About the role

  • Forward Deployed Engineer specializing in VoIP ensuring flawless integrations in enterprise telephony. Working with critical customer integrations and designing connectivity patterns in a dynamic startup environment.

Responsibilities

  • Own telephony integration projects: Lead the technical execution of VoIP/SIP connectivity for enterprise customers and partners (PoCs through production).
  • Design reliable call paths: Architect integrations via SIP trunking providers, direct trunks, or enterprise telephony infrastructure—balancing latency, reliability, and security constraints.
  • Debug complex issues end-to-end: Troubleshoot signaling and media problems (e.g., routing, codecs, DTMF, call transfers, failover), using logs and network traces to find root cause fast.
  • Navigate enterprise constraints: Propose connectivity options when customers have strict firewall policies, limited exposed ports, or regulatory/security requirements.
  • Partner deeply with customer engineers: Work directly with telecom, network, and platform teams to align architectures, test plans, and operational procedures.
  • Support partner enablement: Help telephony partners integrate with Parloa, resolve escalations, and improve repeatability through patterns, tooling, and documentation.
  • Engineer pragmatic solutions: Build small utilities, scripts, or lightweight services when needed to validate assumptions, automate diagnostics, or close integration gaps.
  • Raise the bar on reliability: Define best practices for NAT traversal, resiliency, monitoring, and incident response in telephony-connected deployments.
  • Shape the product: Translate field learnings into clear feedback for core engineering—turning recurring integration pain into platform improvements.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional experience in VoIP/telephony engineering, SIP integrations, telecom consulting, or adjacent roles with direct customer impact.
  • Strong hands-on expertise with SIP-based integrations, call routing concepts, and real-world troubleshooting across networks and enterprise environments.
  • Solid understanding of signaling vs. media flows, common failure modes, and diagnostic approaches (logs, SIP traces, packet captures).
  • Practical experience working with SIP trunking providers, SBCs, enterprise PBX/contact center setups, or similar telecom infrastructure.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguous, high-responsibility situations—able to own issues end-to-end and drive them to resolution with multiple stakeholders.
  • Ability to communicate clearly with both engineers and non-telephony stakeholders, turning complex call-flow topics into actionable decisions.
  • Builder mindset: you don’t just explain problems—you design the fix, validate it, and make it repeatable.
  • Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • Strong plus: Cloud-native experience (especially Azure), Kubernetes environments, and/or building integration tooling in a scripting or backend language.
