About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Voice Agent Engineer to build Sully.ai’s voice platform and patient experience as an individual contributor. In this role, you will design and implement a reliable, self-hosted voice agent stack (including UAE/KSA deployments), integrate with enterprise EHRs, and turn a long list of use cases into a cohesive patient journey. You will start with hands-on customer interactions and then help transition routine touchpoints to Sales, Design, and PM as the platform matures.

About Us
Team from OpenAI, DeepMind, NASA, GoogleX, Tesla, and 2 physicians: 6 exits, 2 IPOs.
Our model outperforms Claude, Gemini, and GPT-4.5 on clinical benchmarks.
400+ healthcare orgs signed in 16 months.
⚡ $25M raised from YC, Amity Ventures, Sequoia scouts, and more.
$1T+ market opportunity. We’re going after all of it.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and operate a self-hosted voice agent stack for UAE/KSA with strong reliability, compliance, and data residency guarantees.

  • Implement enterprise EHR integrations with Epic and Cerner, including HL7/FHIR data flows.

  • Ship core features such as registration and scheduling, billing and insurance, and prior authorization.

  • Establish rigorous QA and automated testing for nurse triage and other safety-critical workflows.

  • Own observability and reliability for voice: implement monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting, SLOs and SLIs, incident response, and drive MTTR down.

  • Partner closely with Product and Design to ensure a cohesive end-to-end patient experience.

Hard Requirements

  • 5+ years in software engineering at early-stage companies with rapid growth.

  • Ability to operate in regulated healthcare (HIPAA) and design for safety, privacy, and security.

  • Proven reliability engineering using observability, SLOs/SLIs, incident management, and MTTR improvement.

  • Strong communication skills and comfort leading early customer-facing technical sessions.

  • Proficiency in TypeScript and familiarity with real-time telephony and media (e.g., SIP, WebRTC, IVR).

Nice-to-Have

  • Prior self-hosted or on-prem deployments with regional compliance, including UAE/KSA.

  • Hands-on experience across the voice stack: ASR, TTS, LLM orchestration, dialog/control logic, and call handling.

  • Enterprise EHR integration experience (Epic, Cerner) with HL7/FHIR fundamentals.

  • Nurse triage or clinical call-flow experience and automated test harnesses for safety checks.

First-Month Focus

  • Take ownership of the Omar and Nasser workstream and align on a thin-slice delivery plan.

  • Map the highest-value use cases and call scripts and propose a cohesive patient journey.

  • Stand up a self-hosted prototype for UAE/KSA and validate reliability and compliance requirements.

Success OKRs (90 Days)

  • Operate a reliable, self-hosted voice agent slice in UAE/KSA with clear SLOs and a material reduction in MTTR.

  • Launch at least one pilot integration with Epic or Cerner demonstrating end-to-end patient flows.

  • Support high-volume patient interactions with strong quality metrics (CSAT, containment rate, handoff accuracy).

  • Deliver 3–5 new sub-agents or features, instrumented for learning and iteration.

Culture Fit

  • Persistent, driven problem solver.

  • Willing to push back on leadership to defend quality/timelines.

  • Thrives in high-ambiguity, fast-paced startup environments.
