This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of hands-on engineering and technical leadership — partnering directly with the CTO and senior leadership to shape architecture, processes, and team productivity.

Review code and RFCs to maintain quality, consistency, and engineering standards. Establish and enforce engineering best practices and processes as the team scales. Act as a technical liaison and thought partner to the CEO, CTO, Director of Sales, and Head of Customer Success. Contribute actively to the codebase (~20–30% of your time). Raise the overall productivity and maturity of the engineering organization. What We're Looking For Required: 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with recent roles as a Staff Engineer or Tech Lead. Proven leadership and people management experience — you've led engineering teams and mentored engineers. Strong background in software architecture, cloud platforms (Microsoft Azure preferred; AWS/GCP also relevant), and full-stack development. Hands-on experience with LLMs and conversational AI / voice technology — this is a hard requirement. Experience working in fast-growing startups or scale-ups and shipping quality product under pressure. Excellent project management, prioritization, and organizational skills. Strong people skills and genuine business acumen — you think about how technical decisions affect revenue and customers. Ability and willingness to work in-office in San Francisco, CA. Right to work in the United States (no visa sponsorship available). Nice to Have: Prior leadership experience in a conversational AI or voice technology product. Experience deploying ML/NLP models in production at scale in cloud-based SaaS environments. Track record of advocating technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders across go-to-market and customer-facing functions.
