  • Participate in a shared on-call rotation after completing team training and production-readiness onboarding.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of professional software development experience building and operating distributed backend services in production.

  • Proven track record of diagnosing and resolving complex issues in distributed systems.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with real-time communication protocols and streaming frameworks.
  • Experience integrating with telephony, contact-center, CPaaS, or meeting platforms.
