About the role

You'll own the routing core at the heart of BroadNet's A2P and P2P platforms — the system that picks a route, signs the message, hands it to an MNO bind, and watches the DLR all the way home. We process more than 300 million messages a day across 1,000+ direct operator connections; the system has to be right, and it has to be fast.

What you'll work on

  • Routing logic. Multi-LCR cost matrices, anti-fraud guardrails, sender-ID policy enforcement, regulatory filters by country.
  • SMPP bind orchestration. Pool management, bind health, failover, throughput shaping per partner.
  • DLR pipelines. Reconciliation, replay, partner-side anomaly detection.
  • Observability. Real metrics, real traces, real on-call. Latency budgets we actually defend.

The team

A four-person backend pod that owns the routing layer end-to-end. You'll pair with two senior engineers, our principal architect, and the SRE lead. The team has shipped four production rewrites in the last decade and not a single major outage.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years building production Go services under real load.
  • Deep comfort with PostgreSQL — query plans, indexing, replication, the works.
  • Experience with at least one of: SMPP, Diameter, SS7, SIP. (You don't need all four — but you've shipped something on the wire.)
  • A track record of carrying the pager for systems you've built.
  • Strong written English. Most decisions are made in long-form async docs.

Nice to have

  • Telecom background (operator side, SMSC vendor, signaling firewall vendor).
  • Kafka or NATS in production.
  • Open-source contributions we can read.
  • Arabic, French, or both — useful for partner calls across the region.
