SENIOR GENESYS CLOUD ENGINEERS (SENIOR ENGINEER – CCAAS OPERATIONS)

General Challenges
We have been struggling with both roles due to:

• Candidates having primarily on‑prem Genesys Engage experience instead of Genesys Cloud.
• Limited candidates who meet the required years of hands‑on cloud experience.
• Clearance requirements narrowing the talent pool.

 
1. Senior Genesys Cloud Engineers (2 openings)
Key Requirements

• 5 years of Genesys Cloud experience preferred.
  • 3 years is acceptable and considered strong given market limitations.
• Candidates must have hands-on engineering experience, not just support.
• Must be able to hit the ground running with minimal hand-holding.
• Strong communication skills—they will often be in meetings alone and must communicate effectively with various stakeholders.
• Experience leading or driving projects is preferred.
• Must have implemented at least 3 channels in Genesys Cloud:
  • Email
  • Voice
  • Outbound
  • (Inbound voice alone is not enough—too basic.)
• If they have strong communication skills and multi-channel experience on other platforms but only 1–2 years in Genesys Cloud, we will still consider them.

Common Issues Encountered

• Many resumes show 15–20 years of Genesys Engage (on‑prem) and very little cloud experience.
• Candidates lacking true hands-on experience or project ownership.
• We need engineers who can quickly learn Maximus standards and perform with minimal oversight.

Pipeline

• Currently one candidate who passed the first screening and may be a solid fit. No other viable resumes.
