- Design A/B tests to optimize business outcomes and regulatory adherence

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

- A proven track record of building software in TypeScript or Python

- Experience building and consuming APIs

- Have experience working with AI systems, orchestration frameworks, or LLM evaluation tools

- Excited by in the unique challenges of building low-latency, interruptible real-time voice systems

- Are motivated by delivering measurable impact in regulated, high-trust domains like finance or healthcare

- Enjoy operating close to the customer and iterating quickly based on live data and feedback

- Want to be part of a high-ownership, execution-focused team solving meaningful problems

Nice to Have

- Familiarity with voice design, turn-taking, and dialog systems

- Experience in financial services, healthcare, or other compliance-heavy environments

- Fluency in Spanish
