Senior Software Engineer
The Genesys Digital & AI group builds the innovations that power customer experiences for 7,500+ organisations worldwide. As a Senior Engineer you’ll ship clean, reliable backend services and data flows that underpin our Agentic AI products at global scale. You’ll co‑design sane interfaces with AI specialists, keep systems stable and cost‑aware, and help the team deliver secure, maintainable software quickly. We iterate rapidly and aim to deliver valuable applied AI features to as many customers as possible.
What You Will Do:
Own well‑defined services or components end‑to‑end. Design, build, test, deploy and operate backend capabilities (APIs, events/streams, storage, consistency, caching), including on‑call participation and post‑GA care.
Deliver features from discovery to GA. Write clear technical docs and contribute to design reviews; break work down sensibly and land change without drama.
Build for scale and stability. Implement observability, SLOs, runbooks and back‑pressure/limits; take part in incident response and post‑mortems.
Collaborate across teams. Partner with Agentic AI specialists, Product, Security, SRE and Data to design stable interfaces, plan dependencies and ship predictable outcomes.
Improve our engineering bar. Write clean, well‑tested code; review PRs; contribute to golden paths/templates, API/event design standards and automated testing.
Make pragmatic trade‑offs. Balance latency, reliability, security and cost using measurement (profiling, load testing) rather than guesswork.
Security and governance by design. Apply threat modelling, least‑privilege IAM, secrets hygiene and data retention/residency with strong auditability.
Communicate crisply. Keep stakeholders in the loop with concise proposals and status updates; turn complex options into clear decisions.
Support the team’s growth. Share knowledge, pair program and offer kind, direct feedback; mentor mid‑level and early‑career engineers informally.
What We're Looking For:
Bachelor’s degree in computer science (or equivalent experience).
4+ years building backend or platform software with evidence of strong ownership.
Proficiency in Python and/or Java, plus solid foundations in algorithms, data structures and distributed‑systems design.
Experience with service and event‑driven architectures (REST/gRPC; Kafka/Kinesis/SQS), schema evolution, idempotency, backwards‑compatible APIs and data modelling.
Comfortable with AWS (IAM, networking, DynamoDB/RDS, S3, ECS/Lambda/serverless) and modern DevOps/SRE (CI/CD, IaC, automated testing, observability, runbooks, on‑call).
Curiosity about Agentic AI and LLM‑adjacent workloads (tooling, retrieval, evaluation, safety/guardrails) and a willingness to partner with experts in the area.
Strong communication skills: able to align with Product and explain complex ideas simply.
A growth mindset, healthy pragmatism and a bias‑to‑action.
Desirable Experience or an Interest in Learning:
Analytics and data tooling, e.g. Apache Spark, Pandas.
Batch data processing (Spark/Flink/EMR/Glue) and data quality tooling.
LLM systems concepts (tool use/orchestration, retrieval, evals) and cost/latency trade‑offs.
Observability at scale: metrics, traces, logs, SLOs and error budgets.
Security, privacy and governance of enterprise software.
Our team already includes people of many genders, nationalities, ages and backgrounds. Diverse teams build better products, full stop; so if you’re unsure whether you meet every bullet, please apply anyway. We’re keen to hear how your unique experience can strengthen our crew.
