  • Design, build, deploy, and version Amazon Connect Contact Flows.
  • Configure and maintain Amazon Connect resources including:
    • Queues

    • Uses managed secrets (no embedded credentials)
    • Supports release promotion without code changes
  • Ensure no hard-coded:
    • Endpoints
    • Credentials

  • Contribute to and follow a documented deployment runbook for consistent, repeatable releases across application components.
  • Participate in defect triage and resolution for issues introduced through delivered changes.
  • Collaborate with QA and stakeholders to ensure enhancements meet quality standards before promotion.

  • Strong AWS serverless development experience:
    • AWS Lambda (Node.js or Python)
    • API integration patterns supporting IVR flows
    • DynamoDB
  • Experience building telephony/IVR experiences, including failure-safe behavior and degraded-mode handling.
