Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain intents, entities, dialog flows, and NLU models for voicebots/chatbots on one or more CCaaS platforms (e.g., NICE CXone, Genesys Cloud, Amazon Connect, Five9, Avaya, Twilio Flex).

Configure and tune IVR call flows, DTMF/ASR grammar, barge-in, and voice biometrics settings for optimal containment and CSAT.

Write, test, and iterate conversation scripts/prompts, handling edge cases, disambiguation, and graceful fallback/escalation to human agents.

Monitor bot performance (containment rate, deflection, intent accuracy, CSAT) and continuously retrain/tune NLU models using production utterances.

Design and build LLM-powered agents capable of multi-step reasoning, tool/API invocation, and task completion (e.g., order status lookup, refunds, appointment scheduling) within the contact center workflow.

Implement RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) pipelines connecting agents to knowledge bases, CRM, ticketing, and backend systems for grounded, accurate responses.

Orchestrate multi-agent workflows (e.g., using LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, or platform-native agent builders) including handoffs between specialized agents and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.

Apply prompt engineering, guardrails, and evaluation frameworks to ensure agent responses are accurate, safe, and on-brand.

Collaborate with solution architects, QA, and platform teams to deploy, test, and support bots/agents in production environments.

Document flows, prompts, agent logic, and integration architecture for handover, audits, and knowledge continuity.

Design, develop, and maintain end-to-end applications supporting contact center operations, spanning front end interfaces, backend services, and data layers

Implement backend business logic, orchestration layers, and serverless functions supporting contact center workflows

Assist in solution design and architecture for chatbot, voicebot, and IVR journeys across multiple CCaaS platforms.

Own end-to-end bot lifecycle: Conversation design, NLU/NLP model development, integration, testing, deployment, and post-go-live optimization.

Integrate conversational solutions with CRM, ticketing, telephony (SIP/IVR), and backend enterprise systems using APIs, middleware, and webhooks.

Define and enforce best practices, reusable components, and design standards across projects.

Implement authentication, authorization, and secure data exchange patterns across application tiers

Analyze application and system performance and proactively optimize scalability, reliability, and maintainability

Collaborate with solution architects, product owners, and clients to translate business requirements into technical designs.

Troubleshoot production issues and drive root-cause analysis for bot performance degradation.

Support deployment, environment configuration, and release activities in partnership with DevOps teams

Collaborate closely with product owners, architects, designers, and cross-functional development teams to ensure successful delivery of solutions

Participate in architectural discussions, solution design reviews, code reviews, and best practice implementations

Manage defects through triage, root cause analysis, and resolution within agreed quality standards

Clear written and verbal communication for documenting flows and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Proven track record independently owning at least one end-to-end conversational or agentic AI deployment from design through go-live.

Experience defining evaluation metrics/test suites for LLM agent quality (accuracy, hallucination rate, task success rate).

Prior experience mentoring junior engineers or reviewing others' bot builds/prompt designs.

Proficiency in software development using Java, JavaScript, Python, or similar programming languages

Hands-on experience in front end programming using JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and modern frameworks such as React or Angular
