AI Engineer
We are working with a startup building a next-gen, AI-native physical device. They are creating a new category of ambient hardware that turns daily real-world audio inputs into hyper-personalized, actionable user insights.
The Role
Our client is looking for a hands-on AI Engineer to own their core intelligence layer. This is a 0→1 product role where you will bridge streaming real-world audio with complex context engineering. You’ll optimize low-latency streaming pipelines (STT/TTS/VAD) and build intelligent context windows and vector-based long-term memory retrieval systems so the platform can accurately recall past interactions and notice subtle behavioral trends.
What We’re Looking For
-
Experience: 5-8 years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production-grade AI architectures in a fast-paced startup environment.
-
Domain Expertise: Deep technical experience with voice/audio AI data processing, streaming audio APIs, and LLM/LMM orchestration.
-
Product Mindset: A strong passion for building consumer-facing, AI-native products where model behavior directly drives user empathy and trust.
-
Logistics: Located in SF, USA (in-person).
Comp & Equity
-
$230,000 – $300,000 base salary + up to 1% equity.
