About the role
We're looking for a Senior Operations Engineer, CX to design, build, deploy, and improve the technology-enabled systems that make our customer experience operations faster, more scalable, and more reliable. This isn't a traditional software engineering role — we need a senior builder and operator who can deeply understand an operational workflow, determine the right technical approach, build or orchestrate a solution, launch it, measure the outcome, and continuously improve it. You'll sit at the intersection of CX, Operations, Product, Engineering, and Data, independently leading complex initiatives that support cross-functional and company-level goals.
Some of the things you’ll do:
Independently identify, prioritize, and lead high-impact operational initiatives from discovery through launch, measurement, and iteration Design, build, deploy, and maintain AI-enabled tools, agents, automations, and workflows that improve customer support and other CX operations Translate complex operational processes and policies into clear system logic, prompts, tools, escalation paths, and appropriate human-in-the-loop controls Use APIs, webhooks, workflow platforms, internal tools, and AI platforms pragmatically to connect systems and automate end-to-end workflows Build and improve LLM-powered workflows for use cases such as classification, routing, summarization, troubleshooting, suggested responses, quality assessment, and automated resolution Partner closely with frontline teams to understand workflow pain points and turn them into scalable systems and tooling improvements Work effectively with Product, Engineering, Data, Finance, and other partners, translating operational needs into clear technical requirements and helping cross-functional teams move faster Troubleshoot issues across integrations, prompts, workflows, and data flows, independently resolving what sits within the role and engaging Engineering when deeper product or infrastructure work is required Define success measures and evaluate the impact of AI and automation through metrics such as resolution rate, accuracy, quality, handle time, escalation rate, customer satisfaction, time savings, and operational efficiency Create practical evaluation methods, test cases, and quality controls to identify workflow failures, edge cases, hallucinations, and unintended customer impact Proactively surface opportunities for AI, automation, and systems improvements rather than relying on a backlog of requests Maintain clear documentation, runbooks, system logic, and governance practices for the solutions you own Stay current on emerging AI and automation capabilities and determine where they can create meaningful operational value Provide technical guidance, share context, and help raise the systems-thinking and execution bar across the broader CX Operations team
