Overview
tekFinder have an exciting new Agentic AI Lead role, for someone with a specialisation in voice interaction based in Sydney, to lead design, development, and deployment of voice-based autonomous agents.
We're looking for someone interested in using collection sets of AI models to achieve multiple different outputs and has experience in building LLM and, SLMs to solve various problems. To clarify this is a Voice Interaction based AI role, not Voice recognition. They are different things.
Responsibilities
Architect and build voice-agent systems with strong capabilities in speech recognition, speech synthesis, and natural language understanding.
Design and implement multi-agent workflows and voice-based agent orchestration (e.g. agents that coordinate tasks via voice, perhaps with fallback to text or chat).
Integrate voice agents with LLMs, tool-calling, and external systems (APIs, knowledge bases).
Build robust pipelines: ASR, TTS, NLU, dialog management; ensure low latency, high accuracy, and naturalness.
Ensure production readiness: reliability, scalability, monitoring, drift detection, bias & fairness in voice systems.
Mentor and manage a small team of engineers/data scientists working in voice/agentic AI.
Required Qualifications
3-5+ years experience with voice technologies (ASR, TTS, speech pipelines), NLP/dialogue systems, or voice UI design.
Demonstrated experience building AI/ML systems in production, especially with voice or multimodal interaction.
Hands-on experience with LLMs and agent-frameworks (e.g. LangChain, LangGraph, Autogen, or equivalents).
Experience with vector databases, RAG pipelines, knowledge bases.
Robust programming skills (e.g. Python), familiarity with deployment technologies (Docker, cloud services like AWS / GCP / Azure).
Familiarity with latency, throughput optimization, memory constraints, real-time systems.
Understanding of voice-specific challenges (noise, accents, latency, context switching).
Strong communication skills; experience working cross-functionally (product, UX, engineering).
Prior work in conversational systems that handle mixed input (voice + text).
Published work or patents in voice / agentic / conversational AI.
Salary
: negotiable but around the $200k + super range.
