Sr. Software Engineer, CX AI Agents

Your experience may come from software engineering, conversational AI development, implementation engineering, professional services, or another hands-on technical role. What matters most is that you have personally built and delivered customer-facing AI agents, not simply worked with LLMs, RAG applications, internal copilots, or AI prototypes.

You will work within an innovations team that functions as a product studio, taking real customer problems from discovery through design, development, integration, and production deployment. You will build solutions on top of Genesys Cloud that can ultimately scale across customers and industries through AppFoundry.

This position is not eligible for employer-sponsored work authorization (e.g., H-1B, TN, O-1, or other employment-based visas), now or in the future. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States at the time of application and throughout employment without the need for current or future employer sponsorship.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and deploy customer-facing AI agents for voice, messaging, chat, and other customer experience channels
• Design AI agents that can understand customer needs, maintain context, make decisions, use tools and APIs, and complete customer tasks
• Build experiences that effectively manage AI-to-human handoffs, including context transfer, routing, and escalation
• Integrate CX AI agents with APIs, CRM platforms, enterprise applications, knowledge sources, authentication systems, and business workflows
• Own solutions from customer problem discovery through architecture, development, integration, testing, implementation, and production deployment
• Partner with customers, product teams, solution consultants, and technical stakeholders to translate CX problems into working AI solutions
• Design for the realities of production customer interactions, including guardrails, reliability, latency, observability, security, and failure handling
• Evaluate agent performance based on task completion, resolution, escalation, customer outcomes, and other measurable CX results
• Rapidly prototype and iterate while developing reusable solutions and patterns that can scale across customers and industries

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on experience building, implementing, and deploying customer-facing AI agents in production customer experience environments
• Experience building AI agents that interact directly with customers through voice, messaging, chat, virtual agent, or other conversational channels
• Demonstrated experience designing agents that do more than answer questions, including the ability to take actions, call APIs or tools, interact with business systems, and complete customer tasks
• Experience designing or implementing human-agent handoffs, escalation paths, context management, and conversational workflows
• Experience integrating CX AI agents with enterprise systems, APIs, CRM platforms, customer data, knowledge sources, or business processes
• Experience taking customer-facing AI solutions from development or implementation through production deployment and ongoing iteration
• Approximately 5+ years of hands-on technical experience building or implementing software solutions
• Strong software development experience using Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, Node.js, or similar technologies
• Experience deploying and operating applications in AWS or comparable cloud environments
• Experience working directly with customers or customer-facing teams to understand requirements and turn them into working technical solutions
• Ability to independently solve ambiguous technical problems and own delivery from concept through production

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with contact center, CCaaS, conversational AI, virtual agent, or AI-powered customer service platforms
• Experience building voice AI agents, messaging agents, virtual agents, agent assist, or automated customer service experiences
• Experience with platforms such as Genesys Cloud, Amazon Connect, NICE CXone, Five9, Twilio, Salesforce, ServiceNow, or similar CX technologies
• Background in software engineering, conversational AI development, implementation engineering, professional services, or customer-facing technical delivery
• Experience designing AI solutions around authentication, transactions, customer data, compliance, security, and enterprise governance
• Experience with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, observability, and enterprise SaaS environments
