## About the role

You'll sit at the intersection of our product and our customers, deeply embedded with the teams building the most advanced voice AI agents in production today. Some days that means writing code. Other days it means shaping evaluation strategy. Every day it means making customers wildly successful.

## What they're looking for

- • You write code in Python and/or TypeScript and you're comfortable working across APIs, integrations, and customer-facing technical problems
- • You get energy from customers. Staying up late to ship something that unblocks a customer sounds like a good night, not a bad one
- • You can zoom in on a specific technical problem and zoom back out to see how it fits the bigger picture
- • You move fast but you know the difference between a smart experiment and technical debt that'll haunt you
- • You're curious about voice AI and evaluation, or you're the kind of person who gets obsessive about whatever domain you land in
