Tech @ Exotel

Exotel engineering solves some really cool infrastructure level problems with the goal of ensuring no one misses a call or an SMS.

• Our focus is on building very fault-tolerant, loosely coupled, scalable and real-time distributed systems.

• We are generally agnostic of language, technology or tools. Currently our tech stack is built on Golang, Node.js, Ruby, Java and PHP. We use Aerospike, MySQL as data stores, ElasticSearch for search and Beanstalkd for queuing.

• We emphasize a lot on clean abstractions of code, loosely coupled services and good coding practices.

• We are very strong believers in "you built it, you own it!". And running a distributed system is very different from just building one!

• We are crazy about high availability.

What do we look for?

Must-haves

• Strong computer science fundamentals.

• Strong problem solving skills.

• A mindset to explore and learn new age technologies and engineering concepts (programming and beyond programming).

• Familiarity with one Java / Go / C++ / C / Python.

• Good understanding of data structures and algorithms.

• A "devops" mindset. You own what you will develop.
