Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps for agent configurations and fulfillment services.
Implement automated test suites covering unit logic, webhook APIs, dialog flow regressions, and end-to-end journeys.
Write and optimize complex SQL queries for conversational analytics and backend operations.
Architect fault-tolerant agent interactions, prompt engineering, and human escalation workflows.

Strong hands-on Python (must have), plus .NET (C#), TypeScript, and JavaScript.
Experience implementing automated testing for conversational systems and APIs (PyTest, NUnit/xUnit, Jest, or Postman/Newman).
Mastery of CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps (YAML, release gates, automated testing).
Experience integrating conversational agents with ServiceNow APIs (Incident, Change, Service Catalog, Flow Designer) and Azure services.
Strong SQL and relational database skills.
Experience operating in a SAFe environment.
Knowledge of OAuth2, API key management, RBAC, and secrets handling across GCP, Azure, and ServiceNow.
Able to work hybrid in New York City and interview on-site.
Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.

Preferred Qualifications:

Contact Center AI (CCAI) or telephony/voice gateway experience.
