  • Rapidly gain proficiency in the full tech stack, from backend systems to real-time streaming and frontend surfaces.
  • Translate customer needs into technical solutions that move the business forward.
  • Triage and resolve complex technical issues across the stack, ensuring stability and a seamless user experience.
  • Proactively identify opportunities to improve our technology and development processes, contributing ideas and solutions.
  • Grow cultural and technical influence by demonstrating strong execution, technical excellence, and alignment with the company culture.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of hands-on backend engineering experience, with a proven track record of delivering production systems at scale.
  • Deep expertise in backend development using languages such as Node.js, Python, or Go, and strong experience building on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or similar).
  • Solid understanding of real-time systems, including WebRTC, streaming architectures, and low-latency APIs.
  • Experience deploying AI-powered models into production environments, especially in areas such as speech, vision, or conversational AI.
  • Exceptional collaboration and communication skills, comfortable working across diverse teams including frontend, infrastructure, research, sales, and customer success.
  • A self-starter with a growth mindset—motivated to take ownership, solve hard problems, and grow into a leadership role over time.
  • Bonus

  • Proven experience building and scaling real-time interactive systems such as voice / video chat, live customer support platforms, or virtual agents.
  • Prior experience with avatars, virtual assistants, or generative media technologies.
  • Familiarity with large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini, and prompt orchestration pipelines.
  • Startup founder or early-stage builder mindset—hungry to win, scrappy, and deeply motivated by urgency and impact.
  • Why Join Us?

  • Be part of one of the fastest-growing companies at the intersection of AI and media.
  • Work with a team of world-class researchers, engineers, and creatives.
