Job Description: Deepgram is looking for a backend software engineer to lead the design and implementation of Deepgram’s Voice Agent product. You will design and implement secure, robust, and scalable services for speech processing; build integrations supporting telephony providers, RAG systems, and diverse deployment scenarios; engineer for testability and observability within a complex chain of AI models; and more. Your skill at building highly reusable code that overcomes technical challenges is paired with an intuition for delightful user experiences. You will be a critical voice in Deepgram’s Product and Engineering teams, driving high impact products from start to finish.

What You’ll Do

Improve Deepgram’s core inference services including areas in networking, speech processing, model orchestration, and observability

Develop integrations with cutting edge in-house, third-party, and open-source AI models for perception and managing conversational dynamics

Debug complex system issues that include networking, scheduling, and highly concurrent workloads

Rapidly customize backend services to support our customer needs

Partner with Product to design and implement new services, features, and/or products end to end

You’ll Love This Role If You

Thrive in a fast-paced, impact-driven environment where learning new skills on-the-fly is not only encouraged but a regular necessity

Enjoy balancing decisions about product and feature maturity to decide when to make minimally invasive changes versus when to incorporate detailed design work
