Your Role
We are growing our
Agents team
and looking for an experienced
AI Engineer (m/f/d)
to help build the next generation of
agentic AI systems
powered by
Large Language Models (LLMs)
. Today the team is small and tight-knit, and every hire meaningfully shapes what we build and how we build it.
You will work across our full agentic surface: chat, meeting preparation, recommendations, and
voice
. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of reasoning, tool-use, and memory, designing intelligent agents that operate in complex environments, interact with APIs and structured data, and drive real-world outcomes. It goes well beyond prompt engineering: you will build robust decision pipelines and ship
product-ready agents
across both
text and voice modalities
.
Proven experience building
voice agents
is an important requirement for this role. Voice is one of the most exciting frontiers of our product, and we want someone who has done it to help the whole team excel there. That said, this is not a voice-only role: you will contribute across the Intelligence Layer, and your voice background will be a force multiplier for everything we build together.
Your Mission
•
Design & Optimize Workflows
Design, implement, and optimize
agentic workflows
using LLMs across chat, meeting prep, and recommendations.
•
Build Tool-Using Agents
Create agents that interact with external APIs, databases, and environments.
•
Advance our Voice Agents
Push our
voice-enabled agents
forward, including pipeline design for real time conversation, transcription (ASR), speech synthesis (TTS), turn-taking, and dialogue management, with a focus on low latency and reliability.
•
Integrate Memory & State
Implement
retrieval, long-term memory
, and
state tracking
into agent architectures.
•
Deploy in Production
Collaborate with product teams to
deploy agents in production
and keep them healthy.
•
Evaluate & Improve
Design and run
experiments
to evaluate agent performance, correctness, latency, and hallucination rates.
•
Translate Product Needs
Turn high-level product requirements into scalable, testable agentic features.
Your profile: What you need to succeed
•
Voice AI (important requirement)
Proven, hands-on experience building
voice agents
in production and working with
ASR
,
TTS
, or real-time/streaming voice pipelines. Voice is a core focus of this hire, and we expect you to bring real depth here.
•
LLM Expertise
Strong experience building with
LLMs
(e.g., OpenAI, Claude, Mistral, open-source models).
•
Agentic Frameworks
Familiarity with
agentic frameworks
(e.g. LangChain, LangGraph).
•
Programming Proficiency
Proficient in
Python
and modern ML tooling (e.g., Hugging Face, PyTorch, Ray, etc.).
•
Tool Integration
Experience with
tool integration
, calling APIs, managing memory/state, or SQL query generation.
•
Simulation-Based Testing
Experience with
simulation-based testing and evaluation
of conversational and voice agents (e.g.
Coval
,
Bluejay
), used to measure agent performance, correctness, and regressions at scale.
•
Startup Mindset
Comfortable in an iterative, fast-paced product environment, and energized by helping a small team level up.
