Company Name: Brainwave Properties
Job Title: Senior/Principal Software Engineer – Real-Time Systems
Job Description: **Job Title** Senior/Principal Software Engineer – Real-Time Systems **Role Summary** Lead the design, implementation, and production readiness of a low‑latency, stateless, event‑driven backend that orchestrates conversational flows for telephony, speech, and machine‑learning services. The role focuses on building a scalable, fault‑tolerant system that integrates telephony, speech‑to‑text (STT), large‑language‑model (LLM) inference, and text‑to‑speech (TTS) APIs, while delivering robust fallback and escalation pathways. **Expectations** - Senior or principal engineer capable of independent ownership of core subsystems. - Remote work from anywhere; strong cultural and technical fit with a startup environment. - Fixed‑price project with clearly defined milestones; initial focus on delivering an MVP. - Potential for extended engagement and long‑term technical stewardship based on performance. **Key Responsibilities** - Build a stateless, event‑driven backend that satisfies real‑time throughput and low‑latency requirements. - Design and implement conversation orchestration logic and state machines. - Integrate external telephony, STT, LLM, and TTS services into the platform. - Develop robust fallback and escalation mechanisms for system failures and service downtimes. - Instrument the system with key metrics, logs, and health checks; provide clear documentation. - Deliver a clean, well‑documented MVP within agreed milestones. **Required Skills** - Expert knowledge of concurrent/asynchronous programming and event‑driven architectures. - Proven experience with distributed state management and fault‑tolerant design. - Strong background in building real‑time or near‑real‑time systems. - Design skills for systems that fail gracefully under load or partial failure. - Experience integrating telephony, STT, LLM, and TTS components is highly desirable. - Ability to produce production‑ready code, comprehensive documentation, and clear metrics. - Excludes UI development; focus is on backend and orchestration logic. **Required Education & Certifications** - Bachelor’s or higher degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field. - No specific certifications required; practical experience and a portfolio demonstrating real‑time system construction are essential.
