About the company
Every 10 minutes 18 million conversations happen between businesses and consumers around the world. For decades the consumer side of those conversations sucked: long queues robotic menus repeated explanations and unhelpful advice. Most people today still cant simply say what their problem is in natural language when communicating with businesses.

AI changes that. For the first time companies can have natural conversations with customers at massive scale. Every B2C company - from energy providers to telcos to insurers - will use AI agents to talk to their customers. The number of conversations businesses will handle is going to explode in the coming years.

Were solving the challenges that come with that shift. Leading B2C companies like Sky are already using our platform to deploy thousands of voice agents and deliver a genuinely new customer experience. Building a first voice agent is easy - getting it to drive real outcomes for customers and businesses is the hard part. We help companies build deploy and improve consumer-facing AI voice agents at scale. This will become one of the most important software categories of the next decade.

We are a small AI-pilled team that likes to solve hard engineering product or GTM - we build experiment and move fast while heavily leveraging the capabilities of AI models. We take real ownership challenge ourselves and keep a low-ego culture.

Ideal candidate
The ideal candidate is an engineer with a proven Ill figure it out mentality and a strong bias for action evidenced by side projects entrepreneurial ventures or clear ownership of significant projects in past roles. They must have strong engineering fundamentals and experience building or debugging reliable scalable distributed systems. Specific AI/voice experience is less critical than the ability to tackle novel ambiguous technical problems with speed and ownership. The culture is extremely fast-paced high-trust and AI-pilled. They ship to production on day one without code reviews. Candidates must be energized by a high-agency act then fix environment and close collaboration not intimidated by it. They are looking for people obsessed with solving problems not just building cool tech.

What we look for
Velocity - everything you do you do with speed
High Agency - Ill figure it out mentality
High Ownership - nobody has to tell you what to do; you just do things
First Principles Thinking - you dont take what people say at face value; you understand the underlying problem
