Build Tech That Could Save Lives

Client is transforming emergency response with cutting-edge AI. Our mission? Eliminate 911 delays by equipping emergency services with intelligent voice agents that handle routine tasks — so dispatchers can focus on saving lives.

We’re not building just another SaaS product. We’re building mission-critical systems that impact real people, in real time.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be a key engineer in our fast-growing team, driving innovation at the crossroads of AI, voice tech, and real-time systems:

• Build and iterate on voice-first AI features that redefine how emergency calls are handled
• Design and scale infrastructure to meet strict reliability and performance standards
• Own features across the stack — backend services, frontend interfaces, and everything in between
• Integrate LLMs like OpenAI, Cohere, or Anthropic into powerful voice workflows
• Collaborate directly with founders and help set our technical vision
• Grow into a mentorship/leadership role as the team scales

You’ll Succeed If You Have...

• Experience in real-time/concurrent programming (Elixir, Go, or similar)
• Deep familiarity with PostgreSQL and scalable backend systems
• Hands-on work with voice/audio processing
• Comfort with AI tools/LLMs (LangChain, OpenAI, etc.)
• Experience with Docker/Kubernetes and public cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• A mindset for building robust, fail-safe systems

Bonus Points For:

• Python or Node.js/TypeScript experience
• Knowledge of telephony protocols (PSTN, SIP, PBX)
• Familiarity with WebRTC or vector databases (Pinecone, Qdrant)
• Previous work on mission-critical or real-time applications

Why Join Client?

• Build tech that directly improves public safety
• Join a small, elite team with big technical ownership
• Work remotely with flexibility and autonomy
• Influence the future of AI in emergency response
