Telephony Integration: Set up SIP/CCaaS/PSTN routing, pass metadata, configure fallbacks, and troubleshoot call quality. Prompt Design & Optimization: Write and refine prompts for LLM-driven agents, monitor performance, test iteratively, and ensure agents meet automation and containment targets. Strategic Partner: Translate customer requirements into actionable solutions; work consultatively to unblock challenges in security, connectivity, or knowledge ingestion.
