About the role
You will work across streaming audio, transcription, translation, and display delivery. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who cares about reliability under real-world conditions: inconsistent networks, varied hardware, and moments where the product simply has to work.
What you'll do
- Own realtime audio and text pipelines from ingestion through delivery.
- Improve latency, resilience, observability, and graceful recovery across live sessions.
- Design pragmatic interfaces between speech providers, translation services, and Kalaamy clients.
- Partner with product and design to turn operational complexity into calm, legible tools.
What we're looking for
- Strong experience building production systems in TypeScript, Node.js, Go, Rust, or a similar language.
- Experience with WebSockets, streaming media, event-driven systems, or realtime infrastructure.
- A thoughtful approach to monitoring, failure modes, and performance profiling.
- Clear written communication and comfort working in a small, distributed team.
Helpful, not required
- Experience with speech recognition, machine translation, WebRTC, or audio signal processing.
- Familiarity with multilingual or right-to-left product experiences.
