We’re replacing them with a fully integrated, cloud-native communications platform built on FreeSWITCH, Kamailio, Kubernetes, and AI. We’re looking for a Staff or Senior DevOps Engineer who enjoys building highly available infrastructure at scale.

You think like an owner, automate repetitive work, and enjoy solving difficult infrastructure problems. You’re equally comfortable discussing Kubernetes architecture, Linux performance tuning, distributed systems, and SIP call flows. You thrive in fast-moving startups where you’ll have significant ownership and influence over technical direction. Why Peerlogic? You’ll join a small, highly technical engineering team building one of the most advanced AI communications platforms in healthcare. You’ll help shape the future architecture of the platform while working with modern cloud infrastructure, telecommunications technologies, and AI. This is an opportunity to build something from the ground up—not inherit someone else’s legacy infrastructure. How to Apply Please include: A résumé or LinkedIn profile A brief description of the largest production infrastructure you’ve built or managed Your experience with Kubernetes, Linux, and infrastructure automation Any experience with FreeSWITCH, Kamailio, OpenSIPS, SIP, or telecommunications platforms Your preferred annual compensation (USD) Bonus Tell us about the most challenging production outage you’ve diagnosed and resolved. What happened, how did you identify the root cause, and what changes did you implement to prevent it from happening again?
