Why Join Us

We’re looking for an AI Agent Engineer to lead the charge in building and deploying enterprise-grade Voice, Chat AI agents and AI Copilot. This role is hands-on, customer-facing, and pivotal in bringing AI solutions to life - from design and integration to deployment and optimization.

You’ll own the end-to-end lifecycle of AI agents: building, integrating, testing, demoing to clients, deploying into production, and tuning performance.

What you’ll be doing

• Build & Deploy Agents: Own the implementation of AI agents including prompt design, workflow configuration, integrations, telephony setup, and evaluation frameworks.
• Client Engagement: Act as the primary technical partner for customers—lead regular demos, communicate progress, gather feedback, and guide solutions from concept to production.
• Systems Integration: Configure and connect systems using APIs—handling authentication, data mapping, error handling, and integrations with CRMs, knowledge bases, and other enterprise tools.
• Telephony Integration: Set up SIP/CCaaS/PSTN routing, pass metadata, configure fallbacks, and troubleshoot call quality.
• Prompt Design & Optimization: Write and refine prompts for LLM-driven agents, monitor performance, test iteratively, and ensure agents meet automation and containment targets.
• Strategic Partner: Translate customer requirements into actionable solutions; work consultatively to unblock challenges in security, connectivity, or knowledge ingestion.
• Cross Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with product/engineering teams to escalate platform gaps and resolve deep technical fixes and platformization, while independently driving leading client implementations.

What you’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
• 3+ years in conversational AI, solution engineering, system integration, or delivering AI/LLM-based applications in customer environments, software engineering, or system integration with hands-on delivery of AI/LLM-based solutions.
• Strong ability to communicate and  lead customer-facing discussions - from deep technical troubleshooting to weekly project demos. Ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences. 
• Must have strong hands-on skills in prompt design, workflow building and API integration (SIP, Twilio, Amazon Connect, etc.).
• Familiarity with LLMs (GPT, Claude, Gemini), vector DBs, and orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.).
• Working knowledge of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) concepts, implementation patterns and performance optimization.
• Programming experience in Python, JavaScript, or similar for scripting and integrations
• Strong problem-solving mindset: ability to find workarounds, unblock integrations, and adapt to customer-specific ecosystems. 
• Experience with integration tools and Integration Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS) providers, such as n8n, Zapier, or similar platforms and proficiency in API integrations and data flow management is a plus.
• Familiarity with telephony or voice systems (SIP, CCaaS, PSTN) is a plus. 

Why You’ll Love It Here
