Job Description
About Altur
We are building what essentially is an ultra-efficient call center powered purely by AI agents. Our agents handle tens of thousands of conversations every day for LatAm’s most important financial institutions.
We operate in a highly competitive space, but we have a strong technical advantage: our product is fully built in-house (minus the foundational models). This has allowed us to grow faster with a smaller team compared to other companies trying to compete, this is why this role is so essential for our company.
