IT Software Engineer

USA - Atlanta, GA; USA - Hoboken, NJ; USA - Sandy, UT

At NiCE, we don’t limit our challenges. We challenge our limits. Always. We’re ambitious. We’re game changers. And we play to win. We set the highest standards and execute beyond them. And if you’re like us, we can offer you the ultimate career opportunity that will light a fire within you.

IT Software Engineer, Core AI Development

So, what’s the role all about?

NICE is assembling a core engineering team to build the internal AI platform that powers intelligent automation across the enterprise. As IT Software Engineer in the Orchestration AI Development team, you will move beyond using AI tools, you will build them.

You will implement the foundational components of NICE's AI architecture: the integration layer that connects enterprise systems via MCP, the agent orchestration engine, the Models Gateway, RAG pipelines, and the tooling that makes every developer at NICE more productive. Your work ships to production and is used daily by hundreds of colleagues.

This is a full-stack engineering role with a strong AI focus. You will write clean, production-quality code, collaborate closely with the Software Architect and DevOps teams, and operate with significant autonomy on technically complex problems.

 

 How will you make an impact?  

You will own and build the core components of NICE's AI platform, the integration layer, agent platform, Models Gateway, RAG pipelines, and developer tooling, working hands-on across the stack with the Architect, DevOps, and Security teams.

Build the MCP Integration Layer 

• Implement MCP server and client libraries that connect enterprise systems (Atlassian, Microsoft 365, ServiceNow, Workday, Salesforce, Snowflake) to AI agents
• Design and expose clean tool schemas; handle auth flows (OAuth2, managed identity); implement error handling, retries, and rate limiting
• Build the A2A (Agent-to-Agent) interoperability layer enabling multi-agent collaboration across the platform

Develop the AI Agentic Platform 

• Implement production-grade AI agent frameworks: ReAct loops, tool-augmented reasoning, multi-agent orchestration, memory and state management
• Build agent harnesses for specific NICE use cases: IT helpdesk automation, procurement workflows, HR self-service, developer productivity agents
• Integrate with Azure AI Foundry and Anthropic Claude API, managing context windows, tool use, streaming responses, and multi-turn conversations

Engineer the Models Gateway 

• Build a unified gateway abstracting multiple LLM providers (Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source models via Azure ML)
• Implement model routing logic, fallback chains, cost-based dispatch, latency budgeting, and per-team quota enforcement
• Add logging, token metering, and usage dashboards for FinOps visibility

Build RAG Pipelines & Vector Infrastructure 

• Design and implement document ingestion pipelines: chunking, embedding generation, metadata enrichment, and upsert into vector stores
• Build retrieval pipelines with hybrid search (dense + sparse), re-ranking, and context assembly for LLM prompts
• Manage vector DB infrastructure on Azure AI Search and/other; own schema design and index optimization

Implement Prompt Management & LLM Evals 

• Build a prompt registry: version control, templating engine, environment promotion, and rollback
• Design and run LLM evaluation pipelines: automated regression tests, hallucination detection, task-specific benchmarks
• Implement human-in-the-loop feedback collection and model performance tracking dashboards

Contribute to Developer Tooling & CI/CD 

• Build and maintain GitHub Actions workflows for AI component testing, deployment, and rollback
• Write reusable SDK / client libraries for internal teams consuming the AI platform
• Integrate GitHub Copilot and Azure AI Foundry into the development workflow; document patterns for the broader R&D org

Observability & Production Operations 

• Instrument all AI components with OpenTelemetry: traces, metrics, and structured logs
• Build Azure Monitor dashboards and alerts covering inference latency, error rates, token spend, and agent success rates
• Participate in on-call rotation for critical AI platform services

 

Have you got what it takes? 

• 2-5 years of professional software engineering experience with Python or TypeScript in production environments
• Hands-on experience building and deploying LLM-powered applications: RAG pipelines, agents, tool use, or prompt engineering systems
• Strong understanding of REST API design, async programming, and event-driven architecture
• Experience with at least one agent or orchestration framework: LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or equivalent
• Practical knowledge of Azure services: at minimum Azure OpenAI, Azure Storage, and Azure Container Apps or AKS
• Solid Git workflow: branching, PRs, code review, CI integration
• Ability to write clean, tested, documented code that others can build on
• Comfort working in fast-moving environments with evolving requirements
• Fluency in English

Bonus: 

• Experience implementing MCP servers / clients or similar tool-integration protocols
• Familiarity with the Anthropic Claude API, tool use patterns, and multi-turn conversation management
• Experience with vector databases: Azure AI Search, pgvector, Qdrant, Weaviate, or Pinecone
• Knowledge of LLM evaluation frameworks: Evals, RAGAS, LangSmith, or custom harness development
• Experience with GitHub Copilot enterprise configuration, policy management, or extension development
• Background in enterprise IT systems integration (Jira, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Workday, M365)
• Familiarity with OpenTelemetry instrumentation and Azure Monitor / Grafana

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
