Senior Software Engineer at Arbor. Remote Location: New York City. We unlock ground truth for the enterprises that power the global economy.. Billions of critical conversations happen every day in retail, hospitality, food service, logistics, and beyond — with customers and employees. Historically, these insights disappear the moment they're spoken.. Arbor turns in-person conversations into executive-grade strategic intelligence. . We're signing real enterprise contracts in industries that power the global economy. The opportunity is massive, the problems are unsolved, and we need product-obsessed builders to join on our journey. . Must-haves. 5+ years shipping production software, including time as an early engineer at a seed/Series A startup. Full-stack generalist who owns features end-to-end with sharp product judgment — knows what to build, what to cut, when to push back. Ships predictably and communicates clearly; credible with an enterprise VP of Ops on a customer call and async with a remote CTO. Production experience in at least one of voice/audio, LLM apps, or data/insights pipelines (Umi is all three). Fluent in Python/FastAPI + TypeScript/React; moves across frontend, backend, and infra in a single PR. Has shipped against flaky third-party APIs under latency/reliability pressure (telephony, real-time audio, payments, etc.). Working knowledge of LLM app development: prompts, structured output, retrieval, evals, and non-deterministic systems that hold up in prod. AWS or GCP with multi-tenant SaaS security instincts (data isolation, PII, SOC 2). Excited to be a foundational hire building AI for frontline enterprise. Nice-to-haves. Staff/tech-lead IC ready to grow into eng lead within ~12 months. Voice agent stack (LiveKit, Pipecat, Vapi, Retell, or custom on Twilio/Deepgram/ElevenLabs) + speech fundamentals (ASR, TTS, diarization, VAD). Production agentic LLM workflows: tool use, multi-step, eval-driven. Data/analytics depth: warehouse modeling, DBT, owning an insights pipeline. On-call comfort on a small team — has been the person paged. Why Join Arbor: . Huge market, weak competition. : Billions of offline conversations happen daily. No one else is solving this for real enterprise.. Large enterprise customers. : We're already working with multi-billion dollar manufacturers, retailers, and logistics companies.. Strong founding team. : Backgrounds from Harvard, Princeton, Meta, Insight Partners, IBM. We know how to listen, build, sell, ship, scale— then iterate and accelerate.. Real upside. : Already backed by the best with $6M+ from 645 Ventures, NextPlay Ventures (Jeff Weiner), Wisdom, and angels, but early enough for founding team members to see generational outcomes from equity.. Product that works. : Customers see immediate ROI. Enterprise deals close fast.. Mostly importantly, join for the team. We're A+ players who live our values:. Own the outcome. : From first idea to customer impact, see it through. No hand-offs, no excuses.. Real problems only. : Find energy in work that actually matters, not in building features that sound cool but solve nothing.. Intellectual honesty. : Admit what isn't known, ask uncomfortable questions, and challenge assumptions without fear.. Clarity through chaos. : Thrive in 0-to-1, high-intensity environments. Move fast but think clearly, turn confusion into direction, ship quality under pressure.. Empathy above all. : Obsess over customer problems and think deeply about user needs before making any decision.
