Job Description
About you
We’re looking for people with a strong background or interest in building successful products or systems; you’re comfortable in dealing with lots of moving pieces; you have exquisite attention to detail; and you’re comfortable learning new technologies and systems.
The Opportunity
The team you’ll be joining is tasked with developing and maintaining the software that enables seamless and efficient delivery of Telnyx's communication and connectivity services. While you’ll be responsible for the stack that allows customers to interact with our products and platform (think api-gateway, authentication, rate-limiting, etc), you’ll also work with other engineering squads to continuously improve the way they expose and monitor their services.
- Design, build and maintain APIs, services, and systems across Telnyx’s engineering teams.
- Debug production issues across gateway, auth, network, and application layers.
- Work with engineers across the company to build new features at large-scale, both internally and externally.
- Improve engineering standards, tooling, processes, observability and reliability
What We're Looking For
- Have 3+ years of professional software development experience with an object-oriented or functional programming language (Elixir is preferred).
- Have an appreciation of functional programming and a strong desire to become an expert Elixir programmer.
- You take a thoughtful approach to decision making, knowing when to move fast and when to long-term optimize.
- Have experience working with relational databases at scale.
- Understand the challenges inherent in concurrent and distributed programming.
- Have deep knowledge of microservices architecture patterns and anti-patterns.
- Have familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, Consul, Prometheus, Grafana and/or RabbitMQ.
- You keep up to date with the latest technologies and patterns, and enjoy sharing what you’ve learned.
- You're a team player and willing to put the team's success ahead of your own.
Bonus Points For
- Experience building or operating customer-facing APIs, gateways, auth systems, or internal platforms.
- You want to work in a fast-paced, product-driven environment.
- Have experience with Envoy
