Founding Engineer

Atlog (YC X25)
York, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 12/28/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 1/28/2026
About Atlog

Atlog builds compliance-first Voice AI for regulated industries. Our platform powers outbound and inbound communications for rent-to-own, automotive, leasing, and financial services businesses. We help these companies reach customers safely, automate high-volume operations, and stay fully aligned with TCPA, FDCPA, state quiet hours, consent rules, and audit trail requirements.

We’re growing extremely fast and need the engineering resources to match our demand.

About The Role

We are hiring a Founding Engineer to own core product development across our Voice AI stack. This is a high-impact, zero-bureaucracy role where you will work directly with the founders to build the systems that power real-world call centers, compliance pipelines, consent management, and AI agent orchestration.

You will shape architecture, ship fast, and help define a product that already reaches tens of thousands of customers every week. The work spans LLM integrations, real-time call flows, backend infra, dashboards, and compliance features that must be rock solid.

We are looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys owning entire features end-to-end, and wants to build a category-defining product from the earliest days.

What You Will Do

  • Design, build, and deploy core systems across our Voice AI platform including agent flows, routing rules, transcription pipelines, compliance logic, and call analytics.
  • Lead development on our Next.js front-end, FastAPI backend, and Supabase Postgres database.
  • Architect reliable and high-precision compliance features such as consent checks, quiet-hour enforcement, call ledger events, and audit trails.
  • Build tools that help customers manage locations, call scripts, commitments, and performance dashboards.
  • Improve real-time call stability, latency, and failover using our telecom partners, Redis, and event-driven workers.
  • Own production incidents end-to-end, from root-cause to fix.
  • Ship features fast, iterate directly with customers, and help drive engineering culture and standards.
  • Work closely with founders on product strategy and long-term technical direction.

What You Need To Have

  • Experience building and deploying AI agents
  • Deep understanding on how to extract the most out of AI coding tools without losing engineering fundamentals
  • Experience with Python or TypeScript backend services, ideally including FastAPI or Node.
  • Proficiency with relational databases (Postgres), SQL, and schema design.
  • Comfort working across the stack and taking ownership of complex, messy problems.
  • Clear communication and a bias toward action, iteration, and customer-driven thinking.

Bonus points

  • Experience with telephony, audio streaming, SIP, WebRTC, or real-time systems.
  • Prior work on LLM Evals
  • Experience with Supabase, Redis, Porter, or AWS.
  • Background working in regulated markets (finance, healthcare, collections, automotive).

What’s In It For You

  • A true founding seat where your decisions shape the architecture and the product.
  • Massive ownership across system design, product direction, and culture.
  • Direct exposure to real customers, real data, and real usage within days of shipping.
  • Fast pace with zero red tape. You ship. It hits production. Customers see it.
  • Competitive salary, generous equity, in person in NYC
  • A chance to build something that becomes the industry standard for safe AI communications.

Who We Are

We are a small, focused team that cares deeply about customers, compliance, and real-world results. Atlog is the compliance layer for Voice AI, helping businesses scale outreach without getting sued. We partner with regulated industries, especially in financial services, to help safely scale their AI outbound efforts.

If you want to build at the frontier of AI, telecom, and compliance, and you want your work to shape the entire category, we’d love to talk.
