Fully remote · Immediate joiners only, non-negotiable NeuroDrift is a US-based AI voice and enterprise software company. We are hiring one senior, hands-on engineer to own a major real-time voice AI build end to end: architecture, production code, infra, and the technical relationship with the client. You write code daily and set technical direction while doing it.

We expect you productive in week one, not month three. If you haven't shipped AI in production recently, or you've drifted into diagrams and delegation, this isn't the one. What you'll own Architecture and hands-on development of a real-time voice AI platform, end to end

ASR, LLM, and TTS wired into production: orchestration, fallbacks, latency and cost tuning

Audio ingestion pipelines from telephony, live streams, and vendor APIs

Backend, data layer, infra, deployment, and observability. You operate what you build

Breaking product requirements into tasks, guiding a pod of 3 to 6, shipping weekly

Being the technical face of the project: architecture calls, sprint reviews, client meetings What we need (4-8 years) 4-8 years building backend systems in production, with recent time leading

You still code daily: Python, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL





Real, recent AI in production: ASR, LLM APIs, RAG, evals. Integration work, not model training

Solid AWS. You deploy, debug, and operate your own services (Docker, CI/CD)

Led a pod of 3 to 6 without going hands-off Strongly preferred Voice and conversational AI: STT, TTS, real-time audio, LiveKit, WebRTC, SIP

Multi-provider model orchestration and failover

Latency work on streaming audio: barge-in, endpointing, turn-taking

How we work

Claude Code from day one. We are an AI-native team and expect you to use AI tooling to ship faster, not work around it

Small pods, weekly ships, direct client contact. No layers between you and the outcome The setup Fully remote

50 to 60 hours a week, startup pace

Primarily IST, with availability for US-time client meetings

Immediate joiners only. Non-negotiable

Compensation is competitive for a high-intensity startup build role and matched to skill, not years on a CV. If you're anchored to a large-enterprise band, we're likely not the fit This is for builders who own outcomes, not architects who delegate them.
