Job description

We are looking for a hands-on AI Engineer who can build production-grade voice agents using modern generative-AI stacks such as VAPI, ElevenLabs, Play.ai, Deepgram, OpenAI Realtime, or similar platforms.

This role is ideal for someone who is naturally curious, learns independently, and loves staying ahead of the rapidly-changing AI landscape.

What You’ll Do

  • Build, test, and deploy  real-time voice agents  that handle live customer conversations end-to-end.
  • Use tools like  VAPI, ElevenLabs, Deepgram, Whisper, Speechmatics , or other voice stacks.
  • Prototype quickly, iterate aggressively, and turn early MVPs into  production-ready agents .
  • Integrate LLMs with telephony tools, APIs, vector DBs, and backend workflows.
  • Analyze and improve conversational flows, latency, hallucinations, and overall reliability.
  • Work closely with senior engineers and founders on real customer deployments.
  • Continuously self-learn  emerging tools, frameworks, and model capabilities—and bring new ideas to the team.

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • Proven work : You’ve built at least 1–2 working voice agents or AI projects (personal, academic, hackathon, internship).
  • Strong understanding of  LLMs, prompts, retrieval , and foundational agent concepts.
  • Experience with  TTS / ASR providers  (ElevenLabs, Deepgram, Whisper, etc.).
  • Solid programming skills (Python or JS / TS preferred).
  • Ability to thrive in a  fast-paced, iterative, startup-style environment .
  • Self-learner  with a habit of exploring new tools, reading docs, watching updates, and experimenting independently.
  • Passionate about generative AI and excited by weekly releases of new models, techniques, and frameworks.
  • Bonus Skills (Nice to Have)

  • Experience with  VAPI, PlayAI, Retell, or other voice agent frameworks .
  • Familiarity with RAG, embeddings, and vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma).
  • Understanding of real-time system optimizations and low-latency design.
  • Experience deploying apps or agents to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Vercel).
  • Why Join Us

  • Build  real production voice agents  used by actual customers—not classroom demos.
  • Work directly with founders and senior engineers solving cutting-edge problems.
  • Learn extremely fast : 3 months here = 12 months anywhere else.
  • High ownership, real impact, and potential to convert to a full-time role.
  • Create a job alert for this search
