Key skills for this role
We're looking for an AI Engineer to join the proAgent pod and work on the systems that power our autonomous voice agents in live financial conversations. You'll work alongside a small, high-agency team where you will have real ownership over features and components from day one.
This is a hands-on engineering role. You'll be deep in the code — building agent logic, integrating speech models, tuning prompts, and debugging gnarly real-time issues. You don't need to have done all of this before, but you need to be the kind of engineer who figures things out fast, takes feedback well, and ships.

Build and maintain components of the agentic runtime that powers multi-turn financial conversations — covering payment negotiations, compliance guardrails, and objection handling
Implement context management logic that tracks consumer state, conversation history, and business rules across long, branching dialogues
Write and iterate on primitives that balance conversational fluidity with structured reasoning — the agent needs to feel human while making verifiable decisions
Skip the repetitive application forms

Work on our real-time voice pipeline with a target of sub-1s latency across transcription, reasoning, and synthesis
Contribute to VAD tuning and turn-taking logic that makes conversations feel natural
Help evaluate and integrate speech models (STT, TTS, speech-to-speech) — we currently work with ElevenLabs and Cartesia for TTS, and Deepgram for STT, and are always exploring what's next
Debug streaming audio and WebRTC issues in production
Write and refine prompts, implement orchestration flows, and contribute to model routing logic
Build components of our evaluation framework — helping measure agent quality across conversation quality, empathy, and compliance adherence
Stay curious about new models and tools — flag opportunities and contribute to build-vs-integrate discussions
2 – 5 years of hands-on engineering experience, with good exposure to building or working with ML or AI systems in production.
Solid Python fundamentals — you are comfortable writing clean, maintainable code and debugging production issues.
Some experience working with LLMs: prompt engineering, API integrations, or building simple pipelines or agents.
High bias for action — you don't wait to be told exactly what to do, and you push yourself to ship rather than over-engineer.
Strong fundamentals in Python; familiarity with TypeScript is a plus.
Eager to learn in a fast-moving environment, take ownership of your work, and ask good questions.
Exposure to voice AI: speech recognition, synthesis, or telephony systems — even if only through personal projects or coursework
Any background or interest in fintech, lending, or collections
You've tinkered with Twilio, LiveKit, ElevenLabs, or similar real-time infrastructure
You've built a small agentic system — even a side project — that combines LLM reasoning with structured actions
Familiarity with streaming protocols, WebRTC, or low-latency system design
Real ownership from day one: proAgent is a small pod. You won't be a cog — you'll own components, ship features, and see your work in live consumer conversations within weeks.
Frontier work: voice AI that reasons, decides, and acts is one of the hardest problems in applied AI. You'll be learning by doing on problems most engineers never touch.
Strong mentorship: you'll work directly with senior engineers and the AI Lead who will invest in your growth — this is a place to level up fast.
High leverage early career: the decisions you make and the code you write will impact millions of financial conversations. Rare for an early-career role.
From day 1, Prodigal has been defined by talented, humble, and hungry leaders and we want this mindset and culture to continue to blossom from top to bottom in the company. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit and want to work in a fast-paced, intellectually-stimulating environment where you will be pushed to grow, then please reach out because we are looking to build a transformational company that reinvents one of the biggest industries in the US.
