•
Improve observability, reliability, and self-service troubleshooting across the platform.
•
Ensure performance, scalability, and resilience of real-time voice pipelines running in the cloud.
•
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (ML, product, solution architects) to design end-to-end solutions for customer deployments.
•
Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and best practices to other engineers on the team.
Qualifications We Value:
