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.
So, what's the role all about?
- You'll architect and deliver production-ready conversational AI agents that sit at the core of the business and directly fuel company growth.

- You'll collaborate directly with decision-makers at the world’s leading enterprises to tackle their highest-priority challenges with agentic AI.
- The patterns and problems you encounter in the field will feed directly into the evolution of the platform, tools, and product roadmap.
How will you make an impact?
- Develop agentic systems (agents) for large-scale companies that measurably outperform human operators in areas like retention and churn reduction.
- Build agents that handle nuanced, integrated customer interactions, across a range of CX transforming use cases.
- Design reusable agent frameworks adapted to the specific demands of di erent industries.
- Drive design partnerships around new product directions, including agent architectures, self-service features, and generative development workflows.
- Push the boundaries with emerging voice models and pioneer their integration into enterprise-grade deployments.
- Set the standard for how AI agents are constructed, evaluated, and improved in live production settings.
