Senior Technical Support Engineer (SIP / VoIP / FoIP)

This is absolutely not an IT help-desk role.

We call our support team 'engineers' because of the highly technical nature of troubleshooting SIP and T.38 at industrial scale.

You will:

• Provide Escalated (Tier 3) support for FoIP and SIP-related technical issues via email, phone and case management system (Zendesk).
• Diagnose and troubleshoot SIP signaling, call setup failures, one-way audio, jitter, latency, and packet loss.
• Analyze SIP traces, PCAP captures, and logs using tools like Wireshark and tcpdump.
• Support T.38 Fax Over IP (FoIP) implementations, troubleshooting failed fax transmissions and improving reliability.
• Work with PBX systems (Asterisk, FreePBX, 3CX, etc.), VoIP gateways, and SBCs.
• Assist customers with network configurations, NAT traversal and firewall rules.
• Escalate complex issues to engineering teams and collaborate with vendors as needed.
• Take ownership of reported customer issues and see problems through to resolution, e nsuring proper recording and closure of all issues.
• Write documentation, knowledge base articles and FAQs, and document troubleshooting steps, best practices and solutions in the company's knowledge base for use by both internal staff and customers.
• Test interoperability of new VoIP/FoIP equipment and create user guides for various IP-PBX and SIP-compatible devices for use with our SIP Trunking service.

Expert-level support is a core component of our brand and is deeply ingrained in our culture.

We look for a mix of the technical expertise, troubleshooting skills, and industry knowledge that will be needed to solve complex problems, including:

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related field, or combination of education and experience may be considered.
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, NAT, VPNs and firewall rules) and networking protocols, in particular VoIP/SIP.
• Experience with fax and/or FoIP a plus.
• Experience with Wireshark.
• Experience with Asterisk, Kamailio, FreeSWITCH, OpenSIPS, or cloud-based VoIP APIs (Twilio, Plivo, Telnyx, etc.).
• Working knowledge of Linux/Unix Operating System.
• Careful, methodical approach to troubleshooting complex technical issues.
• Experience with help desk ticketing systems (Zendesk, Jira, ServiceNow, etc.).
• Excellent written and verbal communications including the ability to explain complex technical concepts to customers.
• Excellent customer-facing skills.

• Customer satisfaction is your goal, and you pursue it relentlessly
• You have an unquenchable desire to learn
• You communicate clearly and concisely with technical and non-technical audiences
• You are a multitasker with the ability to properly prioritize
• You happily follow established procedures, but know when to propose improvements
