•  Lead technical discovery sessions, architecture workshops, deep-dive reviews, proof-of-concept (POC) builds, and live technical validation with Korean customers and partners to confirm solution fit and accelerate adoption.

•  Implement and guide integrations across mobile (iOS/Android), web, and backend systems, including WebRTC, SIP/PSTN interworking, real-time media streaming, LLM orchestration, ASR/TTS pipelines, and MCP/function-calling frameworks.

•  Provide expert-level technical guidance to solution engineers, developers, customers, and partners across the design, implementation, deployment, optimization, troubleshooting, and production-scaling phases of each engagement.

•  Diagnose and resolve complex latency, media-quality, and interoperability issues in production real-time systems through log analysis, network diagnostics, and codec/transport tuning.

Product Feedback & Cross-Functional Engineering Collaboration

•  Translate field and customer technical requirements, including Korea-specific deployment needs, into structured, actionable specifications for Product Management and Engineering, and influence platform roadmap and API design based on real-world deployment evidence.

•  Contribute to internal engineering enablement assets, including reference architectures, integration guides, solution playbooks, and technical documentation.

•  Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Sales, Customer Success, and local partners to align technical solutions with customer deployment, security, and scalability goals.

•  Use AI-assisted development and productivity tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex) to accelerate prototyping, integration, and troubleshooting.

•  Track developments across Conversational AI, Voice AI, WebRTC, real-time media, and cloud communications, and proactively advise customers and internal teams on their technical implications.

Regional Scope (Korea)

•  Serve as the primary technical solutions lead for enterprise customers and partners in South Korea, conducting customer-facing architecture, integration, technical workshop, and troubleshooting work in Korean and English as required.

•  Adapt Agora's reference architectures to Korea-specific requirements, including local network topology, data-residency and privacy considerations, latency optimization, enterprise security reviews, and applicable compliance standards.

Required Qualifications

•  Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

•  7–9 years of experience in Solutions Engineering, Solution Architecture, Pre-Sales Engineering, Technical Consulting, Developer Support, or Software Development.

•  Strong programming ability in at least one modern language such as JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Swift, Kotlin, or Python/Node.js.

•  Hands-on expertise in real-time communications and AI engagement systems, including WebRTC, SIP/PSTN integration, real-time streaming, LLM orchestration, ASR/TTS, and MCP/function-calling frameworks.

•  Solid understanding of SDK integrations, REST API design, and mobile, web, and backend application architecture.

•  Experience with modern development frameworks such as React Native or Flutter.

•  Ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly in Korean and English to both technical and business audiences.

•  Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to design innovative and scalable solutions.

•  Willingness to travel within South Korea and occasionally across APAC (approximately 25–40%) for customer engagements, on-site integration work, and technical workshops.

Preferred Qualifications

•  Familiarity with Korean telecom, cloud, and systems-integration partner ecosystems, as well as SIP, PSTN, and CPaaS platforms.

•  Understanding of security, compliance, and encryption standards for real-time communications and AI systems.

•  Experience with multi-region deployments, horizontal scalability, and low-latency optimization.

•  Familiarity with enterprise tooling such as Salesforce, JIRA, Zendesk, and Confluence.

•  Experience supporting Korean enterprise customers and partners in Korean and English across technical engagements.
