The Mission
This role is a Senior QA/Test Engineer specializing in Amazon Connect and contact center technology, responsible for designing and executing comprehensive test strategies across contact flows, routing, IVR/self-service, and AI-driven conversational agents. They validate legacy-to-Connect migrations, build and maintain manual and automated test suites (Playwright, Cypress, Selenium) spanning UI, API, and serverless backend components, and ensure production readiness through cutover validation, monitoring verification, and incident triage. Beyond hands-on testing, they partner with engineers to shift quality left, run UAT sessions with customer stakeholders, and contribute reusable test assets and mentorship to strengthen Caylent's contact center QA practice.
Your Assignment
Test Strategy & Contact Center Quality
- Design and execute test strategies for Amazon Connect implementations covering contact flows, routing logic, IVR/self-service, Cases/Tasks workflows, and Contact Lens configurations
- Build test plans that validate AI agent behavior: intent recognition accuracy, escalation paths, barge-in/fallback handling, hallucination guardrails, and multilingual/SSML voice interactions
- Validate legacy-to-Connect migrations (i.e. Avaya, Genesys, Connect, NICE) through parallel-run testing, flow conversion verification, and data migration validation
- Define and track quality metrics (defect density, test coverage, escape rate) and report on release readiness to delivery leads and customer stakeholders
- Hands-on experience with web application and web automation testing
Manual, Automated & Full-Stack Testing
- Build, maintain, and execute manual and automated IVR test suites, using tools such as Cyara, Hammer, or Botium (preferred).
- Build, maintain, and execute manual and automated web application test suites, using frameworks such as Cypress, Selenium, or Playwright (preferred).
- Build and maintain manual and automated test suites: Playwright E2E and API tests, Cypress, Selenium, integration tests against live Amazon Connect instances, and end-to-end tests of Amazon connect call flows.
- Test custom Agent Workspace experiences (Amazon Connect, Agent Assist)
- Validate serverless, event-driven backends (Lambda, EventBridge, Step Functions, SQS/SNS, DynamoDB, Kinesis) with integration and contract tests
Production Readiness & Operations
- Execute phased rollout and cutover validation for live contact centers, where testing gaps translate directly into missed calls and customer impact
- Verify monitoring and alerting coverage (CloudWatch metrics, alarms, dashboards) across voice, chat, tasks, queues, agents, Lambda, and AI agents prior to go-live
- Participate in production incident triage, reproducing defects and validating fixes across the contact center stack
- Perform security and compliance validation: least-privilege IAM checks, DevSecOps scan review, and encryption standard verification
Collaboration & Practice Contribution
- Partner with engineers during development to shift testing left: pairing on test design, reviewing acceptance criteria, and flagging risk areas early
- Run UAT sessions with customer stakeholders, triage findings, and drive defects to resolution ahead of production cutovers
- Contribute reusable test assets (automated suites, test data sets, QA checklists) back to the CXE practice
- Mentor junior QA engineers on contact center testing patterns and Caylent's quality standards
Your Qualifications
- 8+ years of QA/test engineering experience, including 3+ years testing contact center, CCaaS, or IVR/voice platforms
- Hands-on experience with Amazon Connect or a comparable CCaaS platform: contact flows, routing, Cases/Tasks, and reporting
- Proficiency with automated testing frameworks (Playwright E2E and API tests, Cypress, Selenium) for unit, integration, and E2E testing
- Experience testing serverless/event-driven AWS architectures (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Step Functions)
- Working knowledge of conversational AI / voice testing considerations: intent accuracy, latency, fallback behavior
- Strong defect documentation and triage skills; comfortable running UAT sessions with business and technical stakeholders
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) and integrating automated tests into deployment workflows
Preferred Qualifications
- Contact center migration testing experience (i.e. Avaya, Genesys, Connect, NICE)
- Experience with AI observability/trace validation (agent spans, token/cost attribution) or accessibility engineering
- AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, Developer, or ML/Connect-relevant Specialty)
- Contact center operations fluency: Quality management, outbound compliance, and CX KPIs
- Consulting or client-delivery background
- Hands on experience with Cyara Botium

About this role
Caylent is seeking a Senior QA Engineer to own quality strategy and execution for Amazon Connect implementations and contact center modernizations. This role sits at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, conversational AI, and customer-facing systems—you'll design test strategies that validate everything from contact flows and IVR logic to AI agent behavior and legacy platform migrations, then execute them across manual testing, automated frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, Selenium), and serverless AWS components. The work carries real operational weight: testing gaps directly impact call handling and customer experience, so you'll also drive production cutover validation, incident triage, and monitoring verification to ensure go-live readiness.
Beyond hands-on testing, you'll partner with engineers to embed quality earlier in the development cycle, facilitate UAT sessions with customer stakeholders, and build reusable test assets that strengthen Caylent's contact center QA practice. You'll need 8+ years of QA experience with at least 3 years in contact center or CCaaS platforms, strong proficiency in modern test automation frameworks, and comfort testing serverless AWS architectures. Experience with contact center migrations, AI observability, or consulting delivery is valued but not required.
This is a remote contract role based in Mexico, suited for someone who thrives in client-delivery environments and wants to apply deep QA expertise to a specialized, high-stakes domain.
