Job description

We’re looking for a Telecom/ VoIP Engineer who thrives in the deep end-someone who lives in Linux, understands VoIP/SIP at the packet level, and enjoys chasing down issues others can’t figure out.

You’ll be working on real telecom infrastructure supporting large-scale platforms used by major customers. If you get a rush from Wireshark analysis, SIP debugging, and CLI-based troubleshooting, you’ll feel right at home here.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Troubleshoot complex issues across Linux-based VoIP platforms
  • Analyze SIP signaling, RTP flows, and network behavior
  • Dive into packet captures (Wireshark/tcpdump) to find root causes
  • Apply fixes, patches, and updates in live production environments
  • Collaborate with engineering and customer teams on high-impact issues
  • Write MOPs (Methods of Procedure) for production changes
  • Gather logs and technical data to support escalations to development
  • Support maintenance windows and platform upgrades

Requirements

Do you have experience in Wireshark?, * 5+ years working in Linux environments (RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu)

  • Hands-on experience with VoIP technologies
  • Strong working knowledge of SIP
  • Proven ability to analyze packet captures (Wireshark)
  • Solid networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, routing)
  • Comfort working in the Linux command line

Bonus Points

  • Experience with Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, Kamailio, or SBCs
  • Scripting (Bash, Python, etc.)
  • Exposure to Diameter protocol
  • VMware or virtualized environments
  • Cisco networking basics

Bottom Line

If you’re the person others go to when SIP calls fail, packets don’t make sense, and Linux logs tell a story, this is where you level up.
