About the role

Sanas is building a real-time speech AI platform focused on accent translation, noise cancellation, speech enhancement, and cross-language communication. The role involves setting technical direction across multiple teams, owning real-time performance, and shaping architecture for a platform that runs in live conversations, with hands-on coding and mentoring responsibilities.

Responsibilities

  • Set technical direction. Define and drive architecture across client (Desktop App / SDK), gateway and cloud backend systems.
  • Own real-time performance. Treat end-to-end latency, audio quality, CPU and memory footprint and uptime as first-class requirements.
  • Lead cross-team initiatives. Turn ambiguous, high-impact problems into clear plans and drive them to production.
  • Stay hands-on. Write and review production code, prototype new approaches and debug hard issues across client, backend, and deployment layers.
  • Make decisions visible. Write design docs and architecture decision records explaining technical choices.
  • Raise the bar. Establish and model best practices for code quality, testing, observability, security and operational excellence.
  • Mentor and grow engineers. Coach senior and mid-level engineers and influence hiring and leveling.
  • Partner beyond engineering. Collaborate with Product, Research/ML, Customer Success and leadership to shaping roadmap and surface technical risks.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
  • 8-12+ years of professional software engineering experience, including senior or staff level.
  • Track record of designing and shipping large-scale, low-latency systems in production.
  • Deep expertise in Rust, Python and/or GoLang with distributed systems and RESTful API design.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS, Docker and Kubernetes (preferably EKS), CI/CD and modern observability tooling.
  • Familiarity with PostgreSQL and ClickHouse.
  • Ability to lead through influence and drive outcomes without formal authority.
  • Clear written and verbal communication; ability to explain complex tradeoffs to engineers and non-technical partners.
  • Sound judgment on long-term vs pragmatic shipping.
