About the Role
As a Cloud Engineer III specializing in Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS), you will architect, optimize, and scale an enterprise-grade cloud communication ecosystem. Serving as a primary subject matter expert for NICE CXone, you will dive into complex existing architectures to elevate system performance, build real-time integrations across major business platforms, and spearhead the adoption of next-generation conversational AI and voice technologies.
In this role, you will lead high-severity incident troubleshooting, mentor junior engineers, and drive automation initiatives across a distributed contact center environment.
Responsibilities
· Scripting & Workflow Engineering: Analyze, refactor, and expand complex routing scripts and advanced call-flow architectures to support evolving business requirements.
· Conversational AI & Automation: Architect, deploy, and tune conversational AI solutions, including large language model (LLM) agents, multimodal chatbots, and agentic voice automations.
· Enterprise Systems Integration: Build and maintain high-reliability, real-time API integrations connecting NICE CXone with critical platforms (Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Epic EHR).
· Security & Biometrics: Deploy, configure, and optimize fraud mitigation tools and voice biometric verification frameworks to safeguard customer interactions.
· Incident Leadership & RCA: Serve as technical lead for major platform outages and tier-3 escalations, driving rapid mitigation, comprehensive root-cause analysis (RCA), and permanent remediations.
· Observability & Proactive Monitoring: Establish telemetry, alerting, and automated monitoring to surface and address performance anomalies before they impact end-users.
· Technical Mentorship: Guide CCaaS analysts and engineers through code reviews, architectural best practices, and knowledge sharing.
· Architecture Documentation: Develop and maintain detailed systems architecture designs, data flow diagrams, API schemas, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Minimum Qualifications
· Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, a related quantitative field, or equivalent practical engineering experience.
· 5+ years of hands-on technical experience with cloud contact center technologies, with specialized expertise in NICE CXone administration, routing, and script development.
· Demonstrated experience designing and integrating RESTful APIs and real-time middleware with enterprise platforms (Salesforce, ServiceNow, or Epic).
· Hands-on experience developing conversational AI interfaces, chatbots, or LLM-powered agent workflows.
· Strong background in tier-3 platform troubleshooting, outage resolution, and root-cause analysis in distributed cloud environments.
Preferred Qualifications
· Experience deploying voice biometrics, authentication frameworks, or fraud prevention tooling within CCaaS platforms.
· Proficiency in modern scripting languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript) to automate operational workflows and API connectors.
· Track record of mentoring engineering teams and defining CCaaS architectural standards in large enterprise environments.
