• Launch a new voice-based agent experience
• Develop an evaluation pipeline to assess and improve AI task performance
• Build multi-agent orchestration to coordinate workflows across tasks
• Make key architectural decisions across backend services and agent infrastructure

Ideally you have:

• Strong engineering background (AI/ML focus) with good product intuition
• Experience designing scalable AI-driven systems calling external models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic)
• Comfortable with startup environments and building from scratch
• Ruby on Rails (RoR) experience is a strong plus
• Excited to build production AI that real enterprise users rely on every day
