About Infrastructure & Security at Invoca:
Infrastructure & Security is made up of the following groups and teams:
- Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) group
- Telecom team
- Information Security team
The SRE group is organized in two teams:
- Consulting: responsible for short-term, interrupt-driven requests and engagements with software development teams, helping develop longer term solutions to shift left and providing development teams with greater confidence and ownership of their infrastructure needs.
- Core: responsible for day-to-day service ownership and providing Invoca with a reliable and innovative foundation through expertise, ownership, and advancement of infrastructure.
Holistically, the SRE group is responsible for production uptime and observability across dimensions of cost, performance, and analytics. They support Invoca’s mission by providing realtime, highly-available infrastructure, tools and observability for call routing, audio processing, transcription, data storage, numerous APIs, and more.

The Telecom team provides a reliable SIP based platform to connect Consumer callers to our customers, incorporating dynamic routing logic and conversation insight gathering via our multi-vendor, multi-region cloud based telephony service.
The Information Security team works with the entire organization to secure system and network resources, and protect the confidentiality of customer and staff information. They identify and mitigate risk, advise best practices, ensure incident response plans are developed and increase organizational security awareness.
