- Build secure, compliant integrations and user experiences, including stronger validation, security hardening, and privacy-minded product changes
- Deliver user-facing UX improvements that reduce friction and increase clarity, ensuring internal and external tools are fast, intuitive, and accessible
- Collaborate cross-functionally and drive projects to completion, partnering with Product, QA, Design, and other engineering teams to deliver roadmap items and high-severity fixes
- Raise engineering standards through code review and technical mentorship, setting patterns for maintainability, observability, and robust integration design
Skills
- Ability to write extendable, maintainable, and traceable code, with clear boundaries and clean abstractions in integration-heavy codebases
- Strong backend development experience—ideally using Python and/or TypeScript—with experience building and delivering production services. Comfortable contributing across the stack is a plus
- Experience with real-world integrations, including REST APIs, webhooks, third-party services, and robust handling of failures and edge cases
- Proficiency with asynchronous programming, concurrency, and building scalable backend services
- Solid grounding in computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, and software design, and the ability to apply that knowledge to production systems
- Good understanding of common cloud-native architectural and code design patterns, and how they impact reliability, scalability, and cost
- Comfort with production operations and observability, using logs, metrics, and traces to diagnose issues and guide improvements
- Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across distributed systems, networking, and production environments
- Experience with real-time multimedia Telephony/VOIP architecture, and protocols like SIP and RTP/SRTP
- Experience with real-time protocols like WebRTC and WebSockets
- Great sense of ownership and productive autonomy, with good discernment around trade-offs between speed and quality, especially under time pressure
- Ethical decision-making and user-first thinking, consistently putting the end user at the center of technical and product decisions
- Good familiarity with AI coding agents and how to leverage them to build reliable software (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools)
- 3+ years of experience designing and building scalable APIs, microservices, or distributed systems
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field
- 3+ years of professional experience as a Backend Software Engineer (or Full Stack Software Engineer with a strong backend focus), preferably using TypeScript or Python
- Experience with real-time multimedia communication platforms such as LiveKit is a plus
- Experience optimizing applications for low-latency or real-time workloads is a plus
