This role is focused on building the backend systems that allow our AI Agents to:
- Integrate deeply with leading CCaaS platforms
- Participate in live customer conversations across voice and chat
- Maintain full conversation state and context
- Perform real-time actions within the CCaaS ecosystem
- Seamlessly hand off conversations to human agents — without losing context, history, or workflow state
- Support human agents with AI assistance after transfer

This is not a pure research role — it is about building production-grade infrastructure that enables AI Agents to operate reliably in mission-critical customer environments.
Why This Role Is Unique:
- AI + Real-Time Systems: Work on infrastructure that enables AI Agents to participate in live conversations at scale.
- Enterprise-Grade Integrations: Design robust integrations with major CCaaS platforms and customer systems.
- Human-AI Collaboration: Build the systems that make AI-to-human handoff seamless, contextual, and reliable.
- High-Impact Engineering: Your work directly determines ho
