About us
Founded in 2016, TelQ is a global pioneer in SMS quality assurance, helping businesses around the world test and optimize their telecom communication. We’ve built a powerful cloud-based SaaS platform that enables our customers to analyze, benchmark, and improve the quality of their SMS delivery with ease and precision.
With the largest network of 12,000+ real testing devices, TelQ has processed over 75 million test results to date. Our solution offers testing coverage for more than 1,500 networks in 180+ countries, making us the partner of choice for major mobile operators in Europe and Asia, as well as top-tier SMS service providers over the globe.
Despite being a tight-knit team of around 26 people from 14 countries, our impact is anything but small. Clients consistently choose us not only for our accurate and cutting-edge testing tool but also because of the dedicated people behind it—always reliable, responsive, and committed to delivering exceptional service.
We don’t just build great tools—we’ve built a great team. Our culture is what turns ideas into impact, and challenges into achievements.
We operate in a lean, agile environment, where ownership, responsibility, and individual impact are central to everything we do. There’s little room for bureaucracy and a lot of space for innovation, initiative, and growth.
We believe that great products start with great people. That’s why we invest heavily in continuous learning, employee development, and modern technologies. Whether it's refining our features or improving our internal workflows, we’re always looking ahead and striving for excellence.
We’re proud of the trust we’ve earned in the telecom industry—but even prouder of the team and culture behind it. Join us, and be part of what makes TelQ exceptional.

Our people
Oleg Makarov
I believe TelQ’s team success comes down to two core principles: exceptional hiring standards and a high degree of autonomy and trust. Once someone earns their place at TelQ, they’re given real autonomy and trust. We don’t micromanage but highly encourage initiative, ownership and continuous improvement across the company. Proactivity is not only welcomed but actively recognized and rewarded. We believe that when talented people share aligned values, they’ll make the right decisions most of the time. And when they don’t, we treat it as a learning opportunity—not a failure.

Our success comes from the values and principles we share, while also considering each person’s uniqueness and their individual needs. The differences broaden our perspective and strengthen our impact—both in business and in our personal growth. That’s why we take great care in choosing new team members, looking beyond just skills to find people whose personality, values, and mindset help us all thrive. We encourage everyone at TelQ to bring their full self to work, to express themselves openly and comfortably, and to keep growing with our support.

We recognize that hiring isn’t just about us choosing the right candidate — it’s equally about creating an environment where candidates feel inspired to choose us. That mindset shapes every step of the hiring process, creating space for curiosity, questions, and genuine two-way discovery. We firmly believe that our people are our greatest asset. With this in mind, we are committed to supporting not only the company’s objectives but also the individual aspirations of our employees. We invest in both personal and professional development, ensuring that our team members have the resources to grow and thrive. Equally important to us is cultivating a workplace where individuals feel comfortable, engaged, and motivated. To that end, we organize a variety of team-building activities that help foster a positive, inclusive, and enjoyable work environment.

What I appreciate most about working at TelQ is the balance between professionalism and openness. You’re surrounded by experienced people who are always ready to support you, but there’s no rigid hierarchy — your voice matters here. In fact, expressing your thoughts on anything related to the company is encouraged, whether it’s about processes, tools, or how we work as a team.
Kristina Nesic
One of the things I appreciate most about working at TelQ is the chance to develop my professional potential. I’m genuinely supported in growing in the areas that interest me, which makes my work both fulfilling and motivating. Recently, I had the opportunity to take a business development course — an experience that feels like just the beginning of my professional growth and a valuable step toward strengthening our customer success efforts.
Anja Svecarovski
At TelQ, everyone brings their unique strengths without the pressure of knowing everything. My colleagues are always willing to help. This culture of support, coupled with a sense of shared achievement, makes every victory feel like a team win. Despite working remotely, the strong connections we build through virtual coffees, party Fridays, and office visits keep us aligned and motivated. I always feel like my contributions matter, and knowing that my colleagues have my back ensures we can provide the best support to our customers.
Selection process
Our selection process may vary slightly depending on the role, but the typical structure looks like this:
1. Introductory Interview
You'll first meet with our HR manager for a conversation where you’ll learn more about TelQ, our team, and the way we work. It’s also a chance for us to get to know you (your background, motivations, and expectations).
2. Practical challenge
For technical and specialized roles, we usually assess your skills through a take-home challenge or a live technical session with our team. This helps us evaluate your problem-solving approach, technical knowledge, and how well they match the role.
3. Technical interview
In this stage, we take a deeper dive into your professional skills. You'll meet with future team members or leads who will explore your experience, approach to work, and ability to tackle real-world challenges.
4. Final interview
You’ll have the opportunity to meet our CEO and CCO. This conversation focuses on cultural fit, values, and vision—both yours and ours. It’s the final step to see how we align beyond skills.
