SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Are you passionate about automation and building reliable backend solutions? Do you want to grow your skills on microservices that power CI/CD processes and cloud infrastructure at scale? At Genesys, we're looking for a Software Engineer to join our platform team and help drive automation, scalability, and developer experience - using both strong engineering fundamentals and modern AI-assisted development practices.

At Genesys, we're a collaborative group of problem solvers and technical enthusiasts. You'll be embedded in a team where senior engineers invest in your growth, and where your contributions have real impact on global CI/CD infrastructure. You'll learn alongside people who care about automation, microservices architecture, backend excellence, and using the latest AI-powered tooling to build faster and better.

Hybrid working model from either Durham (North Carolina) or Indianapolis (Indiana) office.
Candidates residing in these locations will be considered only.

This position is not eligible for employer-sponsored work authorization (e.g., H-1B, TN, O-1, or other employment-based visas), now or in the future. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States at the time of application and throughout employment without the need for current or future employer sponsorship.

• Implement microservices for CI/CD:
  Build and maintain backend microservices in Python that support CI/CD pipelines, enabling reliable and scalable deployment processes.
• Contribute to CI/CD infrastructure:
  Develop APIs and automation components that improve deployment and testing environments, increasing speed and reliability across the development lifecycle.
• Support system reliability:
  Monitor and maintain backend services, investigate issues, and contribute to the availability and performance of distributed systems.
• Apply AI-assisted engineering practices:
  Use tools like Claude, Cursor, and Kiro to accelerate coding, code review, testing, and debugging - while applying sound engineering judgment about when AI output needs verification versus when it can be trusted as-is.
• Collaborate and grow:
  Work closely with cross-functional teams, participate in code reviews, and continuously develop your technical skills with support from senior engineers.

• You have 3-5 years of experience in software engineering, with exposure to microservices or distributed systems and production support/maintenance.
• Proficient in Python, with a focus on building backend applications and automation tooling.
• You have hands‑on experience with cloud-based technologies (AWS preferred; Azure a bonus) and an interest in supporting development teams with robust backend solutions.
• Familiar with CI/CD concepts and comfortable working with pipelines, automation tools, and version control systems.
• You're methodical when diagnosing issues and have a continuous improvement mindset.
• You communicate clearly with teammates, ask good questions, and take ownership of your work while knowing when to elevate.
• You have practical, day-to-day experience using AI coding tools - such as Claude, Cursor, Git Hub Copilot, or Kiro - for writing,…
