About the Role
We are looking for an exceptionally ambitious, high-velocity Senior AI Engineer who thrives in fast-paced, high-ownership startup environments . You will work 100% on-site alongside our core team in Montreal to build, scale, and refine our next-generation AI agent ecosystem—focusing directly on ambient AI scribes and autonomous AI receptionists. This is not a corporate, incremental role. You will have full ownership across the stack: orchestrating cutting-edge AI voice models, building ultra-low latency backend systems, and shipping intuitive frontend interfaces. If you love zero-to-one engineering, solving hard technical problems in real time, and moving fast without sacrificing architectural quality, this role is built for you.

Key Responsibilities
Ship End-to-End AI Systems: Move rapidly from concept to production on real-time Speech-to-Text (STT), Text-to-Speech (TTS), LLM orchestration, and autonomous receptionist/scribe w
