Telli is hiring across engineering, design, and GTM
YC-backed Telli is opening roles as it scales its AI voice agent platform used by enterprises like Sky, with a fast-iteration culture and published principles.

Why it matters
Hiring is often a tell for product-market fit. If Telli is staffing up on-site in Berlin while claiming enterprise deployments in production, it signals customers are putting AI voice agents to work at scale. For founders and operators, the shift from demo bots to outcome-driven phone agents could open a new playbook for sales, support, and operations.
Telli is hiring across engineering, design, and go-to-market, according to its careers page.
What Telli is building
Telli makes an AI voice platform that handles customer phone calls for sales, operations, and support at scale. On its homepage, Telli positions itself as a full-stack system for building and running voice agents: a no-code Agent Studio, a curated voice library with cloning, a knowledge base, and integrations with CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot via native connectors or API. The public docs include endpoints such as v1/schedule-call for programmatic outreach.
The platform is aimed at B2C enterprises that want natural, outcome-driven conversations over the phone in 30+ languages and local accents, with real-time actions during calls, post-call workflows, analytics, and A/B testing. Telli says it can run thousands of parallel calls and supports EU hosting with compliance for GDPR, SOC 2, and the EU AI Act.
Who they are building for
The team frames the market succinctly on its careers page: every 10 minutes, 18 million business-to-consumer conversations happen worldwide, and AI will make those interactions more natural and vastly more numerous. The page claims that companies like Sky are already using Telli to deploy thousands of voice agents, and it asserts a simple product thesis: building a first agent is easy; getting it to drive measurable outcomes is the hard part.
Customer logos on telli.com include Bark, Enpal, Homeday, McMakler, and others, with case-study claims such as Enpal increasing weekly service appointments by 30%, Bark adding 800 hours of weekly calling capacity, and Homeday achieving 24/7 inbound coverage.
The roles and how this team works
Openings span multiple tracks:
While the role pages detail specific responsibilities, the common thread is a bias for shipping and ownership. The company writes that it is a small, "AI-pilled" team that likes to solve hard problems and "build, experiment, and move fast, while heavily leveraging the capabilities of AI models." The culture emphasizes low ego and high ownership, and Telli has published a set of principles describing how it works.
The bet
Telli argues that natural-language phone agents are crossing from demos to production, and that the real work is day-2: deployment, measurement, iteration, and integration into back-end systems so calls resolve to outcomes. The hiring push aligns with that focus. If the company can keep proving out its claims at enterprise scale, voice-first agents could become a new operational surface for B2C companies well beyond a triage IVR.
