<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>About Dialpad<br></strong></span><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Dialpad is the AI-native business communications platform. We unify calling, messaging, meetings, and contact center on a single platform - powered by AI that understands every conversation in real time.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">More than 70,000 companies around the globe, including WeWork, Asana, NASDAQ, AAA Insurance, COMPASS Realty, Uber, Randstad, and Tractor Supply, rely on Dialpad to build stronger customer connections using real-time, AI-driven insights.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We’re now leading the shift to Agentic AI: intelligent agents that don’t just analyze conversations but take action by automating workflows, resolving customer issues, and accelerating revenue in real time. Our DAART initiative (Dialpad Agentic AI in Real Time) is redefining what a communications platform can do.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Visit <a href="https://dialpad.com/">dialpad.com</a> to learn more.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Being a Dialer</strong></span><br><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">At Dialpad, AI isn’t just a feature; it’s how our teams do their best work every day. We put powerful AI tools in every employee’s hands so they can move faster, think bigger, and achieve more.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We believe every conversation matters. And we’ve built the platform that turns those conversations into insight and action, for our customers and ourselves.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We look for people who are intensely curious and hold themselves to a high bar. Our ambition is significant, and achieving it requires a team that operates at the highest level. We seek individuals who embody our core traits:<strong> Scrappy, Curious, Optimistic, Persistent, and Empathetic</strong>.</span></p></div><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Your role<br></strong>We are hiring AI Systems Engineers to help build that machinery.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">This role is for engineers who like consequential junctions: between training outputs and deployable artifacts, between runtime systems and safe release, between quality claims and evidence, and between ambitious AI plans and systems that can actually carry them.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">This is not a research role, and it is not a generic support role. It is an implementation-heavy, building-focused engineering role on a small team responsible for making in-house AI capabilities easier to package, evaluate, deploy, promote, operate, and improve.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">AI Platform Engineering exists to shorten the path from emerging AI capability to reliable production impact. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">We build the shared systems, standards, and delivery pathways that let in-house models and AI capability packages move from candidate state into observable, rollback-safe production operation. Our work sits at the junction between model development, runtime systems, evaluation, and delivery. We enable the broader AI Platform division by making it faster and safer to ship new capabilities, improve existing ones, and learn from production behavior.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">This is a new team. The systems, interfaces, and standards are still being shaped. The work is highly consequential, highly practical, and closely tied to the company’s broader AI strategy. We are not building one-off demos or isolated launches. We are building the machinery by which a growing AI organization can repeatedly deliver real capability into production.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>What you’ll do</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">You will help design, build, and improve the systems that connect AI capability development to production reality.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Depending on your strengths, that may include work such as:</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Improving how model and capability artifacts are packaged, versioned, promoted, and rolled back.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Building or improving deployment and release pathways for AI-backed services.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Enabling shadow-serving, staged rollout, and candidate-versus-incumbent comparison.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Strengthening runtime behavior, observability, and debugging for model-backed systems.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Building or automating evaluation systems that make release decisions evidence-based.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Reducing bespoke coordination and strengthening the shared rails used by multiple AI teams.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The exact balance will depend on your background and the team’s evolving needs. What will not vary is the mission: your work should make the broader AI Platform organization faster, safer, and more effective at turning in-house AI capability into production reality.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Skills you’ll bring</strong></span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent related experience.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">2 to 6 years of professional software engineering experience, with a proven track record of shipping production infrastructure or real systems that matter.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Experience in writing solid, maintainable production code and applying strong software engineering fundamentals to solve complex debugging challenges.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Experience in operating within ambiguous, cross-functional environments where requirements evolve and interfaces are real.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Expertise in building for reproducibility, operability, and rollout safety, focusing on the quality of change rather than just local implementation.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Nice to have</strong></span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Experience with cloud infrastructure, containerized environments, managed ML platforms, or service orchestration systems.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Experience with model serving, deployment systems, experiment tracking, artifact/version management, or ML lifecycle tooling.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Experience with distributed systems, service platforms, search/relevance systems, internal enablement tooling, or production AI platforms.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Experience with testing, benchmarking, experimentation systems, or evaluation frameworks that informed release decisions.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Exposure to applied AI, speech, conversational systems, customer-facing workflows, or other production ML domains.</span></li> </ul><div class="content-pay-transparency"><div class="pay-input"><div class="description"><p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">For exceptional talent based in </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ontario, Canada</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;the target base salary range for this position is posted below. </span><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.
