD, containers and infrastructure as code. Good to have • • Migration work from .NET Framework to modern .NET. Azure OpenAI, Semantic Kernel, LangChain or LlamaIndex. • • Snowflake, including Cortex.
