There isn't a blank stare, there's an excitement to share. * Real-time systems experience: You've built systems that handle high-throughput, low-latency workloads, streaming, real-time processing, or similar. * Startup mentality: You've worked at fast-growing companies where you wear multiple hats and solve problems as they come up. * You're opinionated, but you're not alienating: You accept that opinions drive progress, but you don't intend to break into alienating discussions at the risk of not finding compromises for our customers. * You're familiar with some tools/components like: Cloudflare, HAProxy, Go, TypeScript, Datadog, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Nvidia Hardware (nvlink for example), and anything in between. Bonus Points If You Have * Experience with telephony systems (SIP, VOIP, WebRTC.) * Background in ML infrastructure, model serving, or GPU computing. * Experience with real-time audio/video processing. ## Description As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Bland, you'll help us to build the backbone that enables millions of AI-powered phone conversations. You're not just keeping servers running, you're architecting distributed systems that handle real-time voice processing, scale ML inference, and integrate with enterprise telephony infrastructure. Your work directly determines whether our platform can handle business-defining call volumes for our customers, or leaves them with dead air., * Contribute to the designing of scalable architecture: Build distributed systems using Kubernetes that handle high-volume, real-time voice processing with strict latency and reliability requirements. * Build and Support ML infrastructure: Create and optimize the infrastructure supporting our AI models, from training pipelines to real-time inference serving across multiple regions. * Integrate with telephony: Maintain robust connections between our platform and complex enterprise phone systems, SIP trunks, and VoIP infrastructure. * Recognize Flaws, Control for them: We're building a new type of architecture that takes something from Column A, and Column B. We're never going to get it perfect, so you'll be helping us keep a look out for what we need to solve. * Ensure reliability: Implement monitoring, alerting, and incident response systems that keep our platform running 24/7 with enterprise-grade uptime. * Scale with growth: Anticipate and solve scaling challenges before they become problems-our call volume grows exponentially and infrastructure needs to stay ahead. * Security and compliance: Implement security best practices and compliance requirements for enterprise customers in regulated industries. Interesting Problems to Own * Old-Meets-New: Telephone calls have been around for awhile. Now with an explosion in modern technologies - comes interesting new ways to wrangle old-school protocols and techniques. You'll have the space to be creative and really own a new emergent type of architecture. * Sizable Call Volumes requires new approaches: Understand and deeply invest in ensuring that we match any amount of customer's customers call volume! We need unique solutions, that you'll help us discover along the way. * Streaming Architectures: On top of building to support our APIs, you'll also be building to helping maintain the reliability, failover, and scaling of our important stream-based traffic. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Getting under the skin: The Social Engineering techniques](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/38-getting-under-the-skin-the-social-engineering-techniques) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Retooling and refactoring - an investment in people.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/371-retooling-and-refactoring-an-investment-in-people) - [Performant Architecture for a Fast Gen AI User Experience](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1158-performant-architecture-for-a-fast-gen-ai-user-experience) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [Dev Digest 138 - Are you secure about this?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/486-dev-digest-138-are-you-secure-about-this) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
