## About the role

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to be a technical driver on Tavus's Conversational Video Interface, our multimodal real-time conversational product. It's a hands-on role. Your code runs in the middle of live conversations between people and PALs.

## What they're looking for

- You're proactive. When you see an issue, you fix it. Nobody has to ask
- You're autonomous. Given a loosely defined project, you figure out what "done" means, make the judgment calls, and deliver
- You're energized by unfamiliar problems. A lot of the work here has no playbook, and you'll take on projects outside your direct experience
- You adapt as priorities evolve. This space moves fast, and the most important thing to build can change as we learn. When it does, you adjust and keep moving
- You hold a high bar. What matters to you is how the product feels to the person on the other end of the conversation. Clean code and clever architecture are means to that end
- You're passionate about the future of interfaces. How people and computers interact is being reinvented right now, and you want a hand in shaping it
