This role is focused on building and improving Virtual Agents and Agentic Agents on Genesys Cloud. You will develop NLU models and perform prompt engineering strategies, as well as review and improve post-launch performance. The work is hands-on and data-driven, involving ongoing analysis of real conversations and continuous tuning of both NLU and prompt performance.

You will also work directly with customers to understand requirements, review performance, and explain improvements. This is a good fit for someone who enjoys working deeply with language data, refining models and prompts through iteration, and directly impacting how well automated systems perform in production.

• Analyze failures in LLM-driven interactions and identify root causes (prompt, orchestration, or data issues)
• Iteratively refine prompts to improve reliability, edge-case handling, and user experience
• Evaluate end-to-end performance across NLU and LLM layers, implementing optimizations
• Establish and apply evaluation frameworks for continuous improvement of agentic systems

NLU Development

• Design and build NLU models (intents, entities, utterances) aligned to real user behavior and business use cases
• Define intent taxonomy and entity structures to ensure scalability and maintainability
• Create and curate high-quality training data to maximize coverage and accuracy

NLU Analysis and Tuning

• Analyze conversation logs to identify misclassifications, false positives, gaps, and edge cases
• Perfom post-launch tuning of NLU models through updates to training data, intent structure, and entity recognition
• Create and execute scripts to aid in analysis and application of updates to NLU models
• Measure and track NLU performance using defined evaluation metrics and test sets

Requirements:

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning or related technical field
• 3-5 years of experience working with conversational AI, generative AI, or related language technologies
• Experience with python and nodeJS for data preparation, analysis, evaluation, and tuning
• Experience with Genesys Cloud, other CCaaS or conversational AI platforms
• Comfortable presenting findings, recommendations and performance improvements to customers
• Comfortable working independently while collaborating with cross-functional teams
• Fluency in Spanish or French is an asset
