• Experience using monitoring, observability, and alerting tools to support high-availability systems.
• Strong troubleshooting, communication, and documentation skills, with the ability to work effectively across technical and business teams.
• Experience supporting contact center technologies such as Genesys Cloud, IVR systems, ACD routing, call flows, or workforce management integrations is highly desirable.
