About Quintess.аіWe’re supporting a fast-growing AI startup backed by top-tier Silicon Valley investors.Their mission: build agentic AI systems that eliminate tedious admin work for industrial technicians — starting with a voice AI agent that listens, thinks, and takes action in real time.
The product integrates directly with enterprise maintenance systems (EAM/ERP), helping technicians fix complex assets faster by automating reporting, fault classification, and part ordering.They’re already live with some of the largest global rail operators in the US and Europe — and expanding rapidly.
The RoleWe’re looking for a Founding AI Engineer who combines deep technical ability with a builder mindset. As one of the first five engineers, you’ll shape the company’s AI architecture, design and deploy new features, and work directly with customers to solve high-impact real-world problems.
What you’ll do:● Build and adapt real-time AI agents for new customer use cases (often from scratch).● Design and ship RAG-powered voice flows and conversational features.● Improve the latency, reliability, and robustness of the real-time AI stack.● Partner directly with users to understand workflows and iterate fast.● Turn bespoke builds into reusable platform blueprints for scale.
What We’re Looking ForMust-have:● 4–10 years in AI / backend engineering, ideally in startups or fast-moving environments.● Strong in Python, LLM integration, and cloud deployment (AWS/GCP).● Experience building AI agents or real-time systems (speech-to-text, TTS, or streaming).● Understanding of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and data pipelines.● Passion for solving real problems — not just training models — and learning from users.
Nice-to-have:● Prior experience with LangChain, LlamaIndex, or voice orchestration frameworks.● Experience integrating AI into enterprise systems or industrial environments.● Early-stage / founding engineer experience.
Why This Role Is Exceptional🧠 Cutting-edge AI – work at the intersection of voice, reasoning, and real-time execution.🛠️ 0→1 Impact – shape the product and engineering culture from the ground up.🌍 Massive market – industrial maintenance is one of the last untouched by AI.🚀 Live customers, real deployments – this isn’t a demo lab; it’s production AI.
