About the company
This rapidly scaling start-up is building an AI-native platform that lets enterprise clients run high-volume operations through autonomous, conversational agents — voice, chat and messaging, deployed across dozens of countries in over 60 languages, for some of the largest employers in the world.
The company's core technical challenge is multi-agent orchestration that stays rock-solid at scale — reliable, secure and observable whether it's deployed for a healthcare provider in the US or a retailer in Latin America.

reliability and scale for a production platform handling real-time, high-throughput traffic, whilst staying hands-on (writing, reviewing, debugging code).
On the management side, you'll be growing and running a high-performing AI Engineering team, scaling from ~9 to ~13 in the near future. xqbhyrx This role includes hiring, coaching, career development, performance conversations, comp discussions etc. — Deep backend engineering in Python — async/ASGI, Django/Channels, Celery + RabbitMQ/Redis
Comfort with SQL/NoSQL, cloud infra, CI/CD and production observability
Genuine people-management track record - at least 5-6 direct reports, comfortable owning performance management, salary/comp conversations and career development, not just technical leadership
Exposure to conversational/voice AI infrastructure (Twilio/IVR, STT/TTS, latency optimisation)
