Sonetel provides a global Software-As-A-Service for business communication. We focus on quality, automation, and simplicity for small businesses worldwide.
Job Summary:
We are seeking an elite, hands-on technical leader to champion the future of software development at Sonetel. In this role, you will act as an "AI Orchestrator," leveraging cutting-edge AI development tools to accelerate the entire software lifecycle. You are not just a coder; you are a system architect, a mentor, and a master of developer velocity. You will have end-to-end ownership of projects, from conceptualization with business stakeholders to deployment and monitoring in a large-scale production environment.
What You Will Do:
- Lead the design, development, and deployment of complex, scalable software systems using an AI-augmented workflow.
- Own the full delivery pipeline: from requirement analysis and architectural design to coding, QA automation, CI/CD, and production observability.
- Act as a force multiplier by establishing best practices for AI-driven development and mentoring a cross-functional team of engineers.
- Write clean, efficient, and maintainable cross-stack code (Python, Java, C++, etc.), setting the standard for code hygiene and design patterns.
- Interface with senior leadership to translate complex technical challenges and project progress into clear, objective insights.
- Develop "living documentation" that ensures systems are maintainable and easily handed over.
- Proactively experiment with and integrate new tools and techniques to continuously improve our development processes.
Requirements
- A Proven Leader: 8 to 14 years in software development, with significant experience as a Senior, Lead, or Principal Engineer in a high-growth environment. You have a track record of leading through technical excellence and influence (startup or product-centric company experience is a major plus).
- An AI-Powered Developer: Demonstrable, hands-on expertise using modern AI development tools and assistants to write, debug, and test code. You think in terms of optimal prompting and leveraging AI to solve complex problems.
- A True System Owner: You have a proven history of taking products from idea to production. You can visualize complex systems, design robust, scalable solutions, and are deeply familiar with the full operational lifecycle: observability, monitoring, alerting, and security.
- 100% Hands-On & Cross-Stack: You are not afraid to get your hands dirty and can comfortably switch between technologies.
- A Pragmatic Product Thinker: You are obsessed with the end-user experience and have a strong intuition for what brings value to the customer. You use this business understanding as a guiding star for your technical decisions.
- A Bias for Action: You excel at breaking down complex problems and delivering results iteratively. You experiment, learn quickly, and don't get stuck, maintaining high throughput without sacrificing quality.
- An Excellent Communicator: You can articulate a technical vision to engineers and a business impact to senior leadership. You understand that great communication requires empathy, clear context, and structured thinking to achieve the best results.
Nice if you have:
- Experience with voice and video technologies: WebRTC, SIP, XMPP.
- Knowledge and hands-on experience on cloud platforms like AWS or Azure.
- Multi-modal AI Applications: Experience with systems that process and integrate different data types (e.g., voice, text, video).
- LLM Application Frameworks: Experience with frameworks like LangChain or LlamaIndex
