Company mission
To built the future of AI-powered voice automation, starting with the trades industry. Our voice agents help tradespeople win more jobs, serve customers better, and run their businesses smarter.
Role
Who you are
- If you love working directly with users, tackling ambiguous challenges, and shipping code that makes a difference, this role is for you
- Customer-obsessed: You thrive on direct interaction with users and you measure your success by theirs
- Biased for action: You experiment, iterate and learn in the open
- Owner’s mindset: You take responsibility for delivering outcomes, not just code
- Ambitious & bold: You’re excited to push boundaries, whether that’s in AI, voice platforms, or scaling systems
- Team-first collaborator: You make your teammates stronger and never shy away from the unglamorous tasks
- Care deeply: Quality matters to you - and it shows in everything you build
- Strong fundamentals in software engineering — you can design, debug, and ship reliable systems
- Proficiency with at least one of our core languages (Python or TypeScript) - or the ability to learn fast
- Experience building and shipping production systems end-to-end, ideally in environments with direct user exposure
- Comfort working across the stack - frontend, backend, infrastructure
- Ability to work directly with customers or non-technical stakeholders to scope, negotiate, and deliver solutions
- A track record of impact: maybe you’ve built something people use, led hairy integrations, or owned projects others avoided
Desirable
- Experience in forward deployed or customer-facing(e.g solutions, sales) engineering roles
- Early-stage startup experience, especially in AI, voice platforms, or event-driven systems
- Familiarity with modern cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes, serverless, distributed systems)
- Evidence of customer empathy - support experience, founder experience, or just building things that solved real user pain
What the job involves
- As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll work closely with our customers to solve their hardest problems
- You’ll be on the front lines translating real-world needs into product improvements, integrations and solutions that drive impact
- Partner with customers to understand their workflows, challenges, and goals - then design and deliver solutions tailored to them
- Build and ship core features across our stack (Python, TypeScript, cloud infra, event-driven systems, third party integrations)
- Ship quickly: prototype, iterate, and deliver value in days, not months
- Act as the bridge between customers and our core engineering team - bring back insights, influence the roadmap, and raise the bar for product quality
- Own the end-to-end lifecycle: scoping, building, deploying and supporting solutions in production
Salary benchmarks
Our take
For trades and field services like plumbing and electrical maintenance, customer service can take up a considerable amount of precious business time. Elyos AI has built multifaceted autonomous AI agents that help to accelerate business and ensure full visibility and control over a service.
Elyos’s AI agents cover out-of-hours customer calls, diary management, sales execs, and automated paperwork. This effectively maximises business productivity and is used by large trade businesses like Diamond Green Energy, APG and Aquila to streamline operations.
It’s unsurprising that Elyos AI has achieved significant success. Backed by YCombintor, the idea for Elyos AI was born in San Francisco, where the founding team spent significant time in 2023 shaping the vision. Today, Elyos is building on its AI capabilities to reduce overheads and improve customer satisfaction. With a growing customer base and strong backing, the company looks poised for further growth.
