Join a high-growth AI research lab as a Senior Engineer building real-time conversational humans. You will orchestrate multimodal pipelines involving ASR, LLMs, and video rendering over WebRTC with sub-second latency. Working at the intersection of research and product, you’ll ship end-to-end features that define the future of natural human-computer interaction.
Senior Software Engineer (CVI) at Series B multimodal AI startup
Are you a Python expert who thrives on the challenge of sub-second latency? You'll work at the intersection of research and production, integrating state-of-the-art models into WebRTC pipelines to create AI humans that see, hear, and respond naturally. If you have experience with concurrent programming and real-time systems, this is your chance to shape the future of human computing. Join a small, high-autonomy team in San Francisco and solve problems that don't yet have a playbook.

Role overview
About the company
Series B multimodal AI startup
What you will do
- Orchestrate complex real-time multimodal pipelines (ASR, LLM, TTS, video) over WebRTC with a focus on sub-second latency optimization.
- Collaborate with research teams to integrate state-of-the-art models for rendering, perception, and turn-taking into a live consumer-facing product.
- Lead the development of interactive features like browser control and real-time knowledge bases to enhance the capabilities of conversational agents.
Who this is a fit for
- Deep Python fluency with extensive experience in concurrent programming, including asyncio, multiprocessing, and managing the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL).
- Proven track record of building and maintaining high-performance real-time systems where every millisecond of the latency budget matters.
- Senior-level experience setting technical direction, making architectural decisions, and mentoring others while shipping complex features end-to-end.
Why this role is remarkable
- Work at the cutting edge of human-computer interaction, building real-time “AI Humans” that feel as natural as talking to a friend.
- Backed by top-tier venture capital firms and operating at the intersection of production-grade engineering and state-of-the-art AI research.
- High-autonomy environment where you own entire features from architecture to deployment, solving novel problems with no established playbook.
