Principal Software Engineer

About the role

At TTEC Digital, we coach clients to ensure their employees feel valued, and fully supported, because an amazing customer experience is an employee first process. Our vision is the same, a place where employees know they can thrive.

TTEC Digital seeks a Principal Software Engineer to join our team. This role is a full-time and fully remote opportunity!

The work:

We’re an innovation group inside TTEC (NASDAQ: TTEC), building the next generation of AI CX tools — automated QA, conversational analytics, knowledge assist, and agentic automation — for the world’s biggest brands and the millions of customers they serve. We move like an early-stage startup, backed by the scale, distribution, and enterprise client base of a company that’s been obsessed with customer experience since 1982.

This is the rare seat where getting in early actually matters at scale. TTEC is a public company at an AI inflection point. Ship the right products into thousands of live enterprise deployments and you don’t just move a metric — you move the trajectory of the company and the value of the stock. The leverage is real, and the work compounds.

Who we hire — the DNA

-

Self-starters and do-ers with grit — hackers in the best sense, with a startup mentality and a show-me bias: working software over slides, prototypes over proposals.

-

Want to learn, love new technology. This platform is built on the latest technology, and that technology changes and advances monthly. You adapt to change quickly — new tools, new models, new priorities — without drama.

-

Master debuggers and problem solvers. You love solving complex problems, you think outside the box, and you multitask across domains without losing the thread.

-

AI-native. You work with AI on all levels — you understand the technology around you (LLMs, SLMs, RAG, knowledge graphs, agents, training, eval) and you use AI tools daily to exponentially increase your velocity.

-

Distributed-systems literate. High-efficiency, event-driven, low-latency systems are our world; you understand what that demands.

-

Innovators who ship. You demonstrate ideas easily, fail fast, and move forward. You make committed timelines and hit them.

-

You consider yourself exceptional — and you like winning. So do we.

No one will have everything in this description. We're looking for well-rounded, smart people who move fast.

What You will Do: The role:

- As this group's Principal Software Engineer, you will be the "right-hand" of the engineering leader and part of the org's leadership team.

- You will be the organization's problem solver. Not an architecture title you hide behind — a coder who jumps into whichever squad is stuck, ships the hard thing, and moves on.

- You will jointly own the Platform Architect responsibilities for C1 Platform Foundation. This is a fast-moving train in a startup environment: the tech we build on changes monthly, the plan changes with it, and you thrive on that.
