Founding Senior Engineer (Infrastructure)

MissionThe Founding Senior Engineer (Infra) will be responsible for scaling Vapi's real-time conversational infrastructure to millions of concurrent calls, while ensuring every call gets picked up within 1s with 99.9% reliability. You'll also be a foundational part of how we build the culture at Vapi.
OutcomesOwn scalability projects end-to-end
Ship a pre-scoped project within the first 7 days (e.g., redis HA)
Ship a project independently within the first 30 days (e.g., new CRD for managing worker pools)
Build monitoring
Ship pre-defined monitoring goals within the first 14 days (e.g., prometheus rules)
Ship monitoring independently within the first 30 days (e.g., refactor call monitoring to real-time alert on latency spikes)
Build anti-fragility into the infrastructure
Unprompted, build things that make our infrastructure more antifragile (e.g., auto multi-cluster rollover).
