About Simple AI

Deploy enterprise-ready voice AI powered phone agents in days, not weeks. Handle thousands of calls simultaneously with human-like conversations. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

Simple AI builds AI voice agents that handle real customer conversations over the phone. Our agents help businesses generate revenue and improve customer retention. We’re hiring a Platform Engineer to build and run the infrastructure behind those conversations. Real-time voice has demanding reliability requirements: latency is immediately noticeable, calls are stateful, and deployments need to happen without interrupting customers.

What they're looking for

  • Hands-on experience running Kubernetes and AWS infrastructure in production
  • Strong Terraform experience, including maintainable modules, state management, and safe infrastructure changes
  • A solid understanding of Linux, containers, networking, and distributed systems
  • Experience building CI/CD pipelines and operating services through deployments, incidents, and growth
  • Ability to write software and automation in a language such as Python, Go, or TypeScript
  • Good judgment about when to introduce new infrastructure and when to keep things simple
