Full Time Greater Seattle Area, WA{{salary package}}## About Our Client Our client is making calls safe, useful, and human again.

Voice is the most human form of communication, yet it has become one of the least trusted. Spam, scams, and AI manipulation have eroded what was once a simple way to connect. Our client is changing that.

This is a pivotal moment for voice. As new threats and technologies accelerate, so does the demand for trusted voice communication. Our client is expanding globally and helping define what voice becomes next.

Join our client and help shape the future of voice: smarter, safer, and genuinely worth answering again.## About the Role This role is part of a foundational team working at the intersection of backend systems, real-time voice infrastructure, and applied AI. You won't be maintaining legacy code or tweaking existing services—you'll be designing and building the backend platform from the ground up.

We're looking for engineers who get excited about greenfield architecture, want to make early decisions that shape how a product scales, and thrive when there's more whiteboard than runbook. As a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with a backend focus, you'll design and build the backend services and APIs that power our client’s next-generation voice products. This is a backend-first role with opportunities to work across the stack when it adds value.

The team builds a platform at the intersection of voice, telephony, and artificial intelligence. The work spans both audio intelligence, including deepfake detection and speaker verification, and conversational AI. The focus is on building resilient, scalable systems that integrate into operator networks and perform within real-time telephony environments.## What You'll Do
* Design and build backend services and APIs from scratch using Type Script and Node.js
* Build real-time voice systems, including SIP/RTP media handling and STT/TTS pipelines with strict latency requirements
* Make foundational architecture decisions that will shape the platform for years to come
* Build systems that operate in real-time, high-availability voice environments
* Work with data stores, event streams, and cloud-based systems
* Collaborate with a distributed team across the United States and Europe using async-first working norms
* Work across the stack when needed, while maintaining a strong backend focus
* This is a hybrid role requiring three days per week in the Seattle office, with occasional travel as needed## What Success Looks Like
* 5–7 years of professional experience as a backend or backend-leaning full-stack engineer
* Strong fundamentals in backend architecture, API design, and data-driven systems
* Experience building reliable, production-ready applications and services
* Comfort with ambiguity—you know how to make good decisions without a playbook
* Interest in applied AI and voice technology
* Excellent communication and self-organization skills## What We're Looking For
