Engineering Team @ Exotel

The “Product Engineering” Team builds applications and products enabling customers to use our core services such as Voice and messaging, grammatically. The team builds endpoints with Identity, Authentication, and Management layers for other developers/programs to consume our core services. Examples include integration into other CRM services such as Zoho, Freshdesk, etc OR into customers' own workflows. It also focuses on building the work-flows as UI elements that can be used by customers.

Software engineering within the Product Engineering team involves all aspects of software engineering: designing and architecting services and features, development, testing, instrumentation, deployment, stabilization, and operations. You will be working on the core cloud telephony platform and products. A lot of focus in what you do will be outside of just adding features - you will be constantly thinking of "how do I scale out my cluster to twice its size with 60 seconds?", "how do I increase the platform uptime from 99.95 to 99.99?", "how to shave off a few extra milliseconds in response times?" etc.

We are looking for technically very strong candidates, with a strong understanding of computer systems. We want people who love designing and building infrastructure components and large complex services.
