Consulting • Logistics • Marketing

Aiphoria is a provider of AI-driven virtual employees and a proprietary platform that automates multi-channel customer-facing and back-office tasks. Its Aiphoria Pros are multilingual, multi-modal agents (voice, chat, email, calls) that handle support, sales, collections, legal, HR and marketing workflows for enterprise customers in industries such as banking, telecom and e‑commerce. The company offers cloud and on‑prem deployments, analytics and open-architecture integrations to reduce human labor, improve response times and boost customer satisfaction.

📋 Description

• Lead a small backend team, owning execution through decomposition, estimation, and prioritization • Continuously assess team performance and growth and adjust team composition when needed without disrupting delivery • Build and maintain integrations with third-party services • Develop the internal LLM agent framework, focusing on scalability, throughput, and parallel processing • Extend and refine platform architecture to meet evolving project needs • Technically lead the backend/platform track by breaking down complex work and building processes around product goals • Adapt quickly as priorities shift, work in short feedback loops, keep the team aligned, and drive work through completion • Collaborate with other teams on architecture, integrations, ownership boundaries, and handoffs • Ensure system observability and reliability through metrics, tracing, and monitoring

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years of experience building and shipping production software • 3+ years of hands-on experience with asynchronous Python in production environments • 2+ years of engineering leadership experience, leading teams through execution while remaining deeply technical • Strong background designing and evolving complex distributed systems, platform-level infrastructure, or other high-scale backend architectures • Ability to define technical direction, break down ambiguous problems, prioritize work, and deliver results without detailed specifications or constant guidance • Product-minded engineering approach with end-to-end ownership of features • Strong technical leadership skills and ability to provide thoughtful feedback while maximizing team effectiveness • Practical experience building with LLMs and agentic AI frameworks (e.g. LangGraph or similar) • Up-to-date understanding of the rapidly evolving AI ecosystem and engineering best practices • Comfort operating in fast-moving, high-ambiguity environments • Python 3.13, asyncio, Kubernetes, Kafka, PostgreSQL, HTTP/gRPC, ELK, and Grafana

🏖️ Benefits

• The team has built award-winning AI products for tech corporations: devices, voice assistants, products that are actually in the world • Cutting-edge tech stack: Speech Technologies, NLP, Generative AI (LLMs, diffusion models), voice-first agentic architecture with privacy-first and on-premises deployment • High engineering bar and real ownership: the team cares about what actually works in production, not what looks good in a demo, and you'll see the impact of your work directly • Fast career progression: a senior-heavy team and a high volume of real problems means you grow faster than you would anywhere else • Startup pace with enterprise stability: real clients, real revenue, no bureaucracy • Fully remote across Europe • 21 vacation days + public holidays + 5 sick days • Private English lessons via Preply • Company-paid subscriptions to top AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and others)
