Build the global
verification layer.
DogeSMS is a distributed team of engineers, carrier ops, growth folks, and a growing fleet of AI agents — building the SMS verification infrastructure that powers identity flows for thousands of services.
Ship narrow.
Small surface area, real users in the loop. Whether it's a backend feature, a carrier integration, or a support macro — narrow ships better than wide.
Async wins.
Time zones are a feature. Decisions live in writing. Standups are evidence of an org that doesn't trust its writing.
Trust on day one.
No managers, no approvals theater. We hire people we'd hand the keys to in week one — engineers, ops, finance, all of it.
Humans + Agents.
AI agents handle toil — pager triage, log spelunking, draft PRs. Humans hold the judgment calls. Same OKRs, different leverage.
Boring tech, sharp edges.
Postgres, Go, Erlang, TypeScript, Next.js for the durable core. AWS, Lambda, Vertex AI, Kafka, Temporal, ClickHouse, Kubernetes for the parts that need to flex. Carrier APIs that haven't changed since 2010 sit next to LLM tool-use pipelines built last week. We pick tools by failure mode, not by hype cycle.
Nine lanes. One handbook.
We're not a pure engineering shop. The verification layer needs people who talk to silicon and people who talk to telecom regulators — sometimes in the same week. Humans and AI agents share the same OKRs across all nine lanes.
Engineering
LANE 01Backend (Go), frontend (Next.js), SRE, and AI agent platform. We build the pipes and the code that orchestrates them.
Telecom R&D
LANE 02The other half of “we talk to silicon” — protocol stack work, signalling, and the boxes that actually move SMS. LTE / 5G NSA, SS7 / SIGTRAN, GSM MAP, SMSC / HLR, Diameter, SMPP gateways. Source operators, not aggregators.
Carrier & telecom operations
LANE 03First-hand commercial relationships with mobile network operators across 30+ countries. No middlemen. No markup layers. The numbers you rent come from people we know by first name.
Global payment
LANE 04Six payment rails (card networks, regional wallets, stablecoin, BTC Lightning, crypto checkout, bank transfer) across 60+ countries. Daily reconciliation, multi-currency treasury, on-chain settlement. Where each rail breaks is its own discipline.
Business partnerships
LANE 05The 2B counterpart to direct-carrier sourcing. Enterprise OTP design partners, channel resellers, ISV / platform integrations, regional reseller programs. Long sales cycles, technical buyers, real revenue — partnered with solutions eng, not split off as “BD”.
Marketing & growth
LANE 06Programmatic SEO across 60+ countries, technical long-form content, ABM for enterprise accounts. We ship marketing the way we ship code: narrow, measurable, async.
Customer & support
LANE 07Async support across 60+ countries in 17 languages. Half the work is direct customer help; the other half is training our customer-facing AI agent on region-specific phrasing and edge cases.
Developer experience & community
LANE 08API docs, SDKs, CLI tools, sample integrations — plus the public-facing technical voice that earns trust with the engineers actually building on us. DX is a product surface, not a marketing function.
Compliance & finance
LANE 09KYC/AML across 20+ jurisdictions, audit-ready books, regulatory filings, SOC 2 readiness. Quiet work. Load-bearing.
Currently hiring.
Three open roles, each tied to a specific city. The rest of our hiring sits on the radar — see the full list of 41 roles for what we expect to open next.
21 cities. No headquarters.
DogeSMS doesn't have physical offices. We're a distributed team — these are the cities where teammates live and work, with timezone overlap that keeps the global SMS layer awake 24h a day.
Future openings, on the radar.
When DogeSMS opens future roles — engineering, carrier ops, finance, anything — we look at the talent pool first. Drop a note, the cities you'd be working from, and what you build.
