• 12+ years of overall technology experience, including substantial experience in software engineering, platform engineering, or enterprise application development
• 8+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, and delivering scalable production-grade solutions
• 5+ years of experience operating at a senior technical level with architecture, design, and enterprise integration responsibilities
• Strong proficiency in one or more modern programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, and/or TypeScript
• Demonstrated experience building automation, analytics, or AI-enabled solutions in complex enterprise environments
• Experience working in AI-assisted development environments using tools such as Devin, Claude Code, and Codex
• Strong understanding of system integration, APIs, distributed application design, and enterprise software development practices
• Solid architectural foundation with the ability to design solutions that are secure, scalable, resilient, and supportable
• Experience with modern software development lifecycle practices, including version control, testing, CI/CD, release management, and production support
• Strong collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work effectively across technical disciplines

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in enterprise contact center engineering, customer experience technology, or similarly complex operational platforms
• Familiarity with Genesys Cloud and its role within modern contact center ecosystems
• Experience evaluating or applying AI capabilities within customer experience or service operations environments, including familiarity with Gemini for CX and Sierra.ai
• Experience building or integrating AI/LLM-enabled solutions such as intelligent assistants, workflow orchestration, summarization, retrieval-based experiences, or operational analytics
