Bandwidth is seeking a Senior Software Development Engineer (Voice Network) to join their Core Voice Engineering and Technology team in Raleigh, North Carolina. As a global communications software company and Tier 1 network operator, Bandwidth provides voice, messaging, and emergency services infrastructure for various brands and applications. This role focuses on designing and building platform APIs, backend services, and automation capabilities to manage globally distributed voice systems.
In this position, you will develop scalable services and abstraction layers for voice systems and network services, ensuring reliability and fault tolerance in geo-redundant global deployments. Your responsibilities include owning technical initiatives from problem definition through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production readiness. Collaboration with architects, network development engineers, and software engineers is essential to translate infrastructure and telecommunications requirements into software-driven platform capabilities.
Candidates should have over six years of experience in software engineering, backend engineering, or related infrastructure engineering disciplines, with at least four years of experience developing backend services, APIs, automation, or platform capabilities using languages such as Python, Go, Java, or C#. Experience in designing and operating large-scale distributed systems, including multi-region or geo-redundant deployments, high availability, fault tolerance, and horizontal scalability, is required. A strong understanding of system design and software architecture, including distributed systems patterns, API design, service decomposition, asynchronous processing, caching, resiliency patterns, and data consistency considerations, is also necessary.
Bandwidth offers 100% company-paid medical, vision, and dental coverage for employees and their families, with low deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses. All new hires receive four weeks of paid time off (PTO), with additional PTO opportunities through volunteer hours and Bandwidth challenges.

Employees also enjoy 90-minute workout lunches and unlimited meetings with an in-house nutritionist.
At Bandwidth, the company culture is rooted in the "Whole Person Promise," ensuring employees can have meaningful work and a full life. The work environment is geared toward enriching employees' body, mind, and spirit, fostering collaboration, diverse perspectives, and the freedom to bring one's authentic self to the table.
