Full-Stack R&D Engineer (Voice AI Agent) — Telalive

Position Overview

GMIC AI is creating a new layer between voice and intelligence. Our product Telalive connects any landline phone directly to an AI voice agent, transforming how small businesses handle calls, bookings, and sales. We also design wearable BLE + Wi‑Fi recorders (MIC04 / MIC05) that turn real-world audio into structured, actionable knowledge. This is not a maintenance role—it’s a chance to help build a category‑defining product before the wave hits. You’ll work with the founder to bring Telalive’s Voice AI Agent to life—integrating real‑time telephony, LLM reasoning, and wearable hardware data streams.

Key Responsibilities

• Voice agent flows (ASR / TTS / dialogue state / CRM integration).
• LLM workflows: function calling, memory, RAG, and prompt analytics.
• SIP / PSTN / WebRTC integrations using Twilio or Asterisk.
• BLE + Wi‑Fi device communication for MIC04 / MIC05 (uploads, OTA, pairing).
• React / Next.js dashboards and landing pages that convert ideas to users.
• Metrics pipelines: response rate, conversion, retention—measured and improved weekly.

Required Qualifications

• You’re obsessed with AI-assisted coding (Claude Code, Copilot, Codex).
• You can take a concept from prototype → MVP → live by yourself.
• You think in systems, not tickets: Node.js / TypeScript or Python / FastAPI.
• You understand voice: ASR, TTS, VAD, streaming audio.
• You’ve touched Twilio, Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, or WebRTC.
• You have basic design taste—React + Figma won’t scare you.
• You’re driven by impact, not hierarchy.

Preferred Qualifications

• BLE / Wi‑Fi device SDK integration experience.
• Shipped any voice agent or conversational AI to real users.
• Prior work in healthcare, retail, or call‑center automation.
• Comfortable running quick A/B tests, data dashboards, or growth tools.

Benefits & Perks

• Compensation: Salary: $50K–$60K USD / year.
• Equity: Early‑team stock options with clear upside; Telalive is entering a brand‑new market and we plan to raise funding in 2025.
• Culture: Lean startup—fast iteration, direct feedback, tangible outcomes.
• Location: Onsite in Anaheim / Orange County, CA.
