Our client is a high-growth, YC-backed AI company at the forefront of voice automation for financial services. They are redefining how humans and machines communicate, building emotionally intelligent voice agents that can listen, reason, and respond with human-like nuance.
This is far from a typical AI prompt role. This is for a visionary hacker โ someone who can dream five years ahead in voice AI, yet still spend evenings iterating on models, refining dialogue, and perfecting tone and pacing. If you live for the craft โ if hearing an AI-generated voice makes you immediately think about how to make it more natural, persuasive, and human โ this is the role for you.
The Role
As a Voice Agent Designer / Prompt Engineer, you will lead the design, testing, and continuous improvement of AI-driven voice agents. You will operate at the intersection of language, emotion, and engineering, shaping frameworks and dialogue systems that define nextโgeneration customer experiences. This role requires balancing longโterm strategic vision with handsโon experimentation. You will shape the companyโs voice AI roadmap while refining prosody, writing prompts, and debugging realโtime dialogue.
What Youโll Do
- Design and refine multiโturn, emotionally aware conversational flows for AI voice agents.
- Translate complex business rules and compliance requirements into intuitive, humanโlike dialogue.
- Tune and experiment with synthesis models to optimize tone, pacing, and emotional cadence.
- Conduct A/B testing and humanโinโtheโloop QA to drive continuous agent improvement.
- Prototype tools and frameworks to scale voice agent quality across diverse use cases.
- Own the roadmap for voice capabilities, defining what โgreatโ sounds like and leading the team to achieve it.
- Collaborate crossโfunctionally with product, data, and operations to translate vision into productionโready systems.
What You Bring
- 3+ years of experience in voice AI design, conversational engineering, or applied LLM prompt architecture.
- A portfolio or proven track record of productionโgrade voice systems (bonus: fintech or regulated sectors).
- Handsโon experience with OpenAI Realtime, GPTโ4o, ElevenLabs, Deepgram, or similar tools.
- A hacker mindset โ you thrive on building, testing, and iterating.
- A balance of actionโoriented execution and longโterm strategic thinking.
- Deep curiosity about human communication โ tone, rhythm, empathy, and persuasion.
- Comfort operating in fastโpaced, highโstakes environments with autonomy and accountability.
This Role Is Not for You If
- You are broadly interested in AI but not deeply passionate about voice.
- You prefer theoretical debates over handsโon experimentation.
- You seek a role with narrow scope or rigid boundaries.
Why This Role Matters
- This is a foundational hire โ your work will touch every voice product the company ships.
- You will shape the longโterm AI strategy while remaining deeply involved in the craft, bridging technical excellence with creative intuition.
- Youโll collaborate with top operators from leading fintechs and AI labs, in a space where every experiment pushes the frontier of voice AI.
