Job Description

Founding Customer-Facing AI Engineer

Location: San Carlos, CA (Onsite)

Compensation: $200K – $310K base + bonus + equity

Visa Sponsorship Available

A fast-moving AI company is looking for a Founding Forward Deployed Engineer to join a small, dynamic team helping enterprise clients implement intelligent voice agents in high-impact environments. This hybrid role blends engineering, product, and customer success—and is perfect for someone who thrives in both technical deep-dives and customer-facing problem-solving.

If you’re energized by fast iteration, direct customer collaboration, and seeing your solutions make an immediate difference in the real world, this is your kind of role.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Work hand-in-hand with enterprise clients to deploy voice-based AI solutions in production
  • Embed with customer teams to navigate complex systems, deliver custom integrations, and ensure successful adoption
  • Lead technical workshops, run demos, and provide hands-on support throughout onboarding and deployment
  • Act as a feedback loop between customer needs and internal product/engineering teams to guide roadmap priorities
  • Troubleshoot roadblocks, improve documentation, and build scalable tooling to accelerate implementation
  • Travel as needed to customer locations, deliver expert support, and ensure seamless rollouts
  • Collaborate across departments to ensure the company is delivering measurable results for customers

What You Bring:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
  • 1+ year of experience in a technical role (software engineering, systems integration, or similar)
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills—you can clearly explain complex topics to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Comfortable working across both engineering and sales functions; highly collaborative and results-driven
  • Fast-moving and adaptable—able to manage multiple priorities and pivot quickly as needs evolve
  • Passionate about learning and eager to grow with a mission-driven team

Perks & Benefits:

  • 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Free daily meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and unlimited snacks
  • Gym access and commuter reimbursement
  • Internet and mobile phone expenses covered
  • Visa and green card sponsorship

This is a unique opportunity to join a venture-backed startup at the ground floor and help shape how voice AI transforms enterprise workflows. If you're someone who thrives at the intersection of engineering and real-world impact, you'll find both challenge and purpose here.
