About Us
A San Francisco based startup building next-generation Voice AI products that redefine how humans interact with machines from smart voice assistants to automated customer conversations, voice-driven tools, and more.

- Set up and manage scalable infra for voice/audio processing and AI model serving.
- Work closely with the founding team on product shaping, roadmap planning, and technical strategy.
- Continuously experiment with and evaluate new models, APIs, and speech/LLM techniques.
Who You Are
- 3-8 years of experience in AI/ML, deep learning, or backend-heavy engineering roles.
- Solid hands-on experience with speech technologies (ASR, TTS, diarization, etc.).
- Comfortable working with Python, PyTorch, Hugging Face, OpenAI, or similar frameworks.
- Experience deploying real-time systems (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP).
- Strong problem-solving skills with a product-first mindset.
