  • Try talking to Vapi now!

  • Vapi engineers are already building agent skills, workflows, and tools. We need a dedicated owner to turn these fragmented pieces into one reliable agentic development lifecycle.

  • We have an opportunity to connect sandboxes, CI, verification, and background agents into a cohesive system that compounds across every engineering team.

  • We want to ship 10× faster by building the frontier agent harness for real-time voice AI. Agents will place real calls, validate their work against Vapi-specific systems, and ship with confidence.

  • →
  • You have built internal platforms, developer tooling, or infrastructure that materially changed how engineers build, test, and ship software.

  • You are a hands-on engineer with strong software fundamentals across distributed systems, platform architecture, API design, CI/CD, and monorepo or large-codebase workflows.

  • You have practical experience building agent harnesses and using coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or open-source equivalents on real engineering work.

  • You know how to design secure agent interfaces, MCP integrations, and sandboxed runtimes where agents can call APIs, run CLI commands, and use general-purpose tools safely.

  • You have built or operated online and offline LLM evaluation systems and can reason clearly about accuracy, latency, reliability, and cost.

  • You are fluent in at least one of TypeScript, Python, or Go and comfortable working across containers, databases, queues, orchestration systems, and modern cloud infrastructure.

  • You stay current on frontier models and techniques such as prompt caching, context compression, retrieval, and multi-agent coordination, and you know when the newest tool is useful versus distracting.

  • You thrive in ambiguity, seek raw input, and turn fragmented experiments into simple systems that other engineers want to use.

  • Generational impact: Build the human interface for every business

  • Ownership culture: 30% of us are previous founders

  • Kind team: The founders, Jordan and Nikhil, are Canadians

  • Tier-1 investors: YC, Kleiner Perkins, Bessemer, M12, Peak XV, and more
