Job description
About Level AI
Level AI is a Series C conversational intelligence company headquartered in Mountain View, CA, backed by top-tier VCs and Silicon Valley operators. We help enterprise contact centers understand every customer conversation — using speech AI, NLP/NLU, and retrieval systems to turn millions of unstructured interactions into decisions businesses can act on.
Why this role exists
We're at the scaling inflection point. The systems that carried us from Series A to Series C won't carry us to the next stage, and we need someone to own that transition — not just build inside it.
This is a Principal role: you'll set technical direction for backend and ML infrastructure across multiple teams, make the architectural calls that are expensive to reverse, and raise the engineering bar through design reviews, mentorship, and the standards you set by example. You'll report to the VP of Engineering and partner directly with our ML, Product, and Infrastructure leads across both sites.
You'll work alongside engineers from Amazon, Google, and Meta who chose to build here because the problems are unsolved and the ownership is real.
