Experience with telephony systems (SIP, VOIP, WebRTC.)
Background in ML infrastructure, model serving, or GPU computing
Experience with real-time audio/video processing
Infrastructure expertise: 5+ years building and scaling distributed systems, with deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP preferred)
You “get” the fundamentals, and beyond: For example, you can casually tell someone how TLS works beyond buzzwords, do a quick sketch of how different load balancing strategies work, or even tell us the obscure thing you fell asleep reading about last night. There isn’t a blank stare, there’s an excitement to share
Real-time systems experience: You've built systems that handle high-throughput, low-latency workloads, streaming, real-time processing, or similar
Startup mentality: You've worked at fast-growing companies where you wear multiple hats and solve problems as they come up
You’re opinionated, but you’re not alienating: You accept that opinions drive progress, but you don’t intend to break into alienating discussions at the risk of not finding compromises for our customers
You’re familiar with some tools/components like: Cloudflare, HAProxy, Go, TypeScript, Datadog, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Nvidia Hardware (nvlink for example), and anything in between
