We're currently seeking passionate individuals who are excited about the opportunity to contribute to an industry-shaping company while growing their own skills and careers.
The Opportunity
As an Elixir Telephony Engineer at Telnyx, you will create and deploy groundbreaking applications that are part of the Telnyx Telephony platform. Projects often start with a kickstart question and our Engineers lead the way in developing a solution, from high-level system design and prototyping to application development and data integration. As a Telnyx software engineer, you leverage everything around you: Telnyx products, open source technologies, and anything you and your team can build to drive real impact.
AI-assisted engineering is an integral part of how we work. We actively use AI agents to accelerate software development, troubleshoot complex issues, and assist with deployments and operational workflows. We leverage our own Telnyx Inference product to power AI-driven engineering workflows, continuously exploring new ways to improve developer productivity, code quality, and operational efficiency.
You work with users around the globe, where you help our customers by solving their communications challenges. Each mission presents different challenges, from the regulatory environment to the nature of the data to the user population. You will work to accommodate all aspects of an environment to drive real technical outcomes.
You Will:
• Design, build, and maintain APIs, services, and systems across Telnyx’s telephony engineering teams.
• Work with engineers across the company to build new telephony features at large-scale.
• Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes.
• Identify, optimize and resolve issues related to latency, scalability, and performance of core telephony infrastructure.
What We're Looking For
• Have 2+ years of professional software development experience with the Elixir programming language.
• Have deep knowledge of microservice architecture patterns and anti-patterns.
• Understand the challenges inherent in concurrent and distributed programming.
• 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.
Bonus Points For
• SIP and other VoIP related protocols and technologies like RTP, WebRTC, ICE, STUN, TURN
• Consul, Docker, Kubernetes, Github Actions, Ansible, Grafana, Graylog, Prometheus
