At Genesys, we're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our dynamic team, pushing the boundaries of automation, scalability, and innovation.

Location & work model: Hungary · Hybrid (office + home) · Full-Time

Genesys engineering is investing heavily in AI-augmented software delivery: AI-assisted coding and review workflows in daily use, smarter automation through CI/CD, practical paths for governed local AI tooling on developer workstations, and observability with guardrails so we understand how teams adopt AI reliably—not just experimentally. You'll operate alongside platform engineering and developer-productivity leaders who are actively shaping safe, scalable patterns for internal AI adoption—not merely consuming third-party tools off the shelf.

At Genesys, we're more than just a team—we're a collaborative group of problem solvers and technical enthusiasts. Our engineers thrive on overcoming complex design challenges, ensuring reliability, and building high-performance backend systems that support development and deployment for global services. You'll work alongside people who share your passion for automation, microservices architecture, and backend excellence.

You'll join Platform Engineering and Developer Experience — responsible for CI/CD, platform microservices on AWS cloud infrastructure - at the core of how Genesys ships software, often with deep AWS-centric work (services, scaling patterns, and automation). Exact placement may vary across sibling teams within the same organization, depending on evolving priorities; what stays constant is ownership of reliable systems that accelerate engineering outcomes.

• Develop Microservices for CI/CD: Design and implement backend microservices — primarily in Python, with TypeScript or Go welcome for services and tooling — that support and streamline CI/CD pipelines, enabling seamless, scalable deployment processes. Expect frequent collaboration adjacent to AWS-native infrastructure, containers, APIs, and automation used across engineering.
• Advance measurable AI in the pipeline: Contribute to tooling and telemetry so AI-assisted engineering workflows stay understandable and operable—including clarity around adoption signals and reliability as AI integrates into development and delivery.
• Optimize and Enhance CI/CD Infrastructure: Build systems and APIs that automate deployment and testing environments, enhancing speed and reliability across the development lifecycle.
• Ensure High-Availability and Reliability: Monitor, maintain, and optimize backend services for high performance, contributing to the reliability and uptime of distributed systems.
• Collaborate and Mentor: Work closely with cross-functional teams to support CI/CD initiatives and share your expertise, fostering growth within the team.

• You have 5+ years of experience in software engineering, ideally with expertise in developing microservices and distributed systems.
• Proficient in Python (+ TypeScript is an advantage), with a focus on building scalable backend applications and automation tools.
• You have experience working with cloud-based technologies (AWS preferred) and a passion for supporting development teams with robust backend solutions.
• Familiar with CI/CD processes and automation, and comfortable with tools that support continuous integration and deployment pipelines.
• You're skilled at diagnosing and resolving complex issues, with a mindset toward continuous improvement in both processes and technical solutions.
• You communicate technical concepts effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders and believe in a collaborative, team-oriented approach to problem-solving.

• Proven experience in designing and implementing microservices architectures in a CI/CD environment.
• Solid background in cloud infrastructure and high-performance backend systems.
• Familiarity with distributed systems and the challenges of scaling complex backend applications.
• Knowledge of Agile methodologies and a drive to apply best practices for automation, CI/CD, and backend development in day-to-day work.

These deepen fit for teams skewed toward AWS-heavy platform work—they are not universal gate criteria.

• Hands-on experience designing or operating systems on AWS at meaningful scale.
• Comfort with infrastructure as code (for example Terraform or CloudFormation) and cloud automation patterns.
• Strength in observability and reliability engineering as applied to backend services.

• Stability of a multinational company and the flexibility/speed of a startup company.
• The warmest of welcomes: we will make sure you feel part of the Genesys team from day 1.
• Keep you in the loop: Complete support and transparency from our global/local leaders.
• An A-team: Talented and experienced professionals you can grow professionally with.
• An open & inclusive community.
• Career development: We will support your professional growth because your goals are important to us.
• Flexibility: we are open to candidates being eventually office based in Budapest, remote workers long term or a mix of both, but Hungary based. 
• Empathy: your well-being is our priority. You will have extra days off in August and October, and extra time off to volunteer to help a cause close to your heart.
• Cafeteria, health insurance, life insurance, learning center to improve yourself, language courses, gym, vitamin bar, company cafe with our own barista.
• And a fabulous new HQ from near Nyugati Railway Station at Budapest.
