Founding Engineer to build a production-grade Voice AI legal intake platform. This is the first engineering hire . The immediate challenge isn't simply building another AI prototype.

The Ideal Candidate: 4+ years of professional software engineering experience Recent applied AI experience at a strong company Voice AI or telephony exposure is highly important Proven ability to take an AI prototype into a reliable production system serving real usersStrong full-stack capability with ability to own the product end-to-end Production experience involving privacy and security Comfortable building workflows involving sensitive information and client funds Strong customer-facing ability Able to personally install/integrate the product into customer environments Comfortable working with existing phone systems and telephony integrations San Francisco Bay Area or willing to relocate Minimum 4 days/week in-office Comfortable with an intense founding-stage schedule beyond a conventional 9-to-5 Benefits Salary: $250,000 Equity: 10% #J-18808-LjbffrVacancy posted 4 days ago
