The Opportunity

We are seeking a System Engineer (IT Support) to join our team in Cairo. This role is critical in providing hands-on IT support to our local Contact Center agents, ensuring they have the tools and assistance needed to deliver exceptional customer experiences. As Cairo is a new support location, you will play a key role in establishing and shaping our IT support presence on the ground.

In This Role, You’ll Get To:

• Serve as the primary IT support contact for Cairo Contact Center agents, assisting with technical issues related to systems, tools, and access—both in-person and remotely (phone, chat, email).
• Troubleshoot and resolve booking discrepancies, technical tool access issues, and escalate larger system problems as needed.
• Monitor core routing and contact center systems, proactively identifying and escalating major issues to relevant teams or vendors.
• Collaborate with internal partners and vendors to support system functionality and drive improvements.
• Manage operational questions and issues, including equipment break/fix, voice quality, and interaction flow routing.
• Contribute to maintaining and optimizing computer and contact center systems, ensuring maximum benefit for users.
• Act as a point of escalation for booking-related errors, consolidating and communicating issues to the appropriate departments.
• Respond to technical outages and act as an incident manager, coordinating with other departments to restore functionality.
• Participate in business specification, configuration, planning, testing, and validation of interaction flows.
• Occasionally perform maintenance tasks outside core hours to ensure business continuity.

What You’ll Need to Succeed:

• At least one year of experience in a Contact Center environment, ideally in a supervisory or IT support role.
• Practical experience with IT troubleshooting and supporting typical office applications (e.g., SharePoint Online, desktop suites, Virtual Desktop solutions).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a logical and curious mindset.
• Experience with contact center/work optimization platforms (such as Avaya, Genesys, Verint, or similar) is a plus.
• Exposure to data-centric environments (reporting, data aggregation & analysis, using data to identify and solve problems).
• Excellent customer service orientation and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently, demonstrate self-motivation, and collaborate effectively with others.
• Positive, open attitude with a desire to learn, grow, and take ownership in a dynamic environment.
• Good command of written and spoken English.
