Who You Are:

  • Experience with voice, telephony, conversational AI, contact center platforms, CPaaS, NLP/NLU systems, or LLM-based applications.

  • Skilled at producing clear architecture diagrams, scoping documentation, and technical proposals.

  • Comfortable working with enterprise customers ($240K+ ACV) in complex stakeholder environments.

  • Autonomous and self-directed; able to scope and design solutions independently.
