We’re here for it. We think you should be too. We’re looking for a driven professional with an inclusive mindset to join our team as an API Developer.

As a developer on our Contact Center API Solutions team, you will deliver RESTful API solutions for our rapidly evolving Contact Center integrations. You will develop solutions built for sustainability and performance, and will improve the architecture to handle our growing number of API-based Contact Center integrations. You will collaborate closely with product managers, testers, and other developers to design, test, code, deliver, and support software within an Agile Scrum environment via an architecture built on a cloud infrastructure. Our Contact Center APIs support the Contact Center that provides customer service and support for Crate and Barrel and CB2 customers. This position requires experience in RESTful APIs and other emerging API strategies in a highly collaborative, exciting, and fast-paced atmosphere that requires great communication skills.

This position is fully remote.
