• Build prototype integrations, reference implementations, and sample applications to accelerate customer development
• Help customers navigate SDKs, APIs, infrastructure, and deployment strategies for production systems
• Debug and troubleshoot complex technical issues in production environments
• Lead technical workshops and architecture sessions with developers and product teams
• Translate customer needs into technical insights that inform product and platform development
• Partner with Product and Engineering to improve developer experience, documentation, and tooling
• Act as a trusted advisor helping customers successfully launch and scale applications

Required:

• 7+ years of experience in backend or infrastructure engineering
• Proficient in one or more programming languages such as Go, Python, Node, Rust, or C++
• Comfortable working across APIs, SDKs, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure
• Experience building or integrating developer platforms or real-time systems
• Able to quickly understand complex systems and debug issues in real-world environments
• Strong communicator who can collaborate directly with customer engineering teams and internal product teams
• Comfortable operating in fast-paced environments where ownership and initiative matter
• Excited to work hands-on with customers solving complex technical implementation challenges

Preferred:

• Experience with WebRTC, real-time media systems, or telephony/SIP infrastructure
