About the Role
We’re looking for a Telephony & PBX Integration Specialist to own the most critical (and most variable) part of our deployments: getting our voice AI reliably connected to real-world phone systems. You’ll work alongside our onboarding team, focusing specifically on telephony—configuring, integrating, and troubleshooting across a wide range of environments, from modern VoIP platforms to older PBX and carrier-based systems. This is a hands-on, technical role for someone who enjoys solving messy, real-world telecom problems. What You’ll Do
- Own telephony setup for new client onboarding in partnership with our onboarding team
- Configure and troubleshoot call flows, including forwarding, SIP routing, DIDs, and failover logic
- Work across VoIP platforms such as Twilio, RingCentral, 8x8, and Vonage
- Integrate with legacy and carrier-based systems such as Comcast Business and Verizon Business
- Configure and adapt
PBX systems (cloud, on-premise, or hybrid), including:
- Asterisk
- FreePBX
- 3CX
- Avaya
- Cisco Unified Communications Manager
- Diagnose and resolve issues such as call routing errors, dropped calls, latency, and caller ID mismatches
- Coordinate with client IT teams, telecom vendors, or on-site technicians when needed
- Document edge cases and contribute to building more standardized, repeatable onboarding processes
What You Should Have
- Hands-on experience with
telephony systems, VoIP, and SIP
- Direct experience working with
PBX systems (on-premise or cloud)
- Strong understanding of SIP trunking, IVRs, extensions, and call routing logic
- Experience integrating or troubleshooting across multiple providers and environments
- Ability to work with
legacy or poorly documented systems and still get things working
- Clear communication skills—you’ll collaborate closely with internal teams and external stakeholders
- A practical, problem-solving mindset (you know how to get things done, not just how they “should” work)
Engagement Details:
- Part-time contract (10–20 hours/week to start)
- Remote, flexible schedule (US time zone overlap preferred)
- Opportunity to grow with the company as onboarding volume scales
