Software Engineer, Agent Experience
AssemblyAI, North America +1
The role
If you've ever felt buried under layers of bureaucracy, starved of real ownership, or frustrated watching your work disappear into a slow-moving org, AssemblyAI is built differently. The company operates as a true meritocracy, with no heavy planning or approval processes and no gatekeeping on the tools or information you need. For anyone who genuinely cares about voice AI, not as a trend to chase, but as a technology to build, this is the place where the most interesting problems at the most interesting scale are being solved by a team small enough that you'll actually know everyone's name.
More and more developers don't read our docs or click through our dashboard. Their coding agent does. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and others are now how a big share of engineers discover, integrate and debug AssemblyAI. We've spent years polishing the human experience. The agent experience (AX) is newer, growing fast, and almost untouched.
That's the job. You'll own how AI agents build with AssemblyAI: the skills, prompts, MCP server, code samples, docs and integrations an agent reads and runs when a developer says "add transcription to my app." Your north star is simple: an agent should go from zero to a working, production-grade AssemblyAI integration on the first try.
