Junior AI Engineer (Voice Agents)

About the Role

You will help scale our Voice AI Agent (telephony + STT + LLM + TTS) into an enterprise-grade product. This includes building real-time speech / LLM pipelines, barge-in and human takeover flows, data loops for model improvement, and natural interruption handling.

What You’ll Do

• Implement and tune real-time STT / ASR and TTS pipelines.
• Orchestrate LLM-driven conversations : prompting, function calling, dialog state, and context handling.
• Build barge-in logic and reliable human handoff signals.
• Create datasets for training : recordings, redaction, labeling, metadata; enable search and retrieval.
• Optimize latency, accuracy, turn-taking, and cost.
• Add guardrails, fallbacks, and basic A / B experimentation.
