About This Role

As a Backend Engineer, you'll build the core systems behind our voice AI agents. You'll architect the real-time pipelines that process live speech, orchestrate LLM-powered conversations, manage concurrent voice sessions at scale, and ensure every call is fast, reliable, and intelligent. This means working hands-on with real-time audio processing, speech-to-text and text-to-speech pipelines, LLM orchestration, telephony (SIP/Asterisk), and distributed backend infrastructure. You'll work daily with Python, FastAPI, Pipecat, LiveKit (WebRTC), Celery, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Kubernetes.

What You'll Do
Build and optimize real-time voice AI pipelines — speech recognition (STT), LLM processing, and speech synthesis (TTS) running in sub-second loops
Design and maintain the backend services that manage voice agent sessions, call routing, and telephony integration (SIP/Asterisk)
Architect multi-agent orchestration systems — conversation flows, agent hand-offs, and context passing between voice AI agents
Build and scale the infrastructure for handling thousands of concurrent voice calls with low latency
Develop and optimize WebSocket and WebRTC-based real-time communication layers
Implement and manage distributed task processing for batch calling campaigns, call analytics, and post-call AI analysis
Architect, optimize, and maintain PostgreSQL databases, Redis caching, and message queues
Implement observability across voice pipelines: latency tracking, call quality metrics, distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry, Sentry)
Handle production debugging of real-time voice systems — diagnosing audio quality issues, latency spikes, and session failures
Work closely with AI, product, and DevOps teams to ship voice AI features end-to-end

Who You Are
Strong proficiency in Python with deep understanding of async/await and real-time concurrency patterns
Experience building production backend systems with FastAPI or similar async frameworks
Deep understanding of PostgreSQL, relational database design, and ORM patterns
Experience with real-time systems — WebSockets, streaming, audio pipelines, or low-latency communication
Hands-on experience with distributed task processing (Celery, Redis)
Comfortable owning production systems end-to-end, from design to deployment to incident response
Thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments where voice AI is the core product

Nice to Have
Experience with voice AI, conversational AI, or speech processing (STT, TTS, VAD)
Experience with telephony systems (SIP, Asterisk, WebRTC)
Familiarity with AI/LLM orchestration (OpenAI, LangChain, LangGraph, Pipecat, Livekit)
Experience with real-time audio f
