About Us

Asendia AI is rebuilding how the world hires. The global staffing industry is $600B+ and still runs on manual phone calls and gut feelings. We built AI agents that screen, interview, and score candidates 24/7, live, in real time, at a fraction of the cost. We work alongside staffing agencies across the US and Europe who expect speed, accuracy, and scale, and we hold ourselves to the same bar. Already running thousands of AI-powered screens, our agents place candidates within days of going live and cut screening costs by 90%.

YC-backed. Seed-stage with years of runway. AI penetration in staffing is still under 1%, and there's no dominant platform yet. We're building it, AI-native from day one.

Joining Asendia means three things:

• We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
• We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.
• We build with AI: the best tools, in the product, and in how we ship.

Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts. If you're driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar, this is the place.

The role

As a Product Engineer at Asendia, you'll build the AI agents that are the product, the voice interviewers that talk to thousands of candidates, and the systems that turn those conversations into decisions. You'll work across the stack with real ownership and autonomy, and see your work hit real users the same week you ship it.

What you'll be doing:

• Design and ship voice AI agents: real-time phone interviews with sub-300ms latency (LLM orchestration, WebSockets, FastAPI)
