Job description
Join Vonage and help us innovate cloud communications for businesses worldwide!
Vonage Communications APIs:
As an emerging leader in the $10B+ communications API market, we empower global brands to connect better with their customers, employees, and partners through transformative communications experiences. For example, Vonage API solutions empower organizations to build their custom omnichannel communications structure. This allows them to reach and engage customers on their preferred schedule and channel — including voice, video, and messaging. Think of a rideshare service instantly connecting with customers, hospital staff conducting remote monitoring, customers verifying their identity before completing a purchase, AI virtual agents servicing customers around the clock, and much more.
Why this role matters:
You’ll play a key role in building and scaling the core real-time communications platform that enables seamless voice and media experiences, directly impacting reliability, call quality, and security across globally distributed systems used in real-world, time-critical scenarios.

Develop and support WebRTC, media server, and observability components
Improve system security, authentication, and dependency health

Debug call quality and performance issues across the RTC stack
Collaborate with Voice, Video, Infra, Network, Product, and Support teams
Contribute to architecture design, documentation, and service ownership
What you’ll bring
Required:
Experience with backend development (Node.js/TypeScript, Java or Go)
Strong understanding of distributed systems and Rest APIs
Experience with AWS, Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines
Familiarity with Couchbase and Redis
Ability to troubleshoot production issues and perform root cause analysis
Strong ownership mindset and cross-team communication skills
Experience we consider a plus:
Hands-on work with media servers (FreeSWITCH, Asterisk) or VoIP systems
Knowledge of WebRTC, SIP, or real-time media protocols
Experience with Terraform, and multi-region infrastructure deployments
Experience with voice/video quality metrics, ASR/TTS, or media processing
How you’ll benefit:
- Medical Insurance
- Glasses Reimbursement
- Life Insurance – Allianz Family
- Kafeteria – My Benefit

- Discretionary Time Off (DTO)
- Volunteer Time Off (VTO)
