About The Position

Retell AI is seeking ambitious builders for its AI Automations Engineering team to develop internal systems that power the company's day-to-day operations. This is a hands-on, 0→1 role focused on designing and implementing automation workflows across HR, GTM, Finance, Security, and Operations. The role involves transforming manual processes into scalable systems using APIs, modern tooling, and LLMs. The individual will own systems end-to-end, from problem definition and architecture to deployment and iteration, working closely with founders and leaders to address ambiguous business problems and create production systems. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys rapid development, systems thinking, and owning business outcomes.

Requirements

• Have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
• Have 2+ years of full-stack professional software engineering experience.
• You’ve worked with React and Python for 1+ year and are comfortable building and iterating on user-facing features.
• Have 1+ year of startup experience and are comfortable with ambiguity and fast iteration.
• Are strong across backend, frontend, and integrations, not just one layer.
• Enjoy working on internal tools that directly impact how teams operate.
• Can translate messy business problems into clean technical systems.
• Move quickly on 0–1 projects without needing heavy process or direction.
• Communicate clearly with non-engineering stakeholders and cross-functional partners.
• Prefer ownership and responsibility over narrowly scoped tickets.

• Prior work on internal tooling, automation platforms, or workflow systems is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with CRM, billing, or compliance-related systems is a plus.

• Security & Compliance Tooling: Build and maintain automations for customer contracts, including BAA, DPA, and DocuSign workflows.
• Create systems to automate customer security and compliance questionnaires.
• Partner with legal and security stakeholders to encode compliance logic into reliable tools.
