Summary

Role Introduction

We’re hiring a skilled Backend Engineer (Lead) to architect, build, and scale the backbone of our

voice AI SaaS platform and internal PaaS solutions. You will create robust, secure, and scalable

server-side systems that handle real-time voice data, WebRTC interactions, and SIP integrations

for enterprise clients. With a multi-tenant, high-traffic environment, our platform needs to be

performant, fault-tolerant, and flexible enough to adapt to customer-specific on-prem deployments.

Responsibilities

  • PaaS & Infrastructure
  • Design and maintain the core Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that supports CozmoS AI’s voice

applications and microservices.

  • Oversee deployment strategies that empower internal and external teams to build on top of our

platform with minimal friction.

  • Real-Time Communication (WebRTC & SIP)
  • Integrate and optimize WebRTC and SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) services to enable

real-time audio streaming, calls, and other voice features.

  • Implement signaling, session management, and NAT traversal solutions for voice

communication, ensuring low latency and high availability.

  • Multi-Tenant Architecture
  • Develop a highly scalable multi-tenant platform with strict data isolation and resource

partitioning to support enterprise customers.

  • Work closely with DevOps to ensure efficient resource utilization, especially for GPU-heavy

voice/AI workloads.

  • Microservices & API Development- Design and implement backend microservices that power CozmoX AI’s features, focusing on

resilience, observability, and performance.

  • Create and maintain secure, high-throughput REST/GraphQL APIs or SDKs that serve both

internal teams and external clients.

  • DevOps & CI/CD
  • Own the end-to-end delivery process: automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as

code (Terraform/CloudFormation), and secret management.

  • Containerize and orchestrate services with Docker/Kubernetes, handling cloud deployments

and on-prem setups for enterprise customers.

  • Observability & Performance
  • Set up comprehensive logging, monitoring, and alerting for real-time systems to ensure smooth

call flows and rapid troubleshooting.

  • Continuously optimize server and network performance, focusing on minimizing latency for

real-time interactions.

  • Security & Compliance
  • Implement best-in-class security practices (encryption at rest/in transit, authentication,

authorization) in a multi-tenant environment.

  • Ensure compliance with relevant data protection and privacy standards required by enterprise

customers.

  • Collaboration & Leadership
  • Collaborate with front-end, AI/ML teams, and product stakeholders to align on requirements,

APIs, and architecture decisions.

  • Mentor junior engineers, guide best practices, and drive architectural discussions for future

product roadmap.

Qualifications

Professional Experience

  • 5+ years of backend development experience, with a proven track record in building

high-availability, large-scale systems.

  • Demonstrable exposure to real-time communication protocols and tools (WebRTC, SIP, RTP,

STUN/TURN, etc.).

  • Experience with multi-tenant SaaS or PaaS offerings, ensuring data isolation and robust

partitioning.

Technical Expertise

  • Proficiency in one or more backend languages (Python, Node.js, Go, Java) and frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience with microservices, containerization (Docker), and orchestration

(Kubernetes) in production.

  • Strong DevOps fundamentals: CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation),

config/secret management.

  • Familiarity with call signaling, session management, and load balancing for RTC or VoIP

systems.

  • Understanding of enterprise-level security practices, authentication mechanisms (OAuth, SSO),

and compliance requirements.

Cloud & On-Prem Deployment- Experience deploying services in public cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and

on-premises.

  • Knowledge of implementing robust logging and monitoring stacks (ELK, Prometheus, Grafana)

for production systems.

Preferred Skills

  • Voice & AI: Knowledge of voice technology stacks, SIP trunking, telephony infrastructure, and

how they integrate with AI/ML pipelines.

  • Scalability & Performance: Demonstrated ability to handle high traffic and low-latency

demands in RTC contexts.

  • Database & Storage: Working knowledge of both SQL and NoSQL databases, caching layers

(Redis, Memcached), and data partitioning strategies.

  • Leadership: Prior experience in leading or mentoring a small engineering team, driving

architectural decisions, and influencing product direction.

  • Open Source: Contributions to open-source RTC or backend frameworks; interest in staying

on top of emerging backend/telephony trends.
