- Work with LLMs such as OpenAI, Claude and Gemini, and STT/TTS platforms such as ElevenLabs and Deepgram.
- Support integrations using APIs, webhooks, JSON, CRM and automation platforms.
- Test agents using real-world and edge-case scenarios, review transcripts/calls and continuously optimize performance.
- Support UAT, client demos and production deployments.

Candidates do not need experience with every platform. Strong hands-on experience with one Voice AI platform + one telephony platform + one major LLM is preferred.
Ideal Candidate
Someone who can take a requirement from:
Discovery → Requirement Gathering → Solution Recommendation → Conversation Design → Prompt Engineering → Voice/Telephony Configuration → Testing → UAT → Production
and independently drive the Voice AI workstream.
Hands-on production Voice AI experience is preferred over purely theoretical Prompt Engineering experience.
