About Vapi
Voice AI for developers About the role
Skills:
JavaScript, Kubernetes, Node.js, Rust, TypeScript, Distributed Systems
Company Overview
Apple Intelligence and Google Gemini are about to onboard 4 billion people to voice assistants that actually talk like people. This marks a new beginning for voice as the world’s default interface. We will
all
want voice
everywhere . Businesses are not ready. Products are not ready. We’re building the infrastructure that helps developers close the gap between the raw model and voice AI in production.
Give it a try here
. We
launched in March , scaled revenue, and raised this past week. We’re a small team of 6 and growing. We're building out the founding team in-person in SF to scale what’s working. Mission
The Founding Senior Engineer (Infra) will be responsible for scaling Vapi’s real-time conversational infrastructure to millions of concurrent calls, while ensuring every call gets picked up within 1s with 99.9% reliability. You’ll also be a foundational part of how we build the culture at Vapi. Outcomes
Own scalability projects end-to-end
Ship a pre-scoped project within the first 7 days (eg. redis HA) Ship a project independently within the first 30 days (eg. new CRD for managing worker pools)
Build monitoring
Ship pre-defined monitoring goals within the first 14 days (eg. prometheus rules) Ship monitoring independently within the first 30 days (eg. refactor call monitoring to real-time alert on latency spikes)
Build anti-frangibility into the infrastructure
Unprompted, build things that make our infrastructure more antifragile (eg. auto multi-cluster rollover).
Competencies
Experience with Kubernetes, Pulumi, or scaling other distributed systems Communication: You can clearly articulate what you’re thinking
and
feeling Cracked-ness: You’re more cracked than the most cracked person on the team Startup Ready: You have a reason to be here and can make sacrifices for something uncertain Founder Juice: New ideas come from you, you build it yourself or annoy everyone until it’s done ;) Qualifications
