• Production Support & Engineering
  • Troubleshoot production issues across flows, bot behavior, Lambda functions, APIs, data dependencies, and telephony/customer-experience components; lead root-cause analysis and durable remediation.
  • Implement repeatable engineering practices for change management, versioning, peer review, testing, release readiness, rollback, and production support.
• Observability, Security & Documentation
  • Improve observability through logging, dashboards, alerts, traceability, and practical service-level measures for IVA availability, containment/automation performance, transfer behavior, errors, and customer experience.
  • Apply security and privacy controls appropriate for sensitive customer information, including least-privilege access, secrets management, encryption, auditability, and secure API practices.
  • Create and maintain technical documentation, runbooks, architecture diagrams, and operational knowledge so the platform can be supported and enhanced as a durable internal capability.
• AWS & Platform Enhancement
  • Assess new Amazon Connect and AWS capabilities pragmatically, recommending adoption only where they provide a clear operational, customer, or maintainability benefit.

• 7+ years of software, cloud, contact-center, or platform engineering experience, including 2+ years delivering and supporting Amazon Connect solutions in a production environment.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience building and maintaining Amazon Connect contact flows and integrating Connect with AWS Lambda and external systems.
• Strong experience with one or more programming languages used for serverless development, such as Node/Javascript.
• Working knowledge of AWS IAM, CloudWatch, logging/monitoring, API integration, networking fundamentals, and secure cloud engineering practices.
• Experience with conversational AI/IVA technologies, including Amazon Lex or a comparable platform, and an understanding of intent design, context/session management, error recovery, and live-agent escalation.
• Experience supporting customer-facing or business-critical systems, including incident response, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and change/release management.
• Ability to explain technical tradeoffs clearly to both technical and nontechnical partners, and to work effectively across product, operations, security, and vendor teams.
• Amazon Connect: contact flows, queues, routing profiles, prompts, telephony configuration, agent experience, contact attributes, reporting/metrics, and security configuration.
• IVA and conversational experience: Amazon Lex or comparable conversational AI platforms; intent/utterance design, session and context handling, fallbacks, escalation to live assistance, and conversation analytics.
• AWS serverless and integration services: Lambda, API Gateway, IAM, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, S3, DynamoDB, EventBridge/SNS/SQS, Secrets Manager, and related services as applicable.
• Engineering enablement: infrastructure/configuration as code where practical, source control, automated tests, CI/CD, environment promotion, and deployment controls.
