Senior Cloud Systems Engineer, SRE

Replicant was founded on the belief that machines are ready to have useful, complex conversations that will transform the way they interact with the world, starting with customer service.

As the leader in Contact Center Automation, Replicant helps companies automate their most common customer service calls while empowering agents to focus on more complex and nuanced customer challenges. Replicant’s AI platform allows consumers to engage in natural conversations across voice, messaging and other digital channels to resolve their customer support issues, without the wait, 24/7. We are now leading the way in using Large Language Models (LLMs) to transform customer service- again.

If you’re excited by AI, ChatGPT, LLMs and want to make an impact with other great technologists and strong go-to-market leaders, then look no further. We’ve grown our team by 3x, increased revenue by 4x, and were named a top enterprise AI company by The Information. We currently serve Fortune 500 customers, run millions of AI calls per month in production, and are increasing our footprint globally.

Replicant integrates with multiple internal and third party services to ensure that each phone call is orchestrated seamlessly – dealing with various different transfer protocols and telephony systems, ML models, and web services – all in real time with minimal latency. You’ll help us scale the systems and tools that serve as the backbone of Replicant. As we grow, we need your help and expertise to iterate towards our next generation core platform and tools, orchestrating logic between the telephony layer, NLU engine, and business integrations to help our customers reach successful outcomes with natural conversations.

Our Values

Replicant has three core values. It is critical that everyone who joins the team feels excited and moved by these values as every new team member makes an impact on our culture.

Blade Runners: We take ownership and pride to influence the outcomes of our goals. We are successful, and like a Blade Runner, use the tools at our disposal to reach our objectives. We value open and honest communication and proactively seek feedback along the way. We are a company driven to grow and achieve both individually and as a team.

Bread Makers: We are humble and strive toward an egalitarian culture. No task is too big or too small. We work together to achieve our goals and develop our company mission. We believe that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts in everything that we do.

Självdistans (Self-Distance): Självdistans is Swedish for self-distance. It’s the ability to critically reflect on oneself and one’s relations from an external perspective. With this in mind, we act with objectivity and always remember that we are not our work. There’s no perfect science to growing a team or business, but we trust everyone at Replicant to point out our blind spots and humbly admit their own.
