Applied AI Engineer

What you can expect

Deploy production AI agents for strategic customers during the sales cycle — taking Zoom Virtual Agent from proof-of-concept to live, trusted daily use within 90 days. Partner across Sales, Product, and Engineering to prove technical value, working hands-on with voice AI, integrations, and real customer data. Turn field insights into platform capabilities that scale, ensuring every deployment makes the next one faster. Your work directly accelerates revenue and shapes the product roadmap.

About the Team

We deploy Zoom Virtual Agent into live customer environments. Our team bridges Sales and Engineering through hands-on technical validation. We exist to convert pilots into production systems.

What we’re looking for

  • Demonstrate 6+ years in customer-facing technical roles shipping complex SaaS or AI/ML solutions (Solutions Engineering, Technical Account Management, or similar)
  • Deploy LLM-based agents with tool use, multi-step orchestration, and guardrails into production customer environments
  • Apply voice stack expertise across ASR, TTS, turn-taking, and barge-in, including tuning at least one major provider (ElevenLabs, Azure, Cartesia, or similar)
  • Build production integrations in Python with working knowledge of TypeScript or Go, connecting enterprise systems such as CRMs and telephony platforms
  • Write tests, log failures, and iterate against measurable targets to validate agent performance before go-live
  • Communicate technical concepts to business and engineering stakeholders with clarity and confidence
  • Bring contact centre domain knowledge (Genesys, Five9, NICE, Zoom Contact Center) or experience with AI agent platforms (Decagon, Sierra, or similar)
  • Contribute to voice agent benchmarks, open-source projects, or have experience deploying in regulated industries (healthcare, financial services, telecom)
  • Be proficient both in Japanese and English

Fraudulent Employment Offers

Zoom is aware of scams that involve fake Zoom job listings posted on third-party sites. Responding applicants are contacted primarily over email, InMail and/or chat applications by people impersonating Zoom employees. Eventually a fake offer letter is sent in exchange for personal identification information as part of a fake new-hire screening process.


Please be advised that these offers, communications and impersonations are illegitimate and fraudulent. All communication with Zoom employees come from an “@zoom.us” email address. Zoom job applicants complete an interview process including in-person (on Zoom) meetings and phone calls. Our process also requires you to create an account with our applicant tracking system, Workday. If you have already completed an application, you can access it here.


Zoom will never ask for your personally identifying information during the interview process or ask you to pay money or purchase equipment. If you have received a message from Zoom that appears suspicious, please contact careers@zoom.us.
