Artificial Intelligence Engineer

Role overview:
Own end-to-end delivery of a commercial-grade, human-like AI voice calling system. You will lead cross-functional teams across AI, custom SaaS integrations, compliance, and UX to meet the product delivery requirements, with measurable results in audio quality, latency, accuracy, and user satisfaction.

Key outcomes:

• Natural, branded voice experiences using neural TTS with SSML controls, multiple local voices, adaptive speech rate, and barge-in support.

• Conversational intelligence tuned for Australian English with sentiment detection, tone adaptation, small talk, repair strategies, and error recovery.

• Functional business flows for inbound and outbound calls, booking, CRM and case notes, knowledge retrieval, warm handover, and compliant recording with PII redaction.

• System integrations across calendars, CRM, web portal, APIs with strict permissions, and telephony via SIP or cloud carriers with real-time media streaming.

• Compliance and accessibility aligned to the Australian Privacy Act, consent announcements, NDB (Notifiable Data Breaches) readiness, Do Not Call, multilingual support, and clear human handoff.

• Quality control with MOS monitoring, low response latency, STT accuracy reporting, sentiment dashboards, redaction verification, and fallback trigger analytics.

Responsibilities:

• Own the product roadmap across voice, conversations, business features, compliance, integrations, monitoring, and UX.

• Run discovery with ops and stakeholders to map intents, scripts, policies, and warm, professional escalation paths.

• Shape voice quality: set TTS prosody, SSML usage, and audio hygiene (noise suppression, echo cancellation, auto-gain); test local voices and brand fit.

• Lift ASR performance for Australian English; enable barge-in, small-talk handling, repair strategies, and graceful error recovery.

• Ship core flows: inbound and outbound calls, bookings, CRM updates, knowledge retrieval, warm transfers, SMS and email follow-ups, and compliant recording with redaction.

• Lead integrations: calendars, CRM with audit logs, web portal data, secure read-write APIs, SIP or cloud telephony, and real-time media streaming.

• Set governance: Australian Privacy Act and consent announcements, NDB procedures, Do Not Call compliance, accessibility, multilingual support, and smooth human handoff.

• Build and evolve monitoring around latency, STT accuracy, sentiment, redaction, and fallback triggers to drive continuous improvement.
