Job Title: Staff Software Engineer – Voice Platform
Summary:

We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join our Voice Platform team as a hands-on technical leader for high-performance, network-facing services that power real-time voice communications for Genesys Cloud contact centers worldwide. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced engineer who is proficient in C, strong in Java , networking and Linux , and motivated to grow deep expertise in SIP/VoIP and voice-platform systems.

You will work across systems-level software and cloud backend services, influence architecture and engineering practices, and help deliver reliable, scalable voice capabilities used by enterprise customers at global scale. Prior SIP/VoIP or contact-center experience is a plus, not a requirement. If you enjoy complex distributed systems, production ownership, and mentoring others while continuing to learn a specialized domain, this is a high-impact opportunity.

Key Responsibilities:
The primary responsibilities for this role include (but are not limited to):

- Lead the design, development, and delivery of scalable network and voice-platform services that support real-time communications with high reliability and operational excellence.

- Develop and maintain systems software in C , including work with network-facing and open-source platform components used in real-time communications.

- Design and implement cloud backend services in Java and contribute across related platform services as needed.

- Build and operate services on AWS , ensuring scalable, observable, and production-ready solutions.

- Apply strong networking and Linux systems skills to develop, integrate, and troubleshoot real-time communications workloads.

- Build fluency in SIP/VoIP and Genesys voice-platform concepts, and help the team apply them effectively.

- Lead troubleshooting of complex production issues spanning networking, systems, and service layers; drive root-cause analysis and lasting fixes.

- Partner with product, architecture, DevOps, QA, security, and operations to translate business and platform needs into durable technical solutions.

- Define and promote engineering best practices for design, code quality, CI/CD, testing, monitoring, logging, tracing, and production operations.

- Mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, incident response, and hands-on technical guidance.

- Drive continuous improvement in system performance, availability, scalability, fault tolerance, and maintainability across the voice platform.

Minimum Requirements:

- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including senior/lead-level impact

- Hands-on proficiency in C for systems or network-oriented software

- Hands-on proficiency in Java for backend service development

- Strong networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, UDP, TLS, sockets, and network debugging)

- Strong Linux experience in development and production environments

- Experience designing, building, and supporting services in cloud environments (preferably AWS)

- Experience leading technical initiatives from architecture through production delivery

- Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and influence technical direction

- Strong communication skills across engineering, product, and operations

- Experience supporting mission-critical, high-availability production systems

- Ability to learn SIP/VoIP and real-time co
