About Decagon
Decagon is the leading conversational AI platform empowering every brand to deliver concierge customer experiences.
Our technology enables industry-defining enterprises like Avis Budget Group, Block’s Cash App and Square, Chime, Oura Health, and Hunter Douglas to deploy AI agents that power personalized, deeply satisfying interactions across voice, chat, email, SMS, and every other channel.
We’re building a future where customer experiences are being redefined from support tickets and hold music to faster resolutions, richer conversations, and deeper relationships. We’re proud to be backed by world-class investors who share that vision, including a16z, Accel, Bain Capital Ventures, Coatue, and Index Ventures, along with many others.
We’re an in-office company, driven by a shared commitment to excellence and velocity. Our values — Just Get It Done, Invent What Customers Want, Winner’s Mindset, and The Polymath Principle — shape how we work and grow as a team.
About the Team
The Infrastructure team builds and operates the foundations that power Decagon: networking, data, ML serving, developer platform, and real‑time voice. We partner closely with product, data, and ML to deliver high‑scale, low‑latency systems with clear SLOs and great developer ergonomics.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build and evolve our internal developer platform—everything from CI/CD and release automation to observability standards, platform tooling, and developer workflows that remove friction.
This role is for someone who loves making other engineers faster: reducing build times, eliminating flaky tests, creating paved roads for service creation/deployment, and raising the bar on operability by default. Roles like this often combine “builder” energy with strong empathy for how engineers actually work.
What you'll do
Build the agentic developer platform
Build coding agents, harnesses, and cloud execution infrastructure.
Give agents safe access to code, tools, tests, and internal systems.
Create reusable primitives for autonomous software development.
Embed AI across the development lifecycle
Apply AI to planning, design, implementation, testing, and review.
Turn successful experiments into repeatable engineering workflows.
Build paved roads for agent-driven development across teams.
Accelerate code review with agents
Improve validation of human- and agent-generated changes.
Build agent-based testing, evaluation, and review systems.
Push correctness checks earlier in the development loop.
Make developer tooling agent-native
Design CI/CD, local development, and platform tooling for humans and agents.
Build APIs, CLIs, templates, and automation that agents can operate directly.
Remove friction from build, test, and release workflows.
Enable rapid internal tool building
Build frameworks and platforms for quickly creating internal tools, dashboards, and agents.
Give teams reusable primitives to build solutions for their own workflows.
Turn one-off internal tooling into scalable, shared capabilities.
Drive AI-powered developer productivity
Identify high-leverage engineering workflows to automate or augment with AI.
Own architecture, rollout, and adoption across engineering.
Measure success through faster iteration and greater engineer leverage.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
