About Dialpad
Dialpad is the AI-native business communications platform. We unify calling, messaging, meetings, and contact center on a single platform - powered by AI that understands every conversation in real time.

More than 70,000 companies around the globe, including WeWork, Asana, NASDAQ, AAA Insurance, COMPASS Realty, Uber, Randstad, and Tractor Supply, rely on Dialpad to build stronger customer connections using real-time, AI-driven insights.

We’re now leading the shift to Agentic AI: intelligent agents that don’t just analyze conversations but take action by automating workflows, resolving customer issues, and accelerating revenue in real time. Our DAART initiative (Dialpad Agentic AI in Real Time) is redefining what a communications platform can do.

Being a Dialer
At Dialpad, AI isn’t just a feature; it’s how our teams do their best work every day. We put powerful AI tools in every employee’s hands so they can move faster, think bigger, and achieve more.

We believe every conversation matters. And we’ve built the platform that turns those conversations into insight and action, for our customers and ourselves.

We look for people who are intensely curious and hold themselves to a high bar. Our ambition is significant, and achieving it requires a team that operates at the highest level. We seek individuals who embody our core traits: Scrappy, Curious, Optimistic, Persistent, and Empathetic.

Your Role
As a core technical leader within our Agentic AI initiatives, you will shape the vision, architecture, and execution of Dialpad’s next-generation AI platform, moving the industry beyond passive copilots into autonomous workflow execution. Working closely with Product, Applied Research, Design, and executive leadership, you will build production-grade systems where AI agents reason, act, coordinate, and safely execute workflows.

You will help pioneer an advanced multi-agent orchestration framework capable of real-time conversational reasoning and tool execution over massive enterprise datasets, while fostering an AI-native engineering culture.

What You’ll Do

Drive Technical Strategy: Own the architectural roadmap and delivery of Dialpad’s Agentic infrastructure, core orchestration layers, memory architectures, and evaluation/observability systems.
Build & Scale: Design and deploy scalable, multi-modal AI agents capable of autonomous support, real-time voice reasoning, and secure API tool execution across complex enterprise workflows.
Mentor & Influence: Act as a technical anchor for the organization, raising the engineering bar, mentoring senior peers, and defining technical standards for an AI-native SDLC.
Partner Cross-Functionally: Collaborate with leadership across Product, Engineering, and Applied Research to align technical execution with Dialpad’s long-term business strategy.
Push the Frontier: Research and implement emerging agent frameworks, LLM inference optimization, advanced retrieval systems, and cutting-edge safety/policy guardrails to keep Dialpad at the absolute forefront of the "era of the agent."

Skills You’ll Bring

Experience: 8+ years of relevant software engineering experience, with a proven track record of technical leadership (as a Senior, Staff, or Principal Engineer) shipping complex, large-scale systems.
Systems Background: Strong foundations in scaling distributed systems and production-grade infrastructure before evolving into applied AI, LLM platforms, and agentic architectures.

Core Technical Expertise:

You have shipped production systems where AI agents reason, act, coordinate, and safely execute workflows. You bring deep expertise in:

LLM Platforms: Inference optimization and fine-tuning strategies.
Data & Retrieval: Advanced retrieval systems and memory architectures.
Agent Frameworks: Hands-on experience with frameworks like LangChain/LangGraph, CrewAI, or AWS/Google Agent ecosystems.
AI Ops: Evaluation, observability, and safety frameworks for production AI systems.
Real-Time Infrastructure: Streaming infrastructure and voice/conversational AI.
Tool Integration: Tool use, API execution frameworks, and human-in-the-loop validation systems.

Leadership & Mindset:

Operational Excellence: Experience setting clear technical goals, identifying architectural risks, and systematically clearing tech-debt gaps.
The 0→1 Archetype: Ability to thrive in ambiguity, build cutting-edge AI products from the ground up, and scale them into robust, self-sustaining enterprise systems.
