Job Summary

Manage product development activities and oversee end-to-end engineering deliverables for Voice AI, Chat AI, and Contact Center Integrations. Lead a team of engineers by identifying strengths, providing career development, and proactively elevating performance. Drive monthly release cycles with product management, ensuring engineering excellence and code quality while fostering collaboration across global teams. Design conversational experiences across chat and voice, build AI-native applications with agentic behavior, and decompose business processes into autonomous workflows. Specify precise requirements for AI coding agents, own quality and safety in production by monitoring hallucinations and defending against prompt injection, and collaborate with product, design, and engineering to define success criteria. Solve ambiguous problems by providing clear direction and applying structured decision-making.

Required Qualifications

  • A demonstrated track record of building, shipping, and operating production software, including hands-on delivery of AI-native application features that real users depend on rather than demos
  • Direct experience authoring agentic instructions and prompts
  • Designing AI-driven autonomous workflows
  • Building the evaluation and testing that verifies them
  • Experience delivering conversational experiences in chat and voice
  • Willingness to work directly with customers in a forward deployed capacity
  • Prior forward deployed experience
  • Minimum of 8 years of related experience
  • Bachelor's degree
  • 6 years and a Master's degree
  • 5+ years of experience as a technical lead for technical teams
  • Strong command of data structures, algorithms, system design, APIs, data modeling, and testing
  • Hands-on experience building applications where model-driven behavior is central — agent orchestration at the application layer, tool and function calling, context assembly, grounding against enterprise data, and handling latency, cost, and failure
  • Demonstrated experience designing workflows in which agents carry out multi-step business processes with limited supervision: process decomposition, decision points and autonomy boundaries, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, exception and retry handling, and observability over what the agent did and why
  • Practical experience across chat and voice, including Voice AI: turn and context management, intent and entity handling, disambiguation and confirmation patterns, automated-to-human handoff, and the latency and speech recognition constraints voice adds
  • Demonstrated skill writing and maintaining the natural-language logic that governs agent behavior — instructions, role definitions, tool descriptions, guardrails, and refusal and escalation rules — with versioning, review, and regression coverage applied as they would be to code
  • Intent-driven prompt design: decomposition, golden and few-shot examples, structured output and schema enforcement, grounding and citation, and disciplined iteration against evaluation results rather than impressions
  • Ability to build measurable frameworks assessing response quality, agent behavior, tool-selection accuracy, and regression risk — golden datasets, scenario suites, model-as-judge scoring with human calibration, continuous evaluation pipelines, and drift detection — plus adversarial, jailbreak, and grounding testing
  • Ability to define problems rigorously enough that another engineer or an AI agent implements them correctly, and to decide soundly when to solve a problem in code, in instructions, or by delegating to an agent
  • Working knowledge of risks specific to AI-integrated applications — prompt injection, sensitive-data and secret leakage, over-broad tool access, unsafe autonomous action — translated into concrete guardrails, least-privilege controls, and monitoring
  • Experience in managing cross-functional teams with combined engineering and quality responsibilities

Desired Qualifications

  • Advanced degrees or certifications
  • Voice and contact center technology. Telephony and contact center platforms, IVR, speech recognition and synthesis, streaming audio, and real-time latency optimization
  • Conversation design partnership. Experience working alongside conversation or content designers, contributing to dialogue flow, tone, and error-recovery design
  • Evaluation and observability tooling. Evaluation frameworks, prompt and instruction management tooling, tracing for LLM applications, and analysis of production transcripts at scale
  • Enterprise domain depth. Customer service, contact center operations, sales, or enterprise workflow, at a depth sufficient to challenge a requirement rather than only implement it
