Description
We are a team of distributed software developers focusing on exciting challenges of voice, video and text: real-time communications. We are Mojo Lingo: Voice Applications that Work Like Magic.At Mojo Lingo, the focus of everything we do is communications. Communications underlie everything humans do: every new idea that spread, every magnificent cathedral built, every successful revolution happened because the team behind it communicated effectively. Our mission is to bring seamless, contextual, powerful communications to the world.
We seek an experienced Voice & Messaging Engineer to join our team creating these applications. As a remote position, you will be largely autonomous, and depend on conferencing, instant messaging and screen sharing for collaboration. Your strong problem-solving skills and love for a challenge will be brought to bear delivering ambitious features and vanquishing complex bugs. Each person on our team is empowered to make decisions and enjoys great latitude in choosing the right tools and method for the job, and so will you.
You should have experience developing, deploying, supporting, troubleshooting services that support voice & messaging. Ideally, this will include Voice over IP (such as SIP) and/or Instant Messaging (such as XMPP). You should be familiar with popular open source options, and even better if you know about commercial ones too. You also should not be afraid of pulling out tools like Wireshark and wrangling gigabytes of logfiles.
From the beginning we have been a distributed team, with headquarters in Atlanta, but our team members are located around North America, South America, and Europe. We build tools that enable people to communicate fluidly across a wide range of devices, technologies and physical spaces. We are known as application developers and often use technology like speech recognition, text-to-speech, Voice over IP (telephony and non-telephony), instant messaging/text chat and everything to do with the Web.
If you enjoy delighting people by making computers do unexpected things, all while solving complex, technical challenges in a unique industry, come join us!
