Build and improve a realtime multimodal agent (Aidan) across voice, vision, browser interaction, and a self-improving context graph. Improve runtime latency, perception, skills extraction from demos, action planning for live browser use, and automated improvement pipelines that learn from suboptimal actions.

About Sable

Sable built Aidan, the first AI employee who can lead customer calls using realtime voice, vision, and browser use. Aidan runs a live, two-way conversation inside a real product environment, clicking through the product like a human, watching the user's screen, and adapting the journey on the fly. Every conversation feeds a self-improving context graph we call the Brain, so Aidan gets smarter with each call.

The role

You build Aidan himself. You empower Aidan to orchestrate his abilities across four modalities in realtime: voice (two-way, multilingual conversation), hands (live browser use inside real products), eyes (proactive vision on the user's screen), the Brain (a self-improving context graph), and the verifiers (how we can keep evaluating Aidan's performance in real scenarios). Making that feel human is one of the hardest engineering problems in AI, and our engineering team's unique ability to solve it is what makes Sable special.

What you'll do
  • Improve agent runtime across topics like voice latency, perception, personalization, action planning for live browser use

  • Build out the Skills system: turning screen recordings and human-led demos into reliable, durable knowledge of how to operate a customer's UI

  • Advance perception: improve Aidan's ability to see and understand the user's screen in realtime and use those visuals to decide when and how to intervene

  • Strengthen the improvement engine: study Aidan's interactions to determine where he took a suboptimal action, what he could have done better, and how he can use those moments to learn and improve automatically

Who you are
  • Engineer with deep experience in at least one of: realtime systems (voice/streaming/media), LLM agents and orchestration, browser/computer use, and applied ML such as multimodal evals

  • Comfortable in a small team where you own problems end to end and communicate fluidly

  • Preferred: previous experience at a leading AI company or institution

What you need to know about the San Francisco Tech Scene

San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area attracts more startup funding than any other region in the world. Home to Stanford University and UC Berkeley, leading VC firms and several of the world’s most valuable companies, the Bay Area is the place to go for anyone looking to make it big in the tech industry. That said, San Francisco has a lot to offer beyond technology thanks to a thriving art and music scene, excellent food and a short drive to several of the country’s most beautiful recreational areas.

Key Facts About San Francisco Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 365,500; 13.9% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Google, Apple, Salesforce, Meta
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, cloud computing, fintech, consumer technology, software
  • Funding Landscape: $50.5 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Bessemer Venture Partners, Greylock Partners, Khosla Ventures, Kleiner Perkins
