Description

Position Summary We are seeking a motivated Junior Full-Stack Java Developer with a foundational understanding of contact center technologies to join our engineering team. This role involves the development, maintenance, and Level 3 support of enterprise applications that power our contact center operations across Cisco and Genesys platforms. The ideal candidate is a self-driven professional who thrives in a remote environment, takes ownership of their work, demonstrates strong troubleshooting skills, and collaborates effectively across cross-functional project and product teams without the need for micromanagement. You will be responsible for building and maintaining full-stack solutions using a microservices-based back-end architecture with Java Spring Boot and front-end technologies such as Vaadin, Thymeleaf, and Bootstrap/HTML5. Back-end development centers on designing, building, and maintaining loosely coupled microservices that communicate via RESTful APIs, message queues, and event-driven patterns. Applications will integrate with PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Informix databases. Services are deployed either on-premise or within Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using Docker and Kubernetes. You will also work with Microsoft Active Directory (via Azure AD/Entra ID) for authentication and identity management integrations. Core Responsibilities Develop, test, and deploy full-stack enterprise Java applications using a microservices architecture with Spring Boot, RESTful APIs, and front-end technologies including Vaadin, Thymeleaf, and Bootstrap/HTML5 to support contact center operations. Design and implement microservices following best practices including API gateway patterns, service discovery, circuit breakers, and inter-service communication via REST and messaging. Build and maintain microservices with containerized deployments using Docker and orchestration via Kubernetes for both on-premise and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments. Provide Level 3 (L3) production support by performing root cause analysis, diagnosing complex application and integration issues, and implementing timely fixes to restore service. Serve as the escalation point for issues that cannot be resolved by L1/L2 support teams. Develop and customize Cisco Finesse agent desktop integrations, gadgets, and workflows, including working with the Finesse API and extending agent and supervisor desktop capabilities. Perform customization and configuration of Coral Interactive (softphone) solutions to enhance agent communication and call handling workflows. Write and optimize SQL queries, stored procedures, and data access layers to integrate with PostgreSQL (primary), SQL Server, and Informix databases. This role does not include database administration responsibilities. Develop against and integrate with Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise (UCCE) and Cisco Customer Voice Portal (CVP) for IVR routing, call flow logic, and VXML application development. Work with Genesys Platform SDK (PSDK) for integration with Genesys contact center environments, including familiarity with Genesys Voice Portal (GVP) for IVR development. Integrate applications with Microsoft Active Directory (Azure AD/Entra ID) for authentication, authorization, single sign-on (SSO), and identity management workflows. Deploy, configure, and manage applications on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and on-premise infrastructure, leveraging cloud-native services for scalability, monitoring, and reliability. Utilize Splunk for application monitoring, log analysis, troubleshooting production issues, and building operational dashboards and reports to support L3 support functions. Actively leverage AI-powered development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Grok, Claude) to accelerate development workflows, improve code quality, generate documentation, and enhance productivity. Collaborate with project managers, product owners, QA engineers, and fellow developers as part of project and product teams to deliver features on schedule and to specification. Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and technical design sessions to maintain high standards of code quality and system reliability. Create and maintain technical documentation including design specifications, API documentation, runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and deployment procedures. Proactively identify and resolve technical debt, performance bottlenecks, and security vulnerabilities across the application stack.
