- Provide technical guidance through design reviews, code reviews, architecture decisions, and mentoring junior engineers.

- Partner closely with Product, System Test, Infrastructure, SRE, and adjacent analytics teams to deliver seamless data ingestion.

- 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.

- Strong proficiency in Go (Golang) or a comparable compiled language.

- Hands-on experience with cloud-native architectures, containerization/orchestration, and DevOps practices.

- 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.

- Experience with event-driven messaging systems, distributed caching, or service-to-service API design.
