Role Summary
Senior Software Engineer — AI Platform
Custom AI Solutions | Remote (Brazil) | Contract Engagement
About the Role We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to engage directly with our CTO and engineering leadership as a dedicated platform engineer on VoxaCor™ and BridgeNode™. This is not a staff augmentation role — you will have real ownership across architecture decisions, feature development, and platform reliability.
VoxaCor™ is our AI voice and SMS platform built for high-volume, real-time communication. BridgeNode™ is the open-source AI conversation framework that powers it — every product CAIS builds runs on it. You will own significant surface area across both — from AI agent orchestration and real-time voice pipelines to frontend interfaces and infrastructure.
AI-first development is core to how we build — if you haven't shipped production AI systems, this role isn't for you.
This is a contract engagement. Applicants must have a registered legal entity in Brazil to contract through. This is a firm requirement and is not negotiable.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain real-time AI voice pipeline components: STT, TTS, LLM orchestration, and telephony integration
- Develop multi-tenant SaaS platform features across web, voice, and SMS channels
- Implement AI agent workflows using modern orchestration frameworks and LLM integrations
- Design and build backend services, APIs, and data models supporting high-volume production workloads
- Develop frontend interfaces and progressive web app (PWA) features in React
- Build platform tooling, admin interfaces, and partner-facing configuration systems
- Contribute to BridgeNode™ open-source framework and VoxaCor™ proprietary feature layers
Requirements
Tech Stack
- Backend: Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Docker
- Frontend: React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, PWA
- Voice & Telephony: cloud telephony APIs, STT/TTS engines, WebRTC, SIP
- AI / LLM: leading commercial LLM APIs, agent orchestration frameworks
- Infrastructure: cloud platform, CI/CD pipelines, multi-tenant architecture
- 5+ years of full-stack engineering experience with TypeScript/Node.js and React
- Production experience building and shipping AI-powered applications — not just prototypes
- Hands-on experience with LLM APIs and agent orchestration
- Real-time systems experience: WebSockets, streaming APIs, or telephony/voice pipelines
- Strong database and API design fundamentals with PostgreSQL
- Comfortable working in a multi-tenant SaaS architecture
- Professional English proficiency — written and verbal communication must be clear, accurate, and effective for async collaboration with a US-based team
- Able to work independently, manage your own priorities, and communicate proactively in English
- Available to overlap with US Mountain/Pacific business hours for team collaboration
- Registered legal entity in Brazil — required for contract engagement (not negotiable)
- Strong Pluses
- Experience deploying or self-hosting open-source LLMs in private or air-gapped infrastructure environments
- Prior work in voice AI, telephony platforms, or real-time audio pipelines
- Open-source contributions, particularly to frameworks or developer tooling
- Experience with AI agent orchestration frameworks
- Background in transportation, logistics, or dispatch software ecosystems
What We're Looking For The ideal candidate is an experienced, self-directed engineer who defaults to building. You don't need hand-holding — you read the requirements, ask the right questions, and ship. You're excited about AI not as a buzzword but because you've worked in the stack and understand what it takes to run these systems in production. You want a role where your work matters and your decisions have real impact.
- Not a Fit If
- You don't have direct experience shipping AI systems to production
- You're looking for a short-term engagement
- You don't have a registered Brazilian entity to contract through
- You need heavy management oversight to stay productive
- Your English is not sufficient for async written collaboration
- Structure: Paid twice monthly in USD for work performed
- On-Target Earnings: $44K–$66K USD - depending on experience
- Role:
- Senior Software Engineer - AI First, Full Stack
- Job Type:
- Contractor
