Placing Shopify + AI developers, see open talent

AI & Data

Hire AI voice agent developers who ship voice agents that handle real calls, not scripted demos.

Real-time voice AI, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and the orchestration layer between them, built by engineers who've shipped agents onto live phone lines, where a 400ms latency spike is the difference between a natural call and a dropped one.

Why hire through Code Elevator
Latency-tested, not demo-tested. We vet for engineers who've measured and cut round-trip latency on a live pipeline, not just wired an API together.
Telephony-literate. Real phone infrastructure (SIP, call transfer, DTMF) is a different skill from a browser voice widget, and we screen for it specifically.
Fallback discipline. Every candidate can explain how their agent hands off to a human when confidence drops, not just what happens on the happy path.

Questions

Answered before you ask.

Structured, high-volume calls with a bounded scope, appointment booking, order status, tier-one support triage, outbound reminders. Anything genuinely open-ended or emotionally sensitive should still route to a human, and we design the handoff for exactly that.

Streaming STT/TTS instead of waiting for full utterances, a small fast model for turn-taking decisions, and a hard latency budget enforced in the pipeline itself, not just aspired to.

Yes. Typically through SIP trunking or a Twilio number pointed at your existing PBX, so it slots into call routing you already have rather than replacing your phone system.

Every call is transcribed and scored against a rubric (task completion, escalation correctness, tone), so regressions show up in a dashboard, not in a customer complaint.

What you're not risking

Every way out of this hire is already written down.

Two-week replacement

Not a fit? Replace anyone in the first two weeks. No questions asked, no replacement fee. We re-match from the same vetted pool.

No lock-in

Dedicated and managed engagements run on a monthly rolling contract. Cancel with notice.

Rate agreed up front

You see the number before you commit. Nothing is added on top of it later.
