- Customize and extend Vicidial features to meet evolving business requirements.
- Optimize database queries and system performance for high-volume call center operations.
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues in the Vicidial ecosystem.
- Collaborate with AI engineers to integrate machine learning capabilities into the call center workflow.
- Document technical specifications, API endpoints, and system architecture.
- Mentor junior developers and provide technical guidance to the team.
- Plan and execute the gradual migration strategy toward a modern, multitenant architecture.
Must-Have
Required Skills & Experience :
- 3 - 5 years of hands-on experience in PHP development with production-level applications.
- Strong expertise in Vicidial installation, configuration, customization, and administration.
- Deep understanding of Vicidial's database schema, dialplan logic, and core modules.
- Proven experience in building RESTful APIs with PHP (Laravel/Symfony/native PHP).
- Strong knowledge of MySQL/MariaDB optimization and complex query writing.
- Experience with Asterisk PBX configuration and dialplan scripting.
- Understanding of telecommunication protocols (SIP, RTP, WebRTC).

What We're Building
You'll be instrumental in our transition from a monolithic Vicidial-based system to a modern, scalable, multitenant contact center platform with :
- React-based frontend for superior user experience.
- Node.js backend for microservices architecture.
- Python-based AI engine for intelligent call handling.
- AWS cloud infrastructure for scalability and reliability.
- API-first design for seamless integrations.
