About You
We're looking for hungry, high-throughput generalist engineers as we scale into the multi-millions over the next 6 months. You might want to start your own company one day, but aren’t sure what to build yet. You might have spent time at a larger unicorn and want to join a fast growing startup with PMF.
You will:
Get a clear view into engineering, product, go-to-market, and the iterative loop that connects all 3
Learn the Vertical AI playbook
how to embed into an industry, learn the domain, and build LLM-driven workflows to automate it.
How to generate demand with modern GTM techniques across B2B and B2C
What You'll Build
Voice and SMS agents that automate the 24/7 shift lifecycle (confirmations, clock-ins, notes, last-minute coverage)
LLM orchestration across prompt engineering, tool use, context management, and evals that keep agents reliable as we scale
Internal ops tooling so our team can monitor agent performance, handle edge cases, and onboard new customers fast
Reliability and observability improvements across our voice and messaging infrastructure
Full-stack features from data model to API to UI, shipped to real customers within days
Your First 90 Days
Month 1: Ship something real. You'll pair-program with the team immediately and ship features within your first week. By the end of month one, you'll own a complete feature from design to production.
Month 2: Go deep on the orchestration layer. You'll improve reliability and observability across our voice and messaging stack, and contribute to how we evaluate agent quality at scale.
Month 3: Take ownership. You'll scope and lead a feature area yourself, such as a new EHR integration, an improvement to the talent agent product, or better tooling for our ops team.
