Job description

We’re looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join our team. You’ll embed directly with enterprise customers to architect and ship production systems on Telnyx’s global network-voice, messaging, AI, and wireless. This isn’t about demoing products; it’s about building real solutions that work at scale., * Embed with enterprise customers to understand their communications workflows, AI use cases, and integration challenges firsthand

  • Build and deploy custom implementations: AI Voice Assistants, Telnyx APIs (Voice, Messaging, Fax, Wireless), WebRTC
  • Lead POCs, pilots, and production launches from whiteboard to go-live
  • Own customer outcomes-stay engaged until the solution is live and stable
  • Collaborate directly with Product and Engineering to shape the roadmap based on field insights
  • Create clear technical documentation, runbooks, and maintainable solutions for handoff
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex integration issues alongside customer teams

Requirements

This role would suit a technical professional who thrives at the intersection of engineering and customer success. You’re equally comfortable debugging SIP traces as you are leading a whiteboard session with a customer’s engineering team. The ability to own outcomes from POC to production go-live is essential., * CS degree or equivalent experience

  • 3+ years building software or doing technical consulting
  • Proficiency in multiple languages: Python, Node.js, Go-you’re more dangerous in some than others
  • Strong API fluency, event-driven thinking, and cloud-native instincts
  • Exposure to SIP, WebRTC, or real-time voice/messaging systems
  • Ability to translate “it’s not working” into root cause
  • Comfortable working on customer sites and in high-stakes technical conversations

Bonus Points For

  • Experience with AI voice assistants, STT, or LLM-based conversational systems
  • SQL proficiency (Postgres, MySQL, Oracle)
  • ETL and data wrangling experience
  • DevOps fundamentals (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD)
  • Background in telecom, CPaaS, or high-growth SaaS
  • Security mindset (IAM, encryption, audit logging)
