Senior Software Engineer

Open 30d posting dated 2 weeks ago

Be the one building AI-powered experiences where they matter most.


At Genesys, we help organizations create better customer experiences through AI-powered experience orchestration. Our platform connects people, systems, data and AI to help organizations deliver more personalized service, improve operational efficiency and build stronger customer relationships.


Help build, support and operate technology used by more than 8,000 organizations in over 100 countries – moving AI from possibility to production in real-world enterprise environments every day.


About the team

The Analytics & Reporting team powers the backend behind customer-facing analytics and reporting in the Genesys Cloud platform. We build the services that handle configuration, orchestration, data processing, and large-scale export delivery for enterprise customers worldwide. This is a collaborative, curious, and supportive group that values honest feedback, celebrates wins together, and believes good engineering happens when people genuinely enjoy working with each other.

What you will do

  • Design, build, and operate backend services that process, transform, and deliver analytics and reporting data at scale.
  • Own features end-to-end: requirements analysis, API and data model design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production support.
  • Architect reliable distributed systems: define service boundaries, async workflows, data contracts, failure strategies, and scaling approaches.
  • Write clean, testable Java with Spring Boot; build and maintain APIs that other teams and customers depend on.
  • Integrate deeply with AWS managed services for compute, messaging, storage, and observability as part of your day-to-day work.
  • Drive quality through comprehensive unit and integration testing, meaningful code coverage, and stable CI pipelines.
  • Participate in technical decision-making: evaluate tradeoffs, select methods and tools, and document decisions clearly for the broader team.
  • Mentor and coach junior engineers through pairing, code review, and knowledge sharing; help set the technical standard in your area.
  • Collaborate with senior individual contributors to shape technical direction and improve engineering practices across the organization.

Must have

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
  • 5+ years of professional backend software development experience (a relevant Master's or Ph.D. may reduce required experience by 2-4 years).
  • Deep proficiency in Java (modern versions, e.g. Java 12+) and the Spring ecosystem (Spring Boot, dependency injection, REST controllers, configuration management).
  • Hands-on AWS experience with services commonly used in application backends: compute, IAM, messaging/queuing, storage, monitoring, and logging.
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems: asynchronous processing, event-driven patterns, retry strategies, idempotency, consistency trade-offs, and failure handling.
  • Solid API design skills: RESTful contracts, versioning, error handling, and documentation that other teams can rely on.
  • Disciplined approach to testing: unit tests, integration tests, and the judgment to know what level of testing a change needs.
  • Comfort working in multi-module Maven projects with shared libraries across services.
  • Strong communicator with an ownership mindset, a genuine interest in mentoring junior engineers, and the kind of positive energy that makes a team fun to work with.

Nice to have

  • Python for AWS Lambda functions, scripting, or lightweight services alongside Java.
  • Apache Kafka or similar event streaming platforms (producer/consumer patterns, topic design, operational awareness).
  • Valkey/Redis for caching, session management, or rate limiting.
  • DynamoDB or comparable NoSQL databases (data modeling, access patterns, capacity planning).
  • Experience with infrastructure as code (CloudFormation, Terraform) and automated deployment pipelines.
  • Familiarity with resilience libraries (e.g. Resilience4j), distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry), or container-based integration testing (Testcontainers).
  • Exposure to QA automation in Java: building API-level test frameworks, writing test data generators, and validating backend services using SDK-based helpers and assertion libraries.
  • Prior involvement in project leadership: scoping work, delegating tasks, and reviewing deliverables across a small team.

Why this role

You will not just write code. You will shape how analytics and reporting works for thousands of enterprise customers, make architectural decisions that stick, and grow alongside a team that values both engineering depth and a healthy, enjoyable work culture.
