Job Title: Senior Software Engineer

Department & Team: CX and Core Services

Location: Ireland

The Genesys Cloud Platform API Team builds and maintains a suite of business-critical, high-throughput microservices at the core of Genesys Cloud. Our systems are foundational to the platform, with a strong focus on reliability, scalability, and performance to ensure seamless operation for both customers and the internal teams who build on top of it.

As the platform continues to evolve, we are expanding the team’s scope to include AI infrastructure that supports emerging patterns such as MCP and A2A.

Our mission is to enable product teams to focus on delivering customer value, while we provide the scalable building blocks they rely on. While this role includes exposure to modern distributed AI systems, the primary focus is designing and operating the infrastructure that enables teams to build AI-powered features. Familiarity with MCP and A2A is helpful, but most important is the ability to translate evolving concepts into clear requirements and robust systems.

As a member of the team, you will:

• Develop and deploy highly available, scalable, and fault-tolerant software that will help drive improvements towards the features, reliability, performance, and efficiency of the Genesys Cloud platform.
• Work with a distributed team.
• Be expected to operate independently but have ample, friendly support available.
• Actively review code, mentor, and provide peer feedback.
• Champion large projects and mentor junior members on the team.
• Partner with other teams to transform concepts into requirements and requirements into services and tools.
• Build, deploy, maintain, and automate large global deployments in AWS.
• Troubleshoot production issues and come up with solutions as required.
• Participate in an on-call rotation with the rest of the team. We take pager fatigue very seriously and tune alerts to be relevant and actionable.

What you need to be successful in this role:

• You will likely have at least a BS in Computer Science or related field.
• You have a minimum of 4 years’ experience working with Java in industry.
• You are self-driven and comfortable taking the initiative to work asynchronously with your team.
• You can breakdown complex problems to find and implement the simplest solutions.
• You are prepared to dig in deep to understand a wide area of necessary domain knowledge. Many problems will be new, never been seen before. Your first job is to understand.
• You design not just with a mind for solving a problem, but also with maintainability, testability, monitorability, and automation as top concerns.
• You should be comfortable developing software in Java or a similar modern, multi-paradigm language.
• You have very strong communication and collaboration skills.
• You have a solid understanding of concurrent or multi-threaded programming.
• You have worked with and understand NoSQL/Key-Value data storage technologies.
• Familiarity with MCP, agentic AI systems, and Agent-to-Agent protocols is a plus

Technologies we embrace:

• “Right tool for the right job” over “we always did it this way”
• Jenkins and Ansible for immutable machine images and automation
• AWS for cloud infrastructure
• Infrastructure (and everything, really) as code
• Distributed version control with Git and BitBucket
• Automation for everything. CI/CD, testing, scaling, healing, orchestration, etc.
• Kafka for stream processing
• DynamoDB and Redis / Valkey for storage and query
