The global staffing industry is $600B+ and still runs on manual phone calls and gut feelings. We built AI agents that screen, interview, and score candidates 24/7, live, in real time, at a fraction of the cost. We work alongside staffing agencies across the US and Europe who expect speed, accuracy, and scale, and we hold ourselves to the same bar. Already running thousands of AI-powered screens, our agents place candidates within days of going live and cut screening costs by 90%.\nYC-backed. Seed-stage with years of runway. AI penetration in staffing is still under 1%, and there's no dominant platform yet. We're building it, AI-native from day one.\nJoining Asendia means three things:\nWe lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.\n\nWe fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.\n\nWe build with AI: the best tools, in the product, and in how we ship.\n\nMission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts. If you're driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar, this is the place.\nThe role\nAs a Product Engineer at Asendia, you'll build the AI agents that are the product, the voice interviewers that talk to thousands of candidates, and the systems that turn those conversations into decisions. You'll work across the stack with real ownership and autonomy, and see your work hit real users the same week you ship it.\nWhat you'll be doing:\nDesign and ship voice AI agents: real-time phone interviews with sub-300ms latency (LLM orchestration, WebSockets, FastAPI)\nBuild the prompt and agent architecture: reusable, multi-vertical interviewer systems, each client customizes their own screening logic, voice personality, compliance rules\nTurn messy voice conversations into structured, reliable candidate scores\nRun evals and reliability work: audit agents across a live fleet, catch regressions, keep behavior consistent at scale\nBuild the agentic infrastructure that lets every client spin up and tune their own screening workflows\nWho you are\nA passionate engineer who's shipped AI agents end-to-end, not demos, things real users hit\nFluent with LLMs, prompting, and agent orchestration; you know where models break and how to engineer around it\nYou build with AI tools, not around them. Agentic coding is part of how you ship\nStrong in Python and comfortable across the stack; you don't wait on anyone to finish a feature\nHigh-agency: no docs, no playbook, a client deadline on Friday-you figure it out\nYou think about the product, not just code-you understand why a screening flow matters to a recruiter and build accordingly\nBonus: voice/speech systems, real-time streaming, eval frameworks, or prior staffing/recruitment experience.\nComplete the application form and attach your CV.\nAn introductory conversation to get to know you, share more about Asendia, and discuss what you’re looking for.\nA deeper dive into your technical skills, experience, and approach to problem-solving.\nYou’ll receive a case or challenge relevant to the role, followed by a 60-minute presentation and discussion with the team. (Usually paid)\nA final conversation with Rihab (our CEO) to ensure mutual fit and alignment.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3204,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Recruiting & Staffing","Recruiting Software & ATS"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-31T03:56:13Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":81,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":0.945,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:2","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/asendia-ai-product-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/asendia-ai-product-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T09:16:03Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14435,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":97824},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=97824"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fasendia-ai-product-engineer-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fasendia-ai-product-engineer-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fasendia-ai-product-engineer-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/asendia-ai-product-engineer-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fasendia-ai-product-engineer-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3560550}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"asendia.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3560550},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
