Job Summary
The Challenge
We connect over 500000 callers in 190 countries: that represents 36000 calling corridors and over 50 million calling minutes. We work with various global suppliers optimising for call quality. Its complex. Each calling corridor has its own quality quirks and legal and regulatory rules to work within. We want someone to own call quality and routing holistically across all of it: routing daily to optimize whats happening right now while watching the data for the long-term trends that tell us where to fix things next.
A failed call is not a metric to us. Its someone not hearing their mothers voice or its an important business call that fails. We also have real ambitions to scale calling well beyond where we are today so this complexity isnt going anywhere. Its only going to grow.
Talk360 has been profitable since 2025 expanding beyond our core calling app into embedded B2B2C calling for partners. We are lean around 30 people globally spread across the Netherlands South Africa Nigeria Suriname Turkey Egypt Kenya Ukraine and beyond. That means this role has real scope from day one: no layers between you and the decisions that matter and no shortage of things worth tackling.
What Youll Do
Own call quality holistically: hold the full picture of call quality end to end working with the team on both the daily grind and the long-term view moving fluidly between quick fixes and structured experiments.
Manage zones codes and origins: own and continuously refine our zone dialing code and call origin management keeping the underlying structure clean and accurate across all 900 zones.
Update routing continuously: change routing several times a day from immediate fixes to longer-running tests of new suppliers.
Work cross-functionally by design: partner daily with Ozcan who owns supplier account management and deal creation and Mahmoud who runs hourly monitoring and support-team escalations to suppliers. Work with Ewan on automating the processes behind routing and with Product and CRM to improve the experience for our end users.
Move routing toward automation: work toward (semi) automated routing and pricing reducing how much of this still runs on manual single-person work.
What Youll Bring
Hands-on experience with international A-Z calling and telco routing: zones codes LCR and SIP response codes built at a telco carrier or comms platform with real cross-border calling experience.
NOC or technical support background: comfortable troubleshooting live voice traffic and reading call detail records and quality metrics like ASR and ACD.
Exposure to a routing/testing platform such as iTest or an equivalent tool. Familiarity with Digitalk Cloud Carrier (DCC) our current routing platform is a plus.
Nice to have: working technical literacy in SIP signalling and SBC concepts
Who You Are
Process driven and meticulous: you build the audit trail as you go not after something goes wrong. You are methodical and analytical by nature and you would rather have a clean repeatable process than a clever one-off fix.
Hands-on: you do the routing work yourself day to day not just direct others to do it.
A strong communicator: equally at ease explaining a routing issue to Product or Marketing as debating a fix with a suppliers NOC team.
Ownership without a script: you see a bottleneck and you fix it rather than wait to be asked.
Genuinely commercial: you understand a dropped call or a bad route costs Talk360 real money and a real users trust not just an SLA breach.

About Talk360
Talk360 was founded with a clear purpose: to become the most accessible and reliable calling app for African diaspora communities both within Africa and abroad. For our users calls are not transactional they are emotional lifelines to family friends and essential support networks. When service quality drops they feel it immediately. That responsibility drives everything we build.
Over the past years Talk360 has grown into a global communications platform connecting more than 6 million people worldwide last year. We successfully spun off our payments arm into NjiaPay stepped into the gap left by the discontinuation of Skype and achieved profitable growth from 2025 onwards marking our transition from early-stage scale-up to a disciplined sustainable business.
As we continue to grow we are expanding beyond our own B2C app. We are now launching our first embedded calling products within partner platforms bringing Talk360s technology into new ecosystems and enabling partners to offer international calling directly within their own products.
Our ambition is bold: to become the worlds most trusted way to call any real phone number connecting migrants travellers professionals and businesses across the globe.
