 <h3 id='about_heylibby'>About heyLibby</h3>

heyLibby is a seed-stage startup on a mission to give every small-to-midsize fitness and wellness business a world-class AI team member. We were co-founded by Spencer Rascoff, the former CEO of Zillow and current CEO of Match Group. Our AI works seamlessly across phone, email, text, and chat to help businesses manage their communications efficiently. We move fast, prioritize impact, and work closely with top industry experts. We ship fast, learn fast, and measure ourselves by the tangible impact we deliver to customers.

Why this role matters

Our voice channel is the heart of the product. We need a seasoned engineer who lives and breathes real-time audio—someone who can make every call feel like a conversation with a helpful human, not a bot. You’ll own the voice stack end-to-end: latency, natural-sounding TTS, crisp recognition, graceful live transfers, and bulletproof uptime.

<h3 id='what_you’ll_do'>What You’ll Do</h3>

<ul>
<li>
Architect &amp; Own the Voice Pipeline

Design, build, and maintain low-latency, highly available services (Twilio, SIP/WebRTC, websockets, streaming gRPC) that power phone calls at scale.
</li>

<li>
Push the Limits of Natural Speech

Integrate and fine-tune TTS/ASR models to pronounce symbols, numbers, names, and slang flawlessly. Experiment fearlessly, measure obsessively.
</li>

<li>
Deliver Call Features Users Love

Live transfers, IVR fallbacks, appointment scheduling, smart error recovery.
</li>

<li>
Optimize for Speed &amp; Reliability

Track every hop from carrier to model; squeeze milliseconds, harden edge cases, and own the on-call rotation that keeps calls flowing 24/7.
</li>

<li>
Collaborate Across the Stack

Pair with product, ML, and frontend engineers to craft APIs and in-app controls that unlock amazing end-to-end experiences.
</li>
</ul>
