- Solve challenging technical problems and put your skills to the test every day
- Develop and maintain microservices and APIs
- Engage with the Product team and other engineering teams across clusters and Business Units to help to ensure the solutions the team is building are fulfilling all the requirements
- Influence a growing team while acting as a technical guide—speaking conceptually, documenting architecturally, and being hands-on with code
- Design scalable solutions using code to support business functions and product goals, navigating platform limitations effectively
- Design and implement integrations between Talkdesk and external systems using APIs, middleware, and custom development, ensuring data integrity and security

- Experience scaling global web applications
- Advocate for automated testing, continuous integration
