I'm working with a YC-backed startup that's pioneering voice AI agents for the legal industry - one of the most complex and high-stakes environments for conversational AI. Their agents handle everything from client intake to case updates, replacing entire admin and intake teams with high-accuracy automation.
They've recently closed a fresh funding round and are building out their core technical team. The founders have already cracked some of the hardest challenges in voice AI - Real Time comprehension, legal-specific nuance, and long-tail edge cases - and are now looking for a Founding Engineer to join the team in-person in San Francisco (6 days/week).
What they're looking for:
- Experience with voice AI agents or low-latency, production-grade AI applications
- 2-15 years of experience, ideally at startups or YC-backed companies
- Strong CS fundamentals (top 20 computer science programs preferred)
- Ability to thrive in a hands-on, fast-moving environment with undefined boundaries
- Flexible on stack (they currently use Azure and JavaScript, but open to all backgrounds)
They're offering a competitive compensation package and meaningful early equity
