• Work with engineers across the company to build new features at large-scale.
• Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes.

• Have an appreciation of functional programming and a strong desire to become an expert Elixir programmer.
• Have experience working with relational databases at scale.
• Have deep knowledge of microservice architecture patterns and anti-patterns.
• Have experience with message queues like RabbitMQ and Kafka.
• Understand the challenges inherent in concurrent and distributed programming.
• Have experience with more exotic databases/key-value stores such as ETS, Mnesia and Redis.
• Have familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, Consul, Jenkins, Prometheus, or RabbitMQ.

Bonus Points For

• You take a thoughtful approach to decision making, knowing when to move fast and when to long-term optimize.
• You want to work in a fast-paced, product-driven environment.
• You keep up to date with the latest technologies and patterns, and enjoy sharing what you’ve learned.

How we work

Telnyx is a diverse, inclusive organization focused on solving problems, building intelligently, and documenting our logic. We’re a connectivity and networking leader, with industry experts and engineers who have built our cloud-agnostic platform in-house, from the ground up. We’re a concierge customer success team and a 24/7 support team. We’re a communications partner, focused on agile innovation, not a telecom slogged in antiquated processes and anti-competitive regulation. We’re an enterprise-grade conversation enabler, powering the global, enriched, multi-channel communications that today’s customers demand.

We're looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. We believe in transparency, proactivity, and mutual respect. We provide the high-grade tools that help you do your best work, and keep up the collaborative habits that help everyone stay in the loop. No matter where you're based or which team you’re on, you’re plugged in, supported, and helping to shape the future of communications.
