Location: Onsite, 5 days per week, Carrollton, TX
Employment Type: Contract-to-Hire

About the Opportunity

Join a high-impact engineering team building next-generation conversational and communication platforms that power real-time customer interactions at scale. This team owns critical services across voice, SMS, virtual agents, and contact center integrations.
You will be part of a specialized Natural Language and Automation team, a small and highly collaborative group where each engineer has meaningful ownership and direct influence on product direction. If you are excited about AI, real-time systems, and building cutting-edge customer experiences, this is a great opportunity.

What You Will Work On

• Design and build real-time, AI-driven conversational systems supporting voice and customer interactions
• Develop intelligent virtual agents that can:
  • Understand caller intent
  • Determine call routing and disposition
  • Transition smoothly between automation and human agents
• Stream and process live voice data with a focus on low latency and scalability
• Build internal tools for prompting strategies, agent behavior, workflow orchestration, and call analytics
• Contribute across a modern communication stack including telephony platforms, contact centers, messaging, and conversational workflows

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Own services end-to-end including architecture, development, deployment, and production support
• Build scalable and highly available distributed systems
• Collaborate with product, analytics, and engineering teams
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues in real time
• Work in a DevOps-focused environment with shared ownership of infrastructure and deployments

Core Requirements

• Strong full-stack engineering experience with emphasis on backend systems
• Hands-on experience with Golang or Python in distributed environments
• Experience working with real-time or event-driven systems
• Strong experience with AWS and Kubernetes, especially EKS
• Comfortable owning infrastructure, deployments, and system reliability
• Experience with JavaScript, TypeScript, and React
• Solid understanding of API design, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization using Docker
• Experience with NoSQL databases such as MongoDB

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with telephony or VoIP systems
• Familiarity with FreeSWITCH
• Background in contact center platforms or CRM integrations
• Exposure to conversational AI or prompt engineering
• Experience with event-driven architecture
• Linux systems experience
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code such as AWS CDK or similar tools

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on cutting-edge conversational AI systems in a real-world, high-scale environment
• Join a small, high-impact team where your contributions are highly visible
• Gain exposure across AI, cloud, telephony, and distributed systems
• Opportunity to convert to a full-time role
• Strong engineering culture focused on ownership and continuous learning

Perks and Environment

• Onsite perks including meals, snacks, and team events
• Collaborative and fast-paced environment
• Strong focus on innovation and technical excellence

Impact

Your work will directly improve customer experience by making interactions faster, smarter, and more intuitive. You will help reduce friction in phone interactions and create more natural, human-like conversational experiences.
