4769-Principal Software Architect

About the Role We at Innovaccer are looking for a Principal Engineer to build and own the most amazing product experience for our contact center. You’ll get to work with other engineers to build delightful feature experiences to understand and solve our customers’ pain points.

Our backend platform powers a healthcare contact center and AI agent product used by health systems and clinics, running as a set of async, containerized services across multiple live customer deployments, with a growing AI agent stack spanning voice, chat, and SMS.

Beyond core ticketing and scheduling workflows, the platform is investing in two strategic capabilities: standalone AI voice/chat/SMS agents that can operate with minimal platform dependency, and an in-call "next best action" layer that turns today's reactive AI assistant into a proactive one.

A Day in the Life Own the architecture for one or more of: the AI voice agent platform (conversational AI pathway orchestration, call routing, inbound/outbound flows), next-best-action AI assistant guidance, or standalone AI agents that operate across voice, chat, and SMS with minimal dependency on the core platform UI Design real-time, low-latency systems for in-call intent detection and next-best-action suggestion (sub-second latency budgets across transcription, speaker separation, and inference) Design an orchestration layer that exposes AI agent workflows as reusable, callable actions consumable by other systems (e.

g.

a broader automation/journey engine), including output contracts and versioning Define patient/customer identification, context retrieval, and escalation contracts for agents operating with minimal identifiers, ensuring safe failure and handoff to a human with a full audit trail Drive the AI agent evaluation and reliability framework (task completion rate, containment rate, transfer rate, conversion/booking rate, webhook success rate, P50/P95/P99 latency) and set SLOs for agent-facing services Lead technical design reviews
