Telecom SMS Firewall

The system is an Erlang-based carrier-grade SMS Firewall with advanced SMS monitoring, filtering, and blocking capabilities.

Reliability is critical because the platform handles high-volume live messaging traffic for mobile network operators.

Operational Responsibilities

  • >Operate and support production SMS Firewall environments handling live telecom traffic.
  • >Contribute to the migration of distributed Erlang-based SMS Firewall nodes into Kubernetes pods.
  • >Build and maintain Docker and Podman images for telecom application environments.
  • >Deploy, configure, upgrade, and validate SMS Firewall environments on RHEL servers.
  • >Implement change requests and bug fixes in Erlang-based SMS Firewall components.
  • >Handle L2 support, incident response, failure recovery, and post-issue validation.
  • >Develop Bash automation scripts for deployment, installation, and operational workflows.

Operational Scope

  • >Carrier-grade SMS Firewall traffic paths
  • >Distributed Erlang nodes and BEAM runtime behavior
  • >RHEL servers, Kubernetes pods, Docker/Podman images, and Linux services
  • >M3UA connectivity, MariaDB dependencies, networking, and firewall node health
  • >Nagios monitoring, alert response, log analysis, and incident isolation
  • >Deployment validation across test, staging, and customer production environments

Incident and Troubleshooting Scope

  • >M3UA connectivity issues
  • >Distributed Erlang node failures
  • >SMS filtering and delivery behavior regressions
  • >Linux service, storage, networking, and database issues
  • >Deployment safety and post-deployment validation
  • >Root cause analysis for customer-reported production incidents

The operational goal is stable service delivery, fast recovery, and clear root-cause evidence.
