We're a small, creative, and experimental team looking for talent to grow our telephonic ventures. We have a base in Pacific Time, but remote candidates are welcomed, and even preferred! You can apply by emailing danielle@dialup.com.

Backend Developer (Contract)

You will join as one of our early backend engineers on a growing team, writing back-end services and building out a call server for real-time communication with our mobile app.

Every week, Dialup connects tens of thousands of people around the world in one-on-one voice conversations using a backend infrastructure written in Go and frontend written in React Native. As the app continues to grow we’re looking for someone to maintain the backend app and build out new features to support new versions of our mobile app.

We’re looking for someone who can:

  • Write web services using Go and Postgres

  • Use Go, Prometheus and Grafana to develop performant, instrumented, and testable applications.

  • Build robust network protocols for communication with a mobile app


It’s a plus if:

  • You have previous experience with WebRTC or telecom

  • You have a deep understanding of Postgres

  • You’re fluent in software testing techniques like TDD, mocking, and fuzzing.

  • You’ve written or contributed to a mobile app

  • You have implemented distributed systems robust to unstable networks, network partitions, and other failures.

This is a contract position with negotiable hours.
