5+ years of backend software engineering experience, ideally with Node.js or TypeScript.
Strong API design, system architecture, integration, debugging, and asynchronous systems experience.
Hands-on experience with AWS Lambda or similar cloud/serverless architecture.
Experience with logging, monitoring, search, data pipelines, or production observability.
Practical use of AI coding assistants for development, testing, refactoring, and troubleshooting.
Fluency with GitHub workflows, including pull requests, code review, branching, and CI/CD collaboration.
Senior-level judgment to turn ambiguous operational problems into clean, maintainable technical solutions.
Experience in contact center, telephony, customer support, or workflow automation environments.
Exposure to platforms such as Genesys Cloud, Twilio, Five9, NICE, Zoom Contact Center, or Avaya.
Familiarity with routing, queues, IVR, SIP, phone number management, call metadata, or agent-assist workflows.
Experience with Snowflake SQL, Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS SAM, or related infrastructure tooling.
This senior role will help Navan modernize the technical foundation behind our contact center environment. The work includes legacy platform migration, improved reliability and observability, AI-enabled automation, and new services that make our customer and agent experiences faster, smarter, and easier to operate.
