Amazon Connect Engineer II/III — Contact Center Platform

We're looking for someone who genuinely knows Amazon Connect inside and out — not just used it, but has owned flow builds end to end (think: standing up a new call center's queues, quick connects, and routing from scratch). If you also bring broader AWS platform skills, that's a strong plus, but deep, hands-on Connect expertise is what we need most.

WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU: 

• Estimated Salary: $130,000 - $155,000, plus annual bonus opportunity. 

• 401(k) plan with a 2% company contribution and 6% company match. 

• Work-life balance with vacation, personal time and paid holidays. See our benefits and perks page for details. 

• Applicants for this position must not now, nor at any point in the future, require sponsorship for employment which includes OPT. 

This role is classified as remote; however, periodic in-person attendance will be required at times for activities such as quarterly or project planning, training, or other business-critical meetings

WHAT YOU'LL DO: 

• Own call routing & flows: Build, modify, and troubleshoot Amazon Connect call flows, queues, routing profiles, and quick connects to support ongoing contact center changes — new lines of business, reorgs, phone number changes, and more
• Build AWS serverless apps: Develop Node.js/TypeScript services using AWS Lambda, CDK, S3, and DynamoDB to power scalable solutions alongside Connect
• Support platform modernization: Help evaluate and migrate legacy tooling to native AWS alternatives (e.g., workforce management, screen recording) as our platform evolves
• Contribute to front-end tooling: Make updates to our internal contact center administration app (Vue.js/Nuxt.js) that gives supervisors and agents self-service controls
• Embed quality & reliability: Implement automated tests, CI/CD pipelines, and best practices for security and operational excellence
• Mentor & collaborate: Share Connect expertise with teammates, review designs/code, and help grow the team's platform-side depth

• Hands-on, professional experience building and managing Amazon Connect call flows, queues, routing profiles, and quick connects — this is the core of the role
• Experience level flexible (Engineer II or III) based on total years of relevant experience — we're evaluating candidates across a range and leveling accordingly
• Comfort working with AWS services (Lambda, DynamoDB, and similar) — direct Connect platform integration experience is a strong plus
• Familiarity with a modern front-end framework (Vue.js/Nuxt.js preferred; React/Angular experience also welcome — we'll help you ramp up)
• Experience with API design, automated testing, and CI/CD practices
• Ability to work independently, communicate clearly, and support teammates in a small, collaborative team
• You promote a culture of diversity and inclusion, value different ideas and opinions, and listen courageously
• Able to work remotely with access to high-speed internet, located in the United States or Puerto Rico

This role is classified as remote; however, periodic in-person attendance will be required at times for activities such as quarterly or project planning, training, or other business-critical meetings.

PREFERRED: 

• Experience with NICE (CXone/inContact) — not required; we'll train the right candidate, and our platform usage here is decreasing
• Node.js/TypeScript backend development experience
• Experience with CloudWatch/X-Ray, Step Functions, EventBridge, KMS, and least-privilege IAM
• Familiarity with contact center analytics, workforce management, or quality monitoring
• Prior experience with platform migrations (e.g., moving from a legacy tool to a native cloud replacement)
