About The Company

Our client is an AI tools company focused on automating the freight brokerage industry with AI voice agents. The company is in its pre-seed stage, founded in 2025, and backed by Y Combinator, Naval Ravikant, Rajul Garg, and top Silicon Valley investors. It aims to replace manual processes in freight brokerage with AI-driven solutions.

About The Role

Develop AI voice agents for freight brokerage, focusing on real-time, production-grade voice AI, model design, and low-latency inference. Work in SF Bay Area, full-time, with competitive salary.

Moving a single truckload of avocados from California to Chicago can take 50+ phone calls - carrier pitches, compliance checks, rate haggling, driver tracking. All still done manually. Our client replaces that with AI voice agents that sound human and manage the entire workflow - from first call to final delivery. $1 Million+ shipments booked, negotiated, and tracked - no humans involved. This isn't a chatbot. It's a freight broker that runs on GPUs. Real infrastructure for an industry still running on phones.

What You'll Build

  • Work on real-time, production-grade voice AI - no wrappers, no demos, no borrowed infra.
  • Build agents that can negotiate, verify, and close - live on calls.
  • Fine-tune LLMs, ASR, and TTS for high-pressure, noisy environments.
  • Own everything from model design to low-latency inference infra.
  • Turn chaotic phone calls into fully automated workflows.

Requirements

  • 2-4 years of experience building AI agents (ideally voice-based) in production
  • Strong background in LLMs, ASR, and TTS (including fine-tuning models)
  • Experience with low-latency model deployment and real-time inference
  • Exposure to infra-level design, orchestration, and pipelines
  • High agency and startup mindset
  • 1++ years of experience
  • San Francisco, CA location preferred
  • Full-Time employment
  • Required Skills

  • LLM (Large Language Models)
  • ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition)
  • TTS (Text-to-Speech)
  • low-latency model deployment
  • real-time inference
  • infra-level design
  • orchestration
  • pipelines
  • Benefits

  • High ownership, direct work with YC founders
  • Hybrid SF or remote India flexibility
  • Competitive salary + meaningful equity
  • No red tape - rapid iteration and shipping encouraged
  • #J-18808-Ljbffr
