Senior AI Voice Engineer Needed — Build a Production-Grade Australian Voice Agent

Job ID: 40007323

Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 AUD

I’m looking for a senior AI engineer (individual only — no agencies, no juniors) to build a production-grade Australian-accent voice agent for a financial services company.

This agent must conduct fully conversational calls (inbound + outbound), qualify leads, and book appointments into my calendar using real-time reasoning, not rigid scripts.

This is not a simple “IVR bot” job — I’m seeking someone who has already built human-level voice automation before.

Scope
Core capabilities

Natural, real-time conversation (<500ms latency)

Australian accent with human-like prosody (RetellAI / ElevenLabs preferred)

Intent detection and multi-intent handling (refinance, pre-approval, etc.)

Dynamic qualification logic (editable, no code changes)

Automated calendar booking

JSON data logging + real-time CRM API push (I use Connective + open API)

Call recordings + transcripts

Smart handoff when confidence drops below threshold

Workflows

Outbound calls to supplied lists

Inbound calls from campaigns

AI gathers structured data → qualifies → books → pushes to CRM

If unqualified, exits politely while still capturing insights

Technical Requirements

Must have direct experience integrating:

RetellAI, Dialogflow, Rasa, or comparable conversational stack

Twilio / Amazon Connect / Retell Voice API

ElevenLabs for voice

API integration (Python/Node)

Calendar APIs

Compliance: call recording, transcript storage, consent handling

Stable, production deployment (Docker, cloud hosting, versioning)

Must deliver:

Source code + deployment instructions (no lock-in)

Documentation + brief video walkthrough

A test phone line

A working demo that books a real calendar slot

Ideal Background

5+ years building conversational AI (voice, not just chat)

Previous voice agent/LLM automation in finance, insurance, or healthcare

Experience with Retrieval-Augmented Generation + rule engines

Comfortable optimizing latency + handling edge cases

If you have not built actual live phone-based AI agents before, please do not apply.

What to include in your proposal

Short and to the point:

Your recommended tech stack

Links or short videos of previous voice bots you personally built

A high-level architecture diagram (optional but preferred)

Estimated timeline + milestones

Confirmation you can deliver Australian accent voice
