zero-downtime data migration techniques. - Demonstrated understanding of microservices architecture, design patterns, clean architecture, and API design (REST / gRPC). - Hands-on mindset toward automated testing (unit, integration, E2E) and modern CI/CD pipelines. - Excellent written communication, with a habits-first approach to documentation and asynchronous updates. - Proven ability to mentor and guide junior developers effectively in an office setting. - Experience with high-throughput or real-time event platforms such as Kafka, SQS, or WebSockets. - Prior experience participating in a monolith-to-microservices migration. - Experience with cloud data warehousing or analytics pipelines, such as BigQuery or Dataform. Company Summary Over the years, we've come across hundreds of enterprises trying to solve different business problems using telecom. As we progressed, we realized the need for a deeper understanding of how telecom worked and how that knowledge could help build a better system that can be more powerful and scalable. So, we decided to build that and here we are. Today, the focus is largely on embracing AI across multiple functions in our solutions to make it even better. As we look forward, the thoughts are towards building a "deep telecom" company, as we call it, which can help ease the technology-driven challenges in the current business telephony segment.
