Build next-generation voice AI systems for consumer and business applications. Develop persistent memory, complex reasoning, speech pipelines, and production-grade agentic workflows. As an early technical contributor, the ML Engineer will help shape core architecture, take ambiguous concepts through production, and influence user interactions with advanced language models in a fast-paced pre-seed startup.
Role: ML Engineer (Early Team) Location: San Francisco, CA
Cyrano is a pre-seed AI startup in San Francisco building groundbreaking technology designed for both consumer and business applications. We are creating next-generation intelligent voice AI systems rooted in persistent memory, complex reasoning, and fluid speech pipelines. As an early technical contributor, you won't just write code—you will shape our core architectural foundation, ship production-grade agentic workflows, and directly influence how users interact with state-of-the-art models.
We are looking for hands-on, builder-obsessed engineers who live and breathe LLMs, async infrastructure, and agent frameworks. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, love taking ambiguous problems from early concept to production, and want the high ownership and impact that comes with joining a lean, pre-seed startup from day one, we want to hear from you.
