You’ll work across:
Your code will sit underneath AI driven customer interactions, connecting the platforms and services that make the ecosystem work.
WHY THIS ENVIRONMENT IS COOL
This team sits at the intersection of AI, software engineering, voice technology, automation and data.
The technology is already live and being used in real operations.
The environment is modern, with Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, API first architecture and real time telephony all forming part of the technology landscape.
Even the engineering workflow is different. Claude Code and Cursor are part of the development environment, alongside GitHub based engineering practices.
You’ll work closely with technical architects and experienced engineering leads in a small team where engineers have genuine ownership and actually ship.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
NICE TO HAVE
