About Retell Ai Retell AI is using the first principles to reimagine the call center with cutting edge voice AI.
Since launching 18 months ago, thousands of companies now utilize Retell’s AI voice agents to handle sales, support, and logistics calls that once required large teams of human agents. Backed by Y Combinator, Alt Capital, and other leading investors, we have scaled to $36M ARR with a team of 20 people, up from $5M at the start of 2025.
Our vision for 2026 is to build a modern CX platform where entire contact centers are powered by AI. Instead of basic automation that needs constant human tuning, we’re creating intelligent AI “workers” that can act as frontline agents, QA analysts, and managers — continuously executing, monitoring, and improving customer interactions.
We’re growing quickly and looking for ambitious builders who want to tackle hard technical problems, move fast, and have real impact at one of the fastest-growing voice AI startups.
Let’s build the future together.
About The Role You’ll be part of our Forward Deployed Engineering team, operating as a highly technical, product-minded builder working directly with customers to bring Retell’s voice AI platform to life in production.
This is a hands-on role for someone who has built from 0→1 before. You’ll stay deep in the code while also shaping how our product is deployed, extended, and evolved in real-world environments. You won’t just integrate APIs, you’ll design systems, make product calls, and build solutions that directly impact revenue.
You’ll work closely with customers, founders, and engineering to turn ambiguous problems into shipped systems. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys both building and owning outcomes end-to-end.
