What you need
- 5+ years of professional software development experience building and operating distributed backend services in production.
- Strong proficiency in Go (Golang) or a comparable compiled language, with strong Linux/Unix, networking, concurrency, and performance tuning fundamentals.
- Hands-on experience with cloud-native architectures (AWS/GCP), containerization/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and DevOps practices (Terraform/CDK, CI/CD pipelines).
- Proven track record of diagnosing and resolving complex issues in distributed systems, including participation in on-call production support.
Nice to have
- Experience with real-time communication protocols and streaming frameworks (SIPREC, VoIP, SIP, RTP, WebRTC, WebSockets, FFmpeg, GStreamer).
- Experience integrating with telephony, contact-center, CPaaS, or meeting platforms (Amazon Connect, Genesys, Zoom, Teams, Webex).
- Experience with event-driven messaging systems (Apache Kafka/MSK), distributed caching, or service-to-service API design (REST/gRPC).
- Familiarity with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and security best practices in compliance-sensitive cloud environments.
What you get
- Competitive compensation package, including RSUs (Restricted Stock Units) for all employees.
- Remote-first environment with flexibility and autonomy.

Worth weighing
- No salary listed in the main job description, only a general pay range mentioned.
- The role is focused on product engineering rather than machine learning, which may limit exposure to ML technologies.
- Participation in on-call rotation after training may be required, which could impact work-life balance.
