Forward Deployed Engineer
Ljubljana, Slovenia or remote
Soniox is building the world's most advanced real-time speech and conversational reasoning platform — powering voice AI agents, real-time translation, transcription, and intelligent automation across 60+ languages.
As a forward deployed engineer, you will work directly with some of the most innovative companies in the world, helping them design, build, and deploy real-time AI systems using Soniox. You will embed deeply with customer teams, translate ambiguous requirements into concrete architectures, and deliver production-grade solutions that demonstrate the full power of Soniox technology.
This is not a typical "support" or "solutions" role — FDEs are engineers who ship. You will own implementation success end-to-end, help customers launch high-scale AI applications, and influence our product roadmap through direct exposure to cutting-edge use cases across industries.
If you thrive in fast-moving environments, love solving hard technical problems, and enjoy working closely with customers to build real systems that go live, this role is for you.
In This Role, You Will:
- Embed with customer teams to design, architect, and implement solutions powered by Soniox's real-time streaming APIs and AI infrastructure.
- Own deployments end-to-end, from proof-of-concept to production rollout.
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, ranging from latency optimization and audio pipeline tuning to real-time event handling and API integration.
- Create reusable integration patterns, internal tooling, and best practices that scale across customers and use cases.
- Collaborate with Engineering and Product by translating customer feedback into actionable improvements.
- Advise customers on architecture, scalability, model usage, real-time systems, and multilingual speech AI optimization.
- Drive technical onboarding, training, and enablement for engineering teams adopting Soniox.
- Prototype new capabilities and build demo applications that showcase the potential of Soniox's platform.
- Serve as a trusted technical partner, ensuring customers achieve high reliability, low latency, and maximum performance with Soniox.
You Might Thrive In This Role If You:
- Have 4+ years of software engineering experience, ideally in backend, real-time systems, infrastructure, or ML/AI integrations.
- Are excellent at quickly understanding unfamiliar architectures and diving deep into ambiguous problems.
- Have strong proficiency with Python, Node.js, or Go, and experience with APIs, streaming systems, or WebSockets.
- Are comfortable designing end-to-end systems that involve cloud infrastructure, audio pipelines, or real-time event processing.
- Communicate clearly with both engineering and non-technical stakeholders.
- Are excited to work directly with customers, build trust, and drive projects to completion.
- Have a bias toward action, ownership, and shipping.
- Can context-switch across multiple deployments without losing execution quality.
- Thrive in an environment where every project is different — different stack, different application, different constraints.
Why Soniox
You'll help build one of the most technically advanced AI platforms in the world — and shape how it reaches and supports users globally.
You'll work directly with a world-class team of engineers and researchers solving frontier problems in speech and language AI.
You'll have a voice in how our company grows, how our customers succeed, and how AI transforms human communication.
