Tech stack

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) Amazon Web Services VoIP Cloud Engineering Cursor (Graphical User Interface Elements) Distributed Systems Python (Programming Language) GitHub Copilot Backend Event Driven Architecture

Requirements

Do you have experience in VoIP?, * 5+ years of solid backend development experience

  • Strong Python skills - you understand the language deeply enough to direct it, review it, and own it
  • Fluent with AI-assisted development tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar - you use them to move fast and stay sharp, not as a crutch
  • Real ownership in production systems (you’ve been paged, you’ve fixed it, you’ve learned from it)
  • Hands-on experience with AWS and cloud-native patterns
  • A product mindset - you care about outcomes, not just implementations

Bonus points

  • Experience with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, or high-volume APIs
  • Familiarity with telecom or VoIP concepts (cool to have, not a dealbreaker)

About the company

At TelSmart we’re flipping sales and customer service on its head - modern voice tech, AI-powered communication tools, and zero tolerance for clunky experiences. We’re a tight team shipping real product for real businesses, and we’re looking for a sharp Python backend developer to come build with us.

If you love clean code, scalable systems, and the feeling of pushing something to production that customers rely on - keep reading.

What you’ll be building ️

  • Designing and evolving the services that power voice, provisioning, integrations, and AI-driven customer communication
  • Writing Python that’s a pleasure to read and a beast in production
  • Working closely with product and frontend to turn good ideas into well-shipped features
  • Contributing to architecture decisions - scalability, reliability, clear trade-offs
  • Raising the quality bar: testing, observability, performance thinking
