Lucida AI builds voice-first, AI-powered products used by users across multiple countries. Backed by $6.7M in funding, we focus on real-time speech, AI-driven conversations, and scalable voice infrastructure.

We're looking for a Python Developer who will work on real-time audio, voice pipelines, and LiveKit-based systems, and help us build reliable, low-latency production systems.

This is a hands-on role with real ownership and direct impact on the core product.

What You'll Be Doing

Develop and maintain Python-based backend services for real-time voice products
Work directly with LiveKit for audio/video streaming and real-time communication
Build and optimize speech-to-speech pipelines (streaming audio, events, state handling)
Integrate AI components (ASR, TTS, LLMs) into real-time systems
Design and improve low-latency, scalable architectures
Debug performance issues related to streaming, concurrency, and networking
Collaborate closely with founders on core technical decisions
Take ownership of features from development to production

Requirements

Strong experience with Python
Experience working with real-time systems, streaming, or WebRTC-based technologies
Hands-on experience with LiveKit (or similar real-time communication frameworks)
Solid understanding of async programming, concurrency, and event-driven architectures
Experience with APIs, background workers, and production deployments
Comfortable working in a fast-moving startup environment
Good communication skills and strong ownership mentality
Proficiency in English

Nice to Have

Experience with audio processing, ASR, TTS, or voice AI systems
Familiarity with WebRTC internals
Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes)
Prior experience building scalable real-time products

Benefits

Work on core voice & AI infrastructure, not side features
High ownership and direct impact
Competitive compensation
Flexible work culture (outcome-focused)
Top-tier equipment and tools
Steep learning curve in real-time AI systems
