About the role

Our backend team is building a highly-available and distributed data pipeline that powers Telnyx products like Voice, Messaging and Wireless. We leverage the Telnyx private backbone network to build a cloud-agnostic data platform that processes thousands of messages per second.

We are looking for a senior Java backend engineer with deep knowledge of Java Core.

Responsibilities

• Work on 30+ microservices implemented in Java 11 and Scala that process, aggregate and expose all data our telecommunication and messaging engines generate
• Improve performance of our pipeline — we currently process 10k messages/sec and are growing
• Architect our services and pipelines so they work with minimum latency in all our locations around the world (U.S., E.U., Australia, South America)
• Implement fraud detection processes with machine learning (Kafka and Kafka Streams)
• Deploy services to multi-cloud Kubernetes environments to achieve 99.999% uptime
• Push code to production multiple times a day

Requirements

• Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent work experience
• 4+ years of experience with Java and its ecosystem of tooling
• Experience with at least one of these databases: Cassandra, ClickHouse, or OpenSearch
• Experience with AI tooling, or a strong willingness to learn

Nice to have

• Experience with Scala or another functional programming language
• Experience with Linux, Git, and Docker in a CI environment
• Experience with distributed systems and systems that maintain "five nines" (99.999%) of uptime
