Job Description

MLabs is at the forefront of conversational AI technology, building next-generation AI agents to revolutionize business workflow automation. Our platform serves as an AI-native help desk that creates a seamless collaboration between human agents and AI systems, progressively increasing automation capabilities over time. Our sophisticated AI agents handle both reactive and proactive automation across multiple communication channels including calls, SMS, and email, while maintaining coherent conversation threads.

As a Backend Engineer at MLabs, you'll join a dynamic, fast-moving team dedicated to maximizing conversational automation for high-touch businesses. We're seeking a motivated and ambitious engineer who brings hands-on experience in building production backend systems. Your role will be crucial in hardening reliability, optimizing latency, safely evolving data models, and creating efficient "paved roads" that enhance team productivity.

This position offers an exciting opportunity to work with cutting-edge AI technology while taking on significant responsibility in a small, fast-paced startup environment. You'll be instrumental in implementing monitoring systems, collaborating with frontend and AI engineers, and ensuring our infrastructure scales effectively. With competitive compensation including both salary ($130k-$190k) and equity (0.10%-1.00%), plus visa sponsorship availability, this role presents an excellent opportunity for growth and impact in the AI industry.
