Our success is reliant on building teams that include people from different backgrounds and experiences who can elevate assumptions and ideas with fresh perspectives. We're dedicated to hiring the whole human, not just a resume. To that end, we look for a diverse pool of applicants-including those from historically marginalized groups. We would like to invite you to apply even if you don't think you meet all of the requirements listed below. We don't want a few lines in a job description to get between us and the opportunity to meet you.

Role 

Do you enjoy working in a fast paced environment, using the latest technologies to solve some of the most impactful problems in the sales engagement domain? If so, this opportunity is for you. The Kaia services team is hiring software engineers to increase the momentum in this space and enhance Outreach Kaia (Knowledge AI Assistant) to further assist our customers through continued growth. If you are great at building highly scalable distributed systems, and interested or have experience in integrating Conversational AI, Speech Recognition, Machine Learning and NLP to deliver high quality products to customers, we’d love to talk to you.

About the Team 

On the Kaia Services Team (Voice Intelligence Services), our goal is to build the most intelligent assistant for the sales engagement domain. You’ll work closely with customers, scientists and product managers to shape the future of Kaia. You’ll own the features from design to the implementation and will have plenty of opportunities to interact with customers directly. You’ll be exposed to the cutting edge technologies, in ML as well as in cloud driven development to help Kaia reach to the next level, both in conversational understanding and system scalability. We have plenty of tough challenges which require creative minds like yours to help us solve!
