Our AI Voice & Telephony Engineering Team builds the systems that power intelligent conversations, using AI to create natural, human-like interactions at scale. We’re building voice experiences that connect customers to the right solutions faster and more effectively. As a Software Engineer, you’ll build and maintain scalable, cloud-based services that enable real-time voice interactions across our platform. You’ll work with engineers, product managers, and data scientists to bring conversational AI into production.
What You’ll Do
- Own end-to-end delivery of features, from technical design and implementation through testing, deployment, and monitoring.
- Build and maintain services that power call routing, speech processing, and AI-driven conversations using Twilio, AWS, Azure, and internal APIs.
- Work with product, data science, and other engineering teams to deliver AI-powered voice experiences.
- Contribute to architectural decisions and system design.
- Build solutions that are scalable, secure, and maintainable.
- Improve system performance, latency, and reliability across a distributed, event-driven stack.
- Participate in code reviews to maintain high standards and share knowledge.
- Improve tooling, automate repetitive work, and contribute to shared development practices.
- Participate in on-call rotations and troubleshoot production issues to keep services running reliably.
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Experience with Twilio Voice, Programmable Voice APIs, or similar voice/IVR platforms.
- Experience integrating speech recognition, text-to-speech, or LLM-based conversational AI.
- Languages: Strong proficiency in Python and TypeScript/Node.js.
- Cloud Infrastructure: Experience building and operating services in AWS, such as Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch, or ECS/Fargate.
- APIs: Experience building RESTful APIs and working with event-driven systems.
- CI/CD: Experience with CI/CD pipelines, such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar.
- Testing: Experience writing automated tests, including unit and integration tests.
- Observability: Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools such as Datadog, New Relic, or OpenTelemetry.
- Databases: Familiarity with relational databases and a working knowledge of SQL.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Clear communication skills and experience collaborating across teams.
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with frameworks for building real-time voice and multimodal conversational AI agents, such as Pipecat, or LiveKit.
- Experience with WebSockets or messaging technologies such as SNS/SQS, Kafka, or Redis Streams.
- Understanding of serverless architectures.
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or AWS CDK.
- Experience with load testing.
