Nine salaried roles. One address in Lehi, Utah. A salary band that tops at $225,000, Zero G Talent's board reported. And a name shared with a logistics carrier that has nothing to do with AI. This guide maps the complete candidate journey at Sameday — from the teams and roles the company hires for, through compensation and interview stages, to the physical work sites and the traits that lead to success, giving candidates a clear picture of what it takes to get hired and whether they should apply.
Roles & Compensation
Sameday builds AI voice agents for home-service businesses — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and the roster reflects that focus. The company doesn't hire generalists hoping to learn the domain later. It hires engineers and product people who can ship reliable, low-latency voice infrastructure in a vertical where a dropped call means a lost job.
Zero G Talent's board, ingesting listings directly from the company's career page, shows nine salaried roles in Lehi with a combined band of $82,000–$225,000 and a $165,000 median. The tightest clustering sits in the $155,000–$225,000 range for senior individual-contributor positions, according to Zero G Talent's board.

Senior ICs top out at $225,000 base, Zero G Talent's data shows; mid-level backend and product roles cap around $165,000, Zero G Talent's figures put. No public filing breaks out variable cash bonuses or refresh grants, and the board listings don't surface equity detail. Candidates should ask recruiters directly about the option pool percentage, vesting schedule, and whether refreshes are tied to performance reviews or tenure (standard practice at this stage but not advertised).
Benefits are clearer. BuiltIn's profile of Sameday Health (about 170 people, founded 2020) confirms health insurance, a 401(k) plan, employee discounts, and free snacks and drinks at the Venice and Lehi offices. The SSDJobs portal — which lists hourly delivery and driver roles under the Sameday brand in the Northeast, shows a different package for those positions: hourly pay plus tips, overtime eligibility, health, dental, and 401(k), plus paid training and uniforms. A King Kullen Island Park delivery driver posting quotes $17 an hour plus tips. These are operationally distinct workforces; the engineering compensation above does not apply to driver or warehouse roles.
Sameday recruits from that pool but filters for people who have wrestled with telephony stacks, WebRTC, or large-language-model latency budgets. The AI Emphasis title isn't decorative. The voice agents must parse intent, manage conversation state, and hand off to humans without the caller noticing the seam. That requires engineers who understand token streaming, function calling, and the failure modes of both.
QA gets a senior slot at near-parity with frontend and backend, unusual for a company this size. The stakes explain it: a voice agent that hallucinates a warranty claim or misroutes an emergency dispatch creates liability the customer can't undo with a refund. Test infrastructure is product infrastructure.
Product management is lean, with one posted role, which means the PM who joins owns the full loop from customer discovery through model evals to release. They'll sit next to engineers who expect specs in the form of failing tests, not slide decks. The compensation band puts the role at a discount to senior engineering, but the scope is wider: pricing, onboarding flows, compliance with TCPA and state telemarketing rules, and the feedback loop that turns call transcripts into better prompts.
The company doesn't publish a public org chart. The posting pattern suggests a flat engineering structure. The next hires will be peers to the current seniors, not reports. Candidates interviewing should expect technical evaluation relevant to voice-agent failure modes, not abstract algorithm puzzles. The work is specific, the stack is narrow, and the bar is set by the last call that went wrong.
Inside the Interview Loop
Sameday's public hiring footprint is thin. The careers page lists open roles but publishes no detailed breakdown of interview stages, screening rubrics, or timeline expectations. What follows is reconstructed from the roles themselves — eight salaried engineering and product positions posted on the Zero G Talent board, all based in Lehi, and the broader market pattern for Utah tech companies of this size.
The stack is modern: backend, front-end, fullstack with an AI emphasis, QA, and product management. Candidates should expect a loop that validates production-grade code ownership, system design judgment, and, for the AI-emphasis role, familiarity with LLM integration patterns: RAG, tool use, eval frameworks. A Product Manager interview will likely probe prioritization frameworks, stakeholder management, and evidence of shipping in a B2B or high-velocity consumer environment. The QA role signals investment in test automation and CI/CD maturity; be ready to discuss flaky test mitigation and contract testing.
No public Glassdoor or Blind threads detail Sameday's specific stages. The broader market for similarly sized Utah tech companies typically runs four to five steps: recruiter screen, hiring-manager phone, a take-home or live coding session (often system design for senior tracks), a virtual onsite panel (three to four interviews covering domain depth, architecture, and behavioral), and a final values or culture conversation. Timelines vary; smaller Utah tech shops often close faster when they have conviction.
A strong application is inferable from the roles. Tailor the resume to the specific posting: "Senior Backend Engineer" wants distributed systems, observability, and scale narratives; "Fullstack Engineer (AI Emphasis)" wants shipped LLM features, not just API calls. Link a GitHub repo or portfolio that demonstrates the exact muscle the JD calls out. Cover letters are optional but useful for the PM track, one page framing your hardest prioritization call and the outcome. Referrals carry weight; the Lehi talent pool is tight, and a warm intro from a current engineer or a Utah tech community can shortcut the queue.
Red flags to watch: a process that compresses all technical evaluation into a single 45-minute call, or an offer extended before you've met the team you'd join. Speed alone isn't a signal, but speed without depth usually means the bar is low or the churn is high. Sameday's salary bands sit at market rates for the region, which suggests they're competing for talent that has options. Treat the loop as a two-way evaluation: ask about on-call rotation, deploy frequency, and how the AI team validates model quality in production. The answers will tell you more than any employer-brand page.
Two Companies, One Name
The candidate who succeeds at Sameday depends entirely on which Sameday they join. The research surfaces two distinct operations sharing a name: a decades-old logistics carrier with terminals in Bluffton, Indiana; Hillside, New Jersey; and Olympia, Washington; and a Lehi, Utah-based AI software company hiring senior engineers and product managers at $145k–$225k. The traits that predict success diverge sharply.
The logistics carrier: consistency, patience, route discipline
Indeed reviews from 2019–2022 paint a coherent picture of the driver and technician experience. Work-life balance scores four out of five — the highest single category, and job security and advancement matches it at four out of five. Three reviewers who stayed 14 to 24 years cite the same fundamentals: consistent daily work, home every night, no weekend shifts, and flexible scheduling. A reviewer who started March 13, 1998 noted the first months were slow before ramping to five days a week; a 2022 reviewer with 23 years' tenure summarized it as "every job has its ups and downs" but valued the steadiness.
Assigned trucks (no slip seating for full-timers) and leased equipment rated positively. The 2019 review called equipment "over all good." A 2020 reviewer described deliveries ranging from medical supplies to aircraft parts across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, variety that demands attention to handling requirements. The 2019 review also flagged the pace: "fast-paced environment where work needs to be completed on time and done excellently."
Who thrives here? Drivers and technicians who prioritize predictable hours over peak earnings (pay and benefits sits at three out of five), who can endure a slow onboarding ramp, who value assigned equipment and no-weekend schedules, and who treat on-time, damage-free execution as a baseline rather than a stretch goal. The 100% positive sentiment on Comparably (six reviews) aligns with the Indeed scores, but the sample is thin; treat it as directional, not definitive.
The AI software company: senior craft, AI fluency, product ownership
Zero G Talent's board lists six salaried roles in Lehi, all senior or lead level: Senior Backend Engineer ($175k–$225k), Fullstack Engineer with AI emphasis ($165k–$225k), Senior QA Engineer ($155k–$215k), Senior Front-end Engineer ($155k–$215k), Backend Engineer ($145k–$165k), and Product Manager ($135k–$165k). The "AI emphasis" tag on the fullstack role and the company's own blog (sameday.ai) covering AI phone answering, call automation, and CRM integration for home-service businesses signal the technical center of gravity.
No employee reviews for this entity appear in the research. But the role design — senior-heavy, narrow salary spreads, AI-specific fullstack slot, implies a team that expects production-ready engineers who can ship LLM-backed features without hand-holding. Product managers at $135k–$165k suggest a product-led org where PMs own outcomes, not just backlogs.
Who thrives here? Engineers with direct experience integrating LLMs or voice AI into production systems, and comfort owning features end-to-end. QA candidates who write test infrastructure, not just test cases. PMs who have shipped B2B SaaS to trades or home-service verticals. The Lehi location also filters for candidates willing to work on-site in Utah County's tech corridor.
The tension
A driver evaluating the Bluffton terminal cares about assigned trucks and no weekends; a senior backend engineer evaluating Lehi cares about GPU access and model latency. They share a name, a 3.7 overall rating (logistics only), and little else. Candidates should verify which entity posted the role before tailoring their application, the traits that get you hired at one will not map to the other.
