## Job description

## About Telnyx

Telnyx is an industry leader that's not just imagining the future of global connectivity—we're building it. From architecting and amplifying the reach of a [private, global, multi-cloud IP network](https://telnyx.com/our-network), to bringing [hyperlocal edge](https://telnyx.com/resources/about-edge-connectivity) technology right to your fingertips through intuitive APIs, we're shaping a new era of seamless interconnection between people, devices, and applications.

We're driven by a desire to transform and modernize what's antiquated, automate the manual, and solve real-world problems through innovative connectivity solutions. As a testament to our success, we're proud to stand as a financially stable and profitable company. Our robust profitability allows us not only to invest in pioneering technologies but also to foster an environment of continuous learning and growth for our team.

Our collective vision is a world where borderless connectivity fuels limitless innovation. By joining us, you can be part of laying the foundations for this interconnected future. We're currently seeking passionate individuals who are excited about the opportunity to contribute to an industry-shaping company while growing their own skills and careers.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our AI Enablement team and build the services that allow AI agents to interact with the real world.

You will develop and maintain agent primitives such as meeting participation, web search, browser automation, email, payments, and related services. These capabilities will give agents secure, reliable ways to join meetings, browse the web, communicate, make purchases, and complete tasks on behalf of users.

This role combines product engineering, platform design, and applied AI. You will work on services that must behave predictably in production, handle external systems safely, and expose clear interfaces that agents can use effectively.

## What you’ll do

- Design, build, and operate production services for AI agents.
- Develop reusable primitives for meetings, browsing, search, email, payments, and adjacent capabilities.
- Define reliable interfaces and workflows for agent tool use.
- Work closely with product and engineering teams to turn new agent use cases into practical services.
- Improve safety, observability, testing, and operational reliability across the platform.
- Help shape the architecture and direction of our agent enablement platform.

## What we’re looking for

- Strong software engineering experience, including ownership of production systems.
- Comfort working with LLMs, AI agents, tool calling, and agent orchestration.
- Good judgment around reliability, security, permissions, and external side effects.
- An ability to work through ambiguous problems and turn early ideas into maintainable products.
- Clear communication and a practical, hands-on approach to engineering.

Experience with agent frameworks and runtimes such as Hermes Agent or OpenClaw is a plus.

## About Telnyx

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Telecommunications / AI Infrastructure
- **Target customers**: B2B – developers, enterprises, and communications service providers building voice AI agents, programmable voice, messaging, and IoT solutions.
- **Mission or purpose**: To own the full stack from carrier network to AI inference so that customers can build real-time voice AI agents with no handoffs, no lag, and carrier-grade reliability.

## Products & Services
- **Voice AI Agents**: Carrier-native voice AI with bundled STT (speech-to-text), LLM inference, and TTS (text-to-speech) on a Tier-1 network. Priced at $0.05/min for the full bundle.
- **SIP Trunking**: Elastic SIP trunking for enterprise voice, outbound from $0.005/min, inbound from $0.0035/min.
- **Programmable Voice & Messaging (SMS/MMS)**: RESTful APIs for call control, conferencing, recording, and SMS/MMS from $0.004 per outbound message.
- **AI Inference**: Edge-deployed GPU inference for voice and text AI, with per-token pricing or x402 pay-per-call.
- **Wireless (Mobile IoT)**: Programmable eSIM and roaming for IoT devices.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Annual revenue estimated at $16.0M (LinkedIn); total funding raised $2.1M.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly disclosed (only 2 prior funding rounds mentioned, lead investors unknown).
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 21.5% YoY to ~300 employees; 121 active job postings (monthly job postings +27.4%, quarterly +202.5%, yearly +830.8%); operates in 34 countries; customer base includes 14,000+ industry-leading companies (Alibaba, Neon Health, etc.).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Full-stack ownership**: Telnyx owns its carrier network (CLEC licenses, STIR/SHAKEN A-level) and co-locates GPU compute at the telco edge, bypassing the public internet for low-latency voice AI.
- **Single vendor for voice AI**: Bundles SIP, STT, LLM, and TTS – no need to stitch together multiple providers.
- **Compliance by default**: Holds HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS certifications; built-in programmatic compliance (10DLC/KYC).
- **Private global network**: Operates a private IP network across 40+ countries, ensuring deterministic routing and high-quality audio.

## Strategic Focus
- **Voice AI agents**: Deep investment in real-time conversational AI infrastructure, including machine-readable evaluation endpoints and benchmark tools for developers.
- **Global expansion**: Continues to add PoPs and data center locations (Amsterdam, Dublin, Warsaw, Bangalore, etc.) to reduce latency.
- **AI-native platform**: Building autonomous orchestration for agent-to-agent workflows and inference at the edge.

## Why Work Here
- **Work flexibility**: Remote-first with in-person options in Austin, Amsterdam, Dublin, and Warsaw. Many roles are fully remote.
- **Culture & perks**: Unlimited personal time off, healthcare benefits (US, UK, Ireland), 401(k) matching (US), equity, commuter benefits, free snacks/drinks in offices.
- **Growth opportunities**: Strong promotion policies with customized development tracks; apprenticeship programs; job training and conferences.
- **Engineering culture**: Heavy investment in Elixir, Python, and AI infrastructure; open-source contributions (GitHub, npm); collaborative teams across time zones.
- **Global team**: 300+ employees across 34 countries with a diverse, inclusive hiring approach.
