The Role
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.
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.
This role has 10–30% travel to customer sites for deployments, workshops, and escalations.
Responsibilities
- 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
What We Are Looking For
- 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)
