Senior Software Engineer – VoIP at Podium81 — Remote
Full job description
Senior Software Engineer (VoIP)
We're building the tools that help local businesses connect, grow, and win.
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who thinks like a product owner, someone who's scrappy, opinionated, and energized by taking something from zero to one, with expertise in building VoIP solutions. In this role, you will join a team of intelligent and dedicated engineers tasked with empowering local businesses by creating a modern phone service for collecting and converting leads for local businesses through AI agents. You care more about what ships than what stack you're shipping on, and you use AI tooling (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) as a genuine force multiplier, not a novelty.
What you'll do
You'll own features end-to-end, from the first design conversation to production, on a platform thousands of businesses rely on every day. You'll influence architecture, collaborate closely with product and design, and help keep our VoIP systems reliable as we scale. You'll also invest in the people around you: sharing knowledge, reviewing code, and raising the team's collective ceiling.
What you should have
- 6+ years building and shipping production systems
- A track record of owning problems end-to-end, not just executing tickets, but defining and delivering.
- Experience identifying and resolving bottlenecks and performance issues within our VoIP infrastructure
- Experience with VoIP platforms like FreeSwitch, Kamailio, OpenSIPS, Asterisk
- A hands-on, daily relationship with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) - you've figured out how to move meaningfully faster with them.
What we hope you have
- Experience at a fast-moving startup or SaaS company.
- Familiarity with distributed systems concepts: queues, event-driven architecture, horizontal scaling.
- Hands-on experience with network monitoring, network diagnostics, and network analytics tools.
- WebRTC experience: SDP negotiation, ICE/STUN/TURN, browser and mobile softphones
- Proficient in packet capture utilities and identifying application issues at the packet level.
- Experience in network, server, and application-status monitoring.
