Simple AI, San Francisco
We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to own customer implementations end to end, turning Simple’s voice AI platform into production-ready agents tailored to each business.
Every customer has different call flows, systems, products, policies, and edge cases. As their Forward Deployed Engineer, you will understand those details and own the technical implementation through production, making sure the agent works reliably in the real world. This role is a good fit for someone who wants to code, talk to customers, move fast, and be close to the business impact of what they build.
The founders (Catheryn and Zach) met while running software teams at YC, where they shipped tons of new products for YC founders, including YC’s co-founder matching site. Cat previously worked at Instagram and Facebook and earned degrees in math and computer science at MIT. Zach previously studied computer science and statistics at U Chicago and led software at PEAK6. We have grown into a strong team of 20+ and are continuing to scale quickly.
If you are excited to work directly with customers and build AI agents that run in production, we would love to chat.
Please note: At this time, Simple AI is unable to provide employment visa sponsorship for this role. We appreciate your interest and understanding.
Simple AI builds voice AI agents that help businesses grow revenue. Our customers include Omaha Steaks, DoorDash, and Renewal by Andersen. Our agents qualify leads, book appointments, take orders, and upsell, turning phone conversations into revenue opportunities.
