About Decagon

Build, optimize, and scale AI agents that treat every customer like the only one. Backed by Accel, Index and a16z.

About the role

That means strong engineering underneath, and abstractions on top that hold up across different use cases without forking per customer.

  • Complex systems instincts, including asynchronous programming and the failure modes that only appear at scale
  • A high degree of comfort debugging system failures in deep technology stacks, using whatever tool gets you to the answer
  • A knack for turning customer asks into clear, well-scoped product and technical specs
