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.
Founded by an experienced team with two prior successful exits, backed by a top-tier European VC, and already trusted by household-name enterprise customers.
About the role You'll be the technical bridge between the company and enterprise customers in your market — understanding their workflows, configuring and extending the AI systems to fit,
and staying accountable for real production outcomes, not just a go-live.
This is a heavily hands-on role: most of your time is spent building and deploying (70%), with the client-facing side being 30%. You'll turn what you learn in the field into reusable modules and playbooks that speed up every deployment after yours.
