About The Role

We're seeking a hands-on AI Solutions Engineer with a passion for prompt engineering and conversational AI to help design, build, and optimize voice-based AI agents. This role sits at the intersection of GenAI development and real-world deployment, focused primarily on crafting high-quality prompts and personas for voice bots used in demos and client environments.

You'll work closely with internal stakeholders across the sales, solutions and delivery teams— ensuring that our AI voice agents are accurate, reliable, and tailored to client workflows.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with cutting-edge LLMs, thrives in ambiguity, and wants to contribute meaningfully to the evolution of AI-powered voice experiences.
