About the Role:
Ooma is hiring a Software Engineer reporting to the Director of Engineering, on the Telecommunications Platform Team. In this role you will develop a geographically distributed and redundant calling platform supporting the future of communications at Ooma.
What You’ll Do:
- Design, build, and maintain a geographically distributed calling platform capable of supporting millions of minutes and thousands of simultaneous sessions — infrastructure that powers real communication at massive scale
- Work on cutting-edge AI features integrated directly into a carrier-grade platform, solving hard problems around latency, reliability, and throughput that most engineers never get to touch
- Collaborate closely with a passionate team of engineers to ship features that directly impact how Ooma's customers communicate — from small businesses to enterprise clients
- Dive deep into niche and emerging technologies, contributing to architectural decisions that shape the future of the platform
- Debug complex, distributed systems issues and drive solutions end-to-end, from root cause to production
Experience We’re Looking For:
- Recent college graduate with a degree in Computer Science or equivalent — we're excited to help you grow from the ground up
- Strong programming fundamentals with a hunger to level up fast in a real-world, high-stakes environment
- Solid understanding of IP networking concepts — and a curiosity to go deeper
- A genuine excitement for learning bleeding-edge and niche technologies that most engineers never encounter
- A self-starter mentality — you take ownership, push through blockers, and don't wait to be told what to do next
- A collaborative spirit — you enjoy sharing what you learn, lifting up teammates, and building a culture where knowledge flows freely
- An interest in AI at scale — whether that's optimizing internal tooling or building customer-facing features that handle millions of interactions
Note: This role is full remote, but the expectation is to work near Eastern standard time for the training period of 6-12 months.
