About RingCentral

Power the voice of your business with RingCentral Agentic Voice AI, including AI Receptionist (AIR), AI Virtual Assistant (AVA), & AI Conversation Expert (ACE). Backed by Sequoia.

About the role

It’s not every day that you consider starting a new career. We’re RingCentral, and we’re happy that someone as talented as you is considering this role. First, a little about us, we’re a $2.6 Billion annual revenue company with double digit Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and a $93 Billion market opportunity in UCaaS, Contact Center and AI-powered adjacencies. We invest more than $250 million annually to ensure our AI-enabled technology and platforms meet or exceed the needs of our customers.

What they're looking for

  • Required
  • A strong engineer first. You write and ship production code (Python and/or TypeScript), build and debug API integrations independently, and have owned systems running in production. This is a hands-on-keyboard role
  • 4+ years in customer-facing technical work where you personally built what was deployed: forward-deployed engineering, solutions architecture with real implementation ownership, or technical consulting
  • Working depth with LLMs in production: RAG, agent orchestration, evaluation. You've debugged why an agent fails, not just demoed one that works
  • Communicates across the range: design reviews with engineers, business cases with executives, and difficult conversations with customers when a deployment needs to change course
  • Thrives with incomplete information, competing priorities, and no one telling you what to do next
