We are offering 3 contract Senior CXE Engineer roles focused on Amazon Connect, with an initial 6-month contract length and rolling extensions. The roles are UK remote based, with some travel for essential meetings, and involve work across deep Amazon Connect platform engineering, generative AI development on Bedrock and Claude, and full-stack serverless delivery. You will work within architectures set by practice leads while collaborating directly with customer engineering teams, contributing reusable assets back to the practice, and helping deliver production contact-center solutions at enterprise scale.
