You will translate product goals into sound designs, drive implementation, coordinate integration with other teams, and deliver reliable, maintainable software.\n\nYou will remain accountable for the technical quality and evolution of the software you own. The role requires independence, initiative, and sound judgment: defining the work, making tradeoffs, addressing dependencies, and carrying commitments through to a useful outcome.\n\nAI-assisted development is central to the role. We value engineers who use coding agents to accelerate delivery and learn unfamiliar technologies, while retaining the understanding needed to verify, maintain, and troubleshoot the systems they build.\nResponsibilities\nOwn a subsystem from design through production. Take responsibility for its technical direction, implementation, interfaces, testing, operational readiness, and ongoing improvement. \nTurn product goals into clear designs and achievable delivery plans. Define interfaces and data flows, explain tradeoffs, identify dependencies, and raise risks and blockers early. \nPersonally implement critical functionality and resolve difficult technical problems. Work across backend services, APIs, messaging, and data, with user-facing components where relevant to the subsystem. \nEstablish clear integration contracts with adjacent systems. Address compatibility, failure behavior, and the effect of changes on other teams and users. \nUse AI coding agents for substantial engineering work. Define tasks and constraints, provide context, challenge generated solutions, and verify results through tests, measurements, and targeted code review. \nBuild quality into the subsystem. Address security, performance, resilience, and maintainability through automated tests and validation of realistic failure scenarios. \nCarry work through release and production use. Establish observability and safe rollout and rollback practices with operating teams, investigate failures, and follow through on improvements. \nCollaborate with product, engineering, and operations partners. Document decisions, share knowledge, review code, and help others contribute to and support the subsystem. \nRequired Experience\n10+ years of relevant software engineering experience, with demonstrated technical depth and end-to-end ownership of production software. \nOwnership of a substantial production service, subsystem, or product capability, with personal contributions to design, implementation, integration, and ongoing improvement. \nStrong backend engineering skills in at least one production language, such as Go, Rust, Node.js with TypeScript, Java, or a comparable language. \nAbility to reason about distributed systems, concurrency, state, APIs, asynchronous messaging, data storage, and failure handling. \nExperience with automated testing, deployment, observability, performance analysis, and production troubleshooting. \nPractical use of AI coding agents for substantial engineering work, with the ability to explain decisions, identify mistakes, and establish confidence in the result. \nAbility to work independently through ambiguity, learn unfamiliar technologies, and coordinate technical decisions and delivery dependencies across teams. \nClear communication and the ability to move between system design and implementation details. \nPreferred Experience\nProduction development in Go or Rust. \nEvent-driven systems and messaging platforms such as Kafka, NATS, RabbitMQ, or comparable technologies. \nModernizing existing services while preserving compatibility and customer behavior. \nContact center, telecommunications, or other real-time applications with demanding reliability and latency requirements. \nDelivery across backend services and modern frontend applications. \nProduction AI integrations involving tool use, retrieval, orchestration, or evaluations. \nEducation\nBachelor degree or equivalent experiencePay Transparency\nThe pay range for this opportunity is from $179,127 to $234,100 + benefits. This range represents the anticipated low and high end of the salary plus bonus for this position. Actual total compensation will vary and is based on factors such as a candidate's qualifications, skills, and competencies.\nSponsorship and Equal Opportunity\nApplicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States without the need for visa sponsorship now or in the future.\n\nAvaya is an Equal Opportunity employer and a U.S. Federal Contractor.
