About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 7 years of hands-on software engineering experience, including at least 2 years building on Amazon Connect or comparable CCaaS platforms at enterprise scale.
  • Strong, current Amazon Connect skills, including contact flows, routing, Cases and Tasks, Contact Lens, Customer Profiles, Streams API, and the Connect data and analytics stack.
  • Hands-on experience with conversational and generative AI, Amazon Lex, and LLM-based development using Amazon Bedrock, Q in Connect, or equivalent, including prompt engineering and tool calling.
  • Strong TypeScript/Node.js and Python skills, production React experience, and solid AWS serverless engineering experience with Lambda, EventBridge, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Step Functions, and Kinesis.
  • Infrastructure-as-code proficiency with AWS CDK or Terraform, including multi-account deployment patterns.
  • Experience shipping and supporting production systems, testing discipline, observability instrumentation, and incident debugging across the full stack.
  • Clear communication with customer-facing composure, ability to demo work, explain trade-offs, and run working sessions with client engineers.
  • Current legal authorization to work in the country where the position is located.

Responsibilities

  • Build AI-native self-service using Amazon Connect AI agents, Amazon Q in Connect, and Amazon Bedrock (Claude model family), implementing multi-agent orchestration patterns with orchestrator agents delegating to task-specific agents and escalation paths to human queues.
  • Engineer prompts and tool-calling integrations at production scale, including SearchProfiles lookups, case creation, external API tools, authentication flows, and guardrails against hallucination and verification loops.
  • Implement barge-in handling, fallback, and error-recovery behavior for voice AI, and validate it with turn-by-turn trace analysis.
  • Optimize inference cost and latency hands-on through model tier selection (Haiku, Sonnet, or Opus), prompt caching, and token budgeting against containment-rate targets.
  • Diagnose AI agent performance using observability tooling, including agent spans and CloudWatch, correlating contact flow logs, conversation transcripts, AI agent spans, tool executions, and token usage to isolate latency, cost, and quality issues.
  • Build conversational experiences using intent-based natural language understanding where appropriate, including multilingual support and SSML-tuned voice interactions.
  • Build contact flows integrating AI agents, Lambda-backed business logic, Customer Profiles, and dynamic data-driven routing.
  • Implement Amazon Connect Cases and Tasks solutions, including case templates, queue-based work allocation, SLA/TAT monitoring, approval workflows, and migrations from legacy case systems.
  • Configure and operationalize Contact Lens for real-time sentiment, post-contact summaries, category rules, and quality management.
  • Implement proficiency-based and attribute-driven routing, outbound campaigns (including answering machine detection and compliance controls), and workforce management integrations for forecasting, scheduling, and adherence.
  • Build the Amazon Connect analytics data lake using Glue, Lake Formation, and Athena, and build QuickSight dashboards for real-time operations and executive reporting.
  • Support migrations from legacy platforms including Avaya, Genesys, Cisco, Oracle, and Salesforce through flow conversion, data migration, parallel-run validation, and production cutover on live contact centers.
  • Build custom Agent Workspace experiences with the Amazon Connect Streams API, third-party app embedding, and CRM screen-pop integrations with Salesforce, ServiceNow, Oracle, and custom systems.
  • Build serverless, event-driven backends with Lambda, EventBridge, Step Functions, SQS/SNS, DynamoDB, and Kinesis for real-time event processing and customer journey orchestration.
  • Build accessible components compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA, conduct automated axe-core/Playwright accessibility scanning, and support VPAT/Section 508 documentation on government and enterprise engagements.
  • Author infrastructure as code primarily with AWS CDK (TypeScript), or with CloudFormation or Terraform where customer environments require them.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and automated test suites including Jest/Vitest unit tests, Playwright end-to-end and API tests, and integration tests against live Connect instances.
  • Follow phased rollout patterns for production contact centers and write runbooks for production cutovers.
  • Instrument monitoring and alerting with CloudWatch metrics, alarms, and custom dashboards across voice, chat, tasks, queues, agents, Lambda, and AI agents, and participate in production incident triage.
  • Apply security and compliance baselines, including least-privilege IAM, DevSecOps scanning, and encryption standards.
  • Work directly with customer engineering teams by pairing on integrations, running technical working sessions, demonstrating completed workstreams, and leading knowledge transfer so customers can operate the delivered systems.
  • Contribute to architecture decisions within the workstream; evaluate native Connect capabilities before custom builds, surface trade-offs to practice leads, and document decisions.
  • Perform code reviews, uphold engineering standards, and mentor junior and mid-level CX engineers through pairing and review feedback.
  • Contribute reusable assets to the practice, including shared CDK constructs, skills/plugins, demo environments, and internal tooling.
  • Support pre-sales as needed by building proof-of-concept demos and providing implementation-grounded input on estimates and SOW technical scope.

Desired Qualifications

  • AWS certifications such as Solutions Architect, Developer, or an ML/Connect-relevant Specialty.
  • Contact center migration experience, including migrations from Avaya, Genesys, Cisco, Oracle, or Salesforce to Amazon Connect.
  • Experience in regulated verticals such as government/public sector (Section 508, FedRAMP), healthcare (HIPAA), or financial services.
  • Contact center operations fluency, including workforce management concepts (forecasting, scheduling, adherence), quality management, outbound compliance (TCPA), and CX KPIs (containment, AHT, CSAT, SLA/TAT).
  • Experience with AI observability (trace correlation, token/cost attribution, latency profiling) or accessibility engineering (WCAG 2.1 AA, axe-core automation).
  • Consulting or client-delivery background.
