Full Job Description
About Role:

This isn't a traditional engineering job. As a Customer Engineer, you'll split your time between two worlds:
  • With customers (30-40%) - working hands-on to debug integrations, unblock adoption, and help them build amazing things with Tavus.
  • With our product (the rest of the time) - building SDKs, prototypes, and enhancements to our core platform that make Tavus more powerful, intuitive, and delightful to use.

You'll be the bridge between customers and engineering, turning real-world challenges into product improvements. Your mission is simple: ensure every developer and creator has a smooth, magical experience with Tavus - backed by great docs, guides, tools, and product enhancements.

Core Responsibilities
  • Work directly with customers to debug, build POCs, and design solutions.
  • Build prototypes, SDKs, sample apps, and tools that improve developer experience.
  • Collect feedback, identify patterns, and translate them into product/engineering improvements.
  • Partner on early feature adoption: test pre-release features with customers, gather feedback, suggest iterations.
  • Help define how we develop a world class customer experience
What Makes You a Great Fit
  • Extremely solid software engineering fundamentals.
  • Deep curiosity about problems at every level of the stack, from ML to infrastructure to networking.
  • The desire to work closely with end users to understand their problems.
  • A good "PM hat" to see patterns in customer requests and use those patterns to inform product direction.
  • A strong bias toward action and a founder mindset to keep going until a problem is truly solved.
Why This Role Matters

Success means:
  • Customers integrate Tavus faster and more reliably because of your support.
  • Engineering ships changes directly informed by your field learnings.
  • Prototypes and tools you build demonstrate new use cases and accelerate adoption.
  • Product priorities are influenced by the patterns you uncover across customers.
  • The challenge is providing world class customer experience as Tavus grows, while still feeling the customer's pain and turning it into fast product improvements
