Required:

• 3+ in Windows desktop application development using Windows App SDK, WinUI (or similar), C#, XAML — and ideally additional experience with native Windows code (C++, Win32/WinRT/COM).
• Deep understanding of Windows application architecture, including interop between managed code (.NET) and native code.
• Proven track record of designing, building, and shipping production-quality desktop applications, with an emphasis on reliability, performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Strong experience with accessibility APIs on Windows (e.g. Microsoft UI Automation or similar), and a dedication to building accessible and inclusive software.
• Excellent software engineering fundamentals: OOP, design patterns, data structures, algorithms, memory management, multi-threading or asynchronous programming (where relevant).
• Experience leading technical design, mentoring other engineers, conducting code reviews, and making architecture-level decisions.
• Strong communication skills; ability to articulate tradeoffs, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive consensus.
• A user-centric mindset: focus on building polished, intuitive, and accessible experiences for end users.

Preferred / Bonus:

• Experience with writing automated tests for UI — unit tests, integration tests, UI automation tests; familiarity with relevant testing frameworks.
• Experience with performance optimization for desktop apps (memory usage, startup time, rendering performance, high-DPI support, responsiveness under load).
• Experience with localization/globalization, right-to-left UI support, internationalization, accessibility for multiple regions.
• Familiarity with telemetry, analytics, crash reporting, logging, and error monitoring in desktop applications.
• Previous experience in shaping CI/CD workflows, release pipelines, and deployment strategies for desktop applications.
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of feature areas or modules and drive them long-term, including maintenance, refactoring, and technical debt management.

What we offer

• A high-impact role: you will define architecture, shape the future of our Windows product, and directly influence what millions of users see and experience.
• A collaborative, flat-structure engineering culture — you are not just a coder, but a builder and a decision-maker.
• Opportunities to lead — mentor others, steer technical direction, and grow into broader technical leadership (e.g. Tech Lead, Architect).
• Flexibility, autonomy, and responsibility: you define how to solve problems, own features end-to-end, and contribute to long-term product vision.
• A purpose-driven mission: building software that’s reliable, accessible, and user-centered — making a real difference for people.

Why this role matters
AI makes code generation easier, but proving that code works in production is still hard. This role focuses on closing that gap by building runtime technology that enables safe, real-time validation inside live applications, so engineers and AI agents can verify fixes, changes, and assumptions where they actually matter.

Responsibilities

• Build low-overhead runtime instrumentation and data capture in customer processes across Java, C++ and related environments
• Ensure compatibility across runtime versions, frameworks, and deployment environments such as containers, Kubernetes, Windows, and Linux
• Build backend services to securely define, distribute, and manage agent actions at scale
• Own agent-backend APIs and protocols, including versioning, compatibility, and release strategy across a large installed fleet
• Drive profiling and benchmarking to minimize runtime overhead and enforce 
• performance budgets

Requirements

Must have

• Strong C++ skills with production experience, especially in performance and memory safety
• Production experience with Java and/or .NET, particularly in core libraries, frameworks, or runtime-adjacent components
• Experience building high-performance systems under latency, CPU, and memory constraints
• Strong backend engineering experience designing and operating production services and APIs

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with profilers and runtime instrumentation technologies, such as:
• Java: JVMTI, bytecode instrumentation, ASM, Byte Buddy, JIT/GC awareness, safe attachment patterns
• .NET: CLR Profiling APIs, ICorProfiler, IL rewriting, managed/unmanaged interop

Vonage Applications: 

Our Applications business unit focuses on delivering a suite of advanced communication tools designed to enhance customer engagement. From cloud contact centers to feature-rich unified communications solutions, our Applications team is dedicated to providing businesses with the tools they need to streamline operations and improve customer experiences.

Why this role matters:

We are an established team driving the innovation of our company’s core audio-call infrastructure. Our current mission is the new development of high-performance services that power real-time audio streaming for external processing, recording services, and external API integrations.

Your key responsibilities:

In this role, you will focus on building new, scalable features from the ground up. While we value full-stack capability, your primary impact will be in Backend and Cloud Engineering using .NET and AWS (ECS/EKS).

You will take ownership of the end-to-end development of new audio-processing logic and the APIs that expose these capabilities to the rest of the organization.

This is a hybrid role, offering the flexibility to work most of the time remotely. However, certain tasks will require in-person collaboration with team members. You should be prepared to attend on-site meetings (Tel-Aviv) occasionally to support key project milestones and ensure successful outcomes.

What you'll bring

• Backend Expertise: 3+ years of professional experience in software development, with a deep focus on C# and the .NET ecosystem.
• Frontend expertise: Working experience with JavaScript
• Containerization & Cloud: Hands-on experience building and scaling services within AWS, specifically using ECS or EKS.
• Systems Engineering Mindset: A proactive attitude toward building new products from scratch, with a focus on high-quality code and scalable design patterns.
• Communication: Strong English skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in a distributed, multicultural environment.

Experience we consider a plus:

• DevOps & Scripting: Experience with CI/CD automation and scripting (e.g., Python, Bash) to streamline development and deployment.
• Performance Analysis: Familiarity with tools and techniques for profiling and optimizing .NET applications in high-load environments.
• Node.js Knowledge: Ability to contribute to or integrate with Node.js-based services.

How you’ll benefit:

• Discretionary Time Off
• Private Medical Healthcare
• Pension scheme
• Ericsson support line
• Hybrid work
• Additional benefits and perks will be shared and discussed with you by the recruiter during the interview process
