Job Description
Required Experience 9 - 15 years
Product Knowledge (Installation, Configuration, Operations, Maintenance)
- - Asterisk (deep): Strong operational and development-level understanding of Asterisk internals, especially large and complex dialplans with business logic.
- - Dialplan engineering: Ability to design, refactor, and troubleshoot multi-branch call flows, failover paths, and edge-case routing behavior.
- - Call encryption: Practical handling of TLS and SRTP in production, including certificate lifecycle and interop troubleshooting.
- - SBC stack: Solid Kamailio skills for SIP routing/policy and RTPengine operation for media anchoring, NAT traversal, and media security.
SIP Capture and Troubleshooting
- - PCAP and Wireshark: Confident packet-level troubleshooting for SIP, RTP, SRTP, TLS handshake issues, retransmissions, and one-way audio.
- - Homer SIP capture: Efficient use of capture/visualization to correlate signaling and media events across distributed components.
- - End-to-end call tracing: Ability to correlate identifiers (Call-ID, tags, branch params, dialogs) across Asterisk, Kamailio, and SBC layers.
- (- Test strategy depth: SIP integration tests, regression suites for dialplan logic, and synthetic call monitoring in production-like environments.)
Operating System and Automation
- - SUSE Linux (LPIC-1 level or higher): Comfortable with package/service management, networking, process control, and system diagnostics.
- - Python (basic): Scripting for automation, validation, and lightweight operational tooling.
- - Cron and shell scripting: Building and maintaining jobs for log rotation, housekeeping, health checks, and routine maintenance tasks.
- - Log and filesystem hygiene: Managing retention, rotation policies, and storage pressure under high call volume.
Network and VoIP Foundations
- - TCP/UDP deep understanding: Behavior under packet loss, reordering, retransmissions, and impact on signaling/media quality.
- - VoIP protocols (deep): SIP, RTP, SRTP, TLS, mTLS, codec negotiation, DTMF transport, NAT and firewall implications.
- - SIP protocol internals (RFC-level): Transaction/dialog state machines, timers, forking, early media, PRACK/100rel, session timers.
- - Network services (deep): DNS behavior (including latency/caching/failover effects), NTP sync relevance for logs/traces, and routing basics.
- - High availability and disaster recovery: Active-active/active-passive design, failover testing, backup/restore drills, RTO/RPO ownership.
AWS and Infrastructure as Code
- - Core AWS: EC2, VPC, Route 53, Security Groups, CloudWatch, and basic Lambda usage.
- - Resilience testing: AWS FIS basics for controlled fault injection and validation of failover behavior.
- - Secrets and access management: IAM least privilege, secret rotation, certificate/key lifecycle, and auditability.
- - Terraform: Versioned, repeatable infrastructure provisioning and safe change workflows (plan/review/apply discipline).
DevOps and Reliability (Mandatory for Dev + DevOps Collaboration)
- - CI/CD pipelines: Build, test, security checks, and controlled release promotion.
- - Observability operations: Metrics, logs, traces, and alert tuning to reduce noise and improve incident response.
- - Incident response: Structured triage, rollback decision-making, and post-incident analysis.
- - Release and change governance: Blue-green/canary strategy, maintenance window practices, and backward-compatible migration planning.
