The Role

Telnyx infrastructure team is building a next-generation platform that spans across multiple cloud providers and multiple continents.

With our lean team, we’re currently running infrastructure in 10 PoPs and 3 continents.

  • Design, develop, and deploy scalable solutions for managing databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, Cassandra, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, and others, both in virtualized environments and Kubernetes clusters.
  • Collaborate with engineering to identify and resolve pain points in managing large-scale, high-availability database infrastructure.
  • Lead the migration of existing database services from VMs to Kubernetes, ensuring minimal downtime and seamless transitions.

  • Familiarity with streaming and messaging platforms like Kafka or RabbitMQ, including scaling and monitoring in a distributed setup.
  • Proficiency in observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, or others to ensure system performance and reliability.
Bonus Points For:
