  • Analyze Contact Trace Records (CTR) to troubleshoot call flows and improve customer experience.

  • Customize the Contact Control Panel (CCP) using the Amazon Connect Streams API.

  • Design serverless, event-driven solutions with AWS Lambda and API Gateway, and integrate with enterprise applications via REST APIs.

  • Define monitoring, security, scalability, and automation best practices, including proactive monitoring with Amazon CloudWatch.

  • Build reporting and analytics with Amazon Connect reporting tools and BI platforms.

  • Work with architects, developers, QA, and business stakeholders, and present designs and recommendations to client leadership.


Required Qualifications



  • 5+ years of hands-on Amazon Connect experience, including contact flows, routing, queue management, and CTR analysis.

  • Proven experience in an architect or lead design role on Amazon Connect implementations.

  • Experience leading client-facing workshops and presenting to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Experience with Cisco UCCE/UCCX (or Genesys, NICE, Avaya, Five9) and migrating from those platforms to Amazon Connect.

  • Experience customizing the CCP with the Streams API.

  • Strong working knowledge of AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Amazon RDS, S3, and CloudWatch, plus serverless and event-driven design.

  • Strong JavaScript and Node.js skills. Python preferred.

  • Experience developing and consuming REST APIs and integrating cloud applications with enterprise systems.

  • Strong understanding of IVR design, ACD, WFM, and omnichannel engagement (voice, chat, email).

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to lead a room.


Preferred Qualifications



  • AWS Certified Solutions Architect or AWS Certified Developer (other AWS certifications a plus).

  • Experience with Amazon QuickSight, Power BI, or Tableau and contact center KPIs.

  • React, Angular, or similar front-end experience for custom agent desktops.

  • Experience supporting enterprise-scale cloud contact center implementations.
