About the role
What will you do at Roadrunner?
IT is the operational backbone at Roadrunner. We operate a high-reliability
logistics network where real-time communication, system uptime, and contact
center performance are critical. When voice systems fail or the contact center
degrades, operations slow down immediately. This role exists to ensure that
doesn’t happen. We are looking for a hands-on, high-ownership engineer who can
operate across voice, network, and CCaaS platforms—someone who can design,
stabilize, and evolve systems, not just support them. This is not a
ticket-driven role. This is a role for someone who wants to own outcomes. What
you’ll do 1. Lead voice platform evolution Own and support Cisco voice
environment (CUCM, Unity, Jabber) Drive execution of the Cisco → Microsoft Teams
voice migration Ensure call quality, reliability, and scalability across the
enterprise Troubleshoot complex voice issues across network, carrier, and
platform layers 2. Own and scale CCaaS platform (Five9, Zoom, Nice) Act as a
core technical owner for our CCaaS initiative Lead stabilization and
optimization of the current CCaaS (Five9) environment and future Zoom or Nice
post-deployment Design and improve call flows, routing logic, and agent
experience Support integrations (SSO, voice routing, APIs, backend systems)
Partner with business stakeholders to translate operational needs into technical
solutions 3. Operate across network and connectivity layers Work across network
paths (LAN/WAN, SD-WAN, ISP, SASE) to ensure reliable voice and CCaaS
performance Identify and resolve latency, jitter, and routing issues impacting
real-time systems Partner with network engineering to improve resilience and
performance 4. Build stability and eliminate recurring issues Identify systemic
issues and eliminate root causes Drive automation and operational improvements
Improve monitoring, alerting, and observability across platforms Move
environments from reactive support to predictable, stable operations 5.
Contribute to secure and scalable infrastructure Support security initiatives
(identity, endpoint, monitoring) Ensure platforms are aligned with security and
compliance requirements Design with long-term scalability in mind What you bring
Must-haves (non-negotiable) Proven experience owning voice and CCaaS
platforms—not just supporting them Hands-on experience with Cisco UC (CUCM) and
Microsoft Teams Voice Experience with contact center platforms Strong
understanding of network fundamentals impacting real-time traffic (latency, QoS,
routing) Ability to troubleshoot across multiple layers (endpoint → network →
platform → carrier) Experience supporting or participating in platform
migrations or transformations Nice-to-haves (differentiators) Experience with
Direct Routing, SIP, CUBE, or carrier integrations Exposure to SASE / SD-WAN
(e.g., Cato) Experience integrating CCaaS with CRM or backend systems
Scripting/automation experience (PowerShell, APIs) Experience improving
monitoring/observability (SolarWinds or similar) How you operate You take
ownership and drive issues to resolution You think in systems, not tickets You
are comfortable operating across multiple domains You challenge the status quo
and simplify complexity You communicate clearly with both technical and business
teams You prioritize stability, scalability, and long-term outcomes About
