the lottery is wage-weighted — each level is one more entry
$20,575 more — $187,075 — moves this role to Level II and 2 lottery entries. That figure is inside the range the employer already advertised.
Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $187,075 would place this position at wage Level II. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Software Developers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

About the role
- Integrate with CCaaS and telephony platforms.
- Work directly inside a customer's telephony, CTI, and CCaaS environment - mapping their existing architecture, standing up and tuning the connection into ServiceNow's Voice ecosystem, and troubleshooting live issues on their network and vendor stack.
- Specify precisely and direct engineering work.
Responsibilities
- Software engineering fundamentals. Strong command of data structures, algorithms, system design, APIs, data modeling, and testing.
- Call path reliability and observability. Ability to design for failover and graceful degradation across carriers and vendors, and to instrument, monitor, and diagnose connectivity issues in production.
- Working knowledge of how a hosted voice and agent ecosystem - such as ServiceNow's Voice/CTI and Native Voice Controls - consumes audio, signaling, and event streams, enough to design an integration the platform can reliably use without building the agent logic itself.
- Specification precision and architectural judgment. Ability to define integration and connectivity problems rigorously enough for another engineer to implement correctly, and sound judgment on build-versus-integrate tradeoffs across vendor ecosystems.
- Build the connectivity layer. Design, build, and operate the SIP trunking, signaling, and media integrations that connect a customer's telephony and CCaaS platform to ServiceNow's Voice/CTI and Native Voice Controls ecosystem.
- Deliver as a forward deployed engineer, embedded in the customer's environment.
- Collaborate across product, design, and engineering.
- Partner with product managers, voice AI agent engineers, and platform teams - Voice/CTI, CCaaS, and Native Voice Controls - to define integration requirements, align on tradeoffs, and communicate capability and risk clearly.
- Enterprise domain depth. Customer service, contact center operations, or enterprise IT/telephony operations, at a depth sufficient to challenge a requirement rather than only implement it.
- Build the connectivity layer.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience with SIP trunk provisioning, PSTN/carrier relationships, number porting, and codec-level audio handling below the application layer.
- Deep, hands-on experience with one or more major CCaaS platforms - such as Genesys, NICE, Five9, or Amazon Connect - beyond generic integration patterns.
- Experience with tracing, monitoring, and analysis tooling for real-time communications systems, and analysis of production call and connectivity data at scale.
- Practical knowledge of SIP, RTP/SRTP, WebRTC, codecs, media gateways, and the latency, jitter, and packet-loss characteristics of live audio.
- Working knowledge of risks specific to telephony integrations - SIP security, media encryption, call-recording and PII handling, over-broad access - translated into concrete guardrails and monitoring.
- Years of Experience.
Nice to have
- Advanced degrees or certifications are a plus but are not a substitute for a demonstrated record of shipping reliable, production voice and telephony connectivity.
Skills
- Key Competencies, Skills, and Experience
Compensation
- $167k-$291k
Benefits
- Monitor connectivity health across live customer deployments, triage call-path incidents, and feed recurring failure patterns back into architecture and runbooks.
Company info
- Comfort working directly with customers inside their telephony environment under incomplete information and fixed timelines, and credibility communicating capability, limitation, and risk to non-engineers.
