Vonage Communications APIs:

Vonage is a global cloud communications leader in the $100B+ CPaaS market. Customers including Airbnb, Snapchat, and thousands of enterprises depend on our APIs and SDKs to deliver SMS, voice, and messaging at scale. The Technical Routing & Quality team sits at the heart of this — owning the configuration and performance of every message and call that traverses the Vonage network.

Why This Role Matters

Every OTP SMS, enterprise marketing message, and API-triggered communication travels through routing groups owned and maintained by this team. As a Technical Routing Analyst, you will own the day-to-day quality and cost performance of global SMS and voice routing, ensuring traffic is delivered reliably, efficiently, and at the best possible margin.

What You Will Do

Monitor and respond to quality alerts (SMSCR, DLR Success Ratio, Rejected/Undelivered, Queue, Bind-down) via Zendesk and Tableau, following established investigation processes

Provide 24x5 follow-the-sun routing assurance coverage in rotation with regional peers

Perform proactive quality assurance across SMS and voice destinations — identifying degraded suppliers and initiating route changes

Manage country-level routing: evaluate supplier performance against cost and quality targets and implement tiered routing decisions

Onboard and test new supplier connections (SMPP/MM4/MM7 protocols) in coordination with Connectivity Operations

Identify and escalate carrier degradations, encoding errors, and throughput issues, coordinating resolution with CORT and suppliers

Contribute to automation initiatives that improve supplier onboarding times, cost management, and quality alerting

Participate in regional handover processes and maintain clear handover notes for the next-shift team

Support the migration of SMS services from IBM Data Centres to AWS

What You Will Bring

Solid understanding of SMS routing fundamentals — SMPP protocol, DLR codes, encoding, conversion rates, and delivery ratio metrics

Experience working with carrier or telco routing systems and monitoring tools (e.g. Tableau, Zendesk, or equivalent)

Analytical mindset with the ability to investigate degradation patterns, cross-reference data sources, and drive root-cause resolution

Comfortable working in a fast-paced, 24x5 operational environment with on-call responsibilities

Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to coordinate clearly across time zones with suppliers and internal stakeholders

Experience collaborating cross-functionally with carrier, product, and engineering teams

Nice to have

Familiarity with voice routing metrics (ASR, NER, MOS, PDD) and SIP fundamentals

Experience with ML-driven or algorithmic routing systems

Knowledge of RCS, Network APIs, or US direct carrier connectivity

Background in a CPaaS, wholesale telco, or carrier operations environment

About the Team

The Technical Routing & Quality team is focused on three objectives: reducing tech debt, automating the core business, and investing in growth areas such as Network APIs, RCS, and US direct connectivity. We operate a follow-the-sun model and work closely with Carrier Partnerships, Product, and Engineering to deliver best-in-class routing services.
