About the Role
Join an early-stage B2B SaaS team as its founding AI engineer, building the core of a real-time voice agent that conducts sales conversations and product demos. You will guide the agent's technical direction and help shape a product already serving paying customers.
What You'll Do
Build the agent's reasoning, tool use, and memory, including ways to recover when live conversations go off script while meeting strict latency requirements.
Develop evaluation pipelines and use real sales-call data to drive measurable improvements, including fine-tuning where useful.
Improve the reliability of browser automation so the agent can run product demos while speaking with buyers.
Ship product features end to end using TypeScript, Node.js, and Next.js.
Work directly with customers and design partners to shape the product and set priorities for models, architecture, and capabilities.
What We're Looking For
Four to seven years of experience as an AI engineer, with production ownership of AI agents across the development and deployment workflow.
At least one year of experience with real-time or voice AI systems, such as WebRTC, LiveKit, streaming, or other low-latency applications.
Hands-on experience in voice AI, AI sales, browser agents, or a fast-growing AI environment.
Proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, and Next.js, plus experience with LLM APIs, evaluations, observability, and cost optimization.
Experience with browser automation tools such as Playwright is valuable.
A CS degree or another technical background, such as mathematics, physics, or engineering.
Customer-facing engineering experience, startup or founding-team experience, or background in sales technology is useful.
Willingness and ability to work on-site in New York from the first day.

Base salary is $200,000 to $250,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available. Equity details were not provided.
