Why AssemblyAI

AssemblyAI builds the best-in-class Voice AI models powering the next generation of voice applications. We have a lab, and we also power our own models in our own proprietary inference environment. Our models serve 500M+ inference calls monthly, and process nearly 2 million hours of audio daily. The Voice AI space is at an inflection point; we’re looking for the best talent we can find to join a rapidly scaling team that's defining the future of the industry.

We are one of the most capital-efficient AI companies on the planet - and are rapidly approaching $1M ARR per employee. We sit among the top 5 most revenue-dense teams within the fastest-growing AI companies today. We have thousands of customers building with us including the top startups and world-renowned enterprises, and are serving at tremendous scale: we process nearly 2 million hours of audio daily and handle more than 15 million API calls every day. This is a rare growth-stage opportunity where the business is proven, the revenue is durable, and the growth trajectory is steep and getting steeper. We have a super flat culture and expect our employees to be deeply intimate with the details at all levels.

If you've ever felt buried under layers of bureaucracy, starved of real ownership, or frustrated watching your work disappear into a slow-moving org, AssemblyAI is built differently. The company operates as a true meritocracy, with no heavy planning or approval processes and no gatekeeping on the tools or information you need. For anyone who genuinely cares about voice AI, not as a trend to chase, but as a technology to build, this is the place where the most interesting problems at the most interesting scale are being solved by a team small enough that you'll actually know everyone's name.

About the role:

AssemblyAI is growing quickly, and we're hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer for our Triage team. You'll work across our entire customer base to answer their questions and solve their technical problems. You’ll also build and run the agents that handle our first line of customer contact. Most of your work happens in Slack, with customers and our Engineering and Research teams.

What You’ll Do:

  • Work with customers at scale. You will work across our entire customer base, from owned accounts to self-serve accounts, and serve as a product expert and technical resource with a heavy focus on unblocking customers who are facing technical issues. You will also be responsible for escalating and routing conversations to other teams as needed, particularly commercial conversations.
  • Build and manage agents. We run internal agents for customer support and operations, including our customer-facing chat agent, which you'll help bring back online. You'll iterate on these agents, build new ones, and own their quality.
  • Turn escalations into fixes. When our chat agent can't resolve something, it escalates to you. Solve the customer's problem, then fix the agent so it handles that case next time.
  • Close the loop with Engineering and Research. File bugs and feature requests with enough evidence to act on, and turn what customers tell you into product changes.
  • Improve our docs and SDKs. Fix what's confusing customers at the source.

What You’ll Need:

  • 2+ years in a technical, customer-facing role (solutions engineering, technical support, developer relations, or software development). We'll consider 1 year for someone with a strong solutions background.
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language. Python preferred; other languages considered.
  • Daily use of coding agents like Claude Code or Codex, with real projects shipped using them. You manage context across long tasks and check agent output before it reaches a customer.
  • Experience with REST APIs, and the ability to read and debug customer code
  • Strong written communication. Most of this job happens in Slack.
  • Ability to hear a customer use case and map it to what our API can do

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with speech, audio, or voice AI products
  • You've built an agent or automation that other people rely on
  • You’ve worked with tools like Datadog, Looker, Metronome, Pylon, and GitHub

Where this role leads:

Triage is where you learn our product, our customers, and how we build with agents. Engineers who do well here take on more senior roles on the Triage team, move into our Portfolio and Strategic teams, and start owning their own books of business or move into more technical roles in the company. Your manager will work with you on what that path looks like and the timeline for you specifically.

Pay Transparency:

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
