Job Title: Senior Software Engineer
Department & Team: Media Control Services
Reports to: Jon Melnik
Location: Ireland

At Genesys, we’ve built the best cloud-based Customer Experience (CX) service offerings ever. It was built from the ground-up in the cloud and handles millions of interactions per day. We have hundreds of services deployed across global environments, and we push out dozens of product builds per day using a top-notch CI/CD pipeline.

What this role is:

You will help lead the Genesys Cloud Media Control Team into building the next generation of telephony microservices. These services will provide the foundation for our Genesys Cloud product. This team will build features to enhance the customer onboarding experience. You will coordinate closely with Product Management, User Experience and various Development teams.

What this role isn’t:

As a Senior Engineer, you will be responsible for day-to-day development and maintenance of features. This role isn’t building html templates or simple single page sites. You will be creating complex features and will control the entire feature life cycle from initial concept to the final deployment.

What you’ll bring to the table:

To be successful, you need to have a strong understanding of modern telephony development and REST API solutions. We need people who are strong problem solvers that want to make significant contributions to our team and product. You need to be curious and keep abreast of new tools and technology. Being resourceful and detail-oriented is also a key to success on our team.

Some details about what you will do:

Standup with the team for open communication, idea sharing, supporting other team members, answering questions.
Participate in code reviews to learn, grow, and teach team members.
Create scalable and supportable backend APIs. These are not trivial microservices that and will need to be able to support 10,000s of transactions per second.
Unit, integration, and manually test code that you've developed.
Look for areas of improvement, with the code, architecture, and infrastructure.
Answer questions for other team members.
Openly communicate progress and concerns.

Minimum Requirements:

You’ll need 4+ years of C++ experience. The more experience you have understanding telephony call control the better.
You will need to have experience building backend REST APIs, using C++ first, but Java, Rust, or Go second.
Comfortable working with AI coding like Cursor or Amazon Kiro.
Experience building and deploying these services to the cloud using AWS and CI/CD pipelines. Experience with Jenkins is a plus.
The problems we are trying to solve aren’t easy. You need to be willing to step in and help find solutions to the complex challenges.
We don’t just lock ourselves in the office all day. Having strong communication skills is a must for our team.
