More about the teams hiring New Grads

Agent Engineering

The Agent Engineering team at Decagon deploys mission-critical AI agents to our customers that impact millions of users and directly drive Decagon’s growth. You will build on our industry-leading AI agent platform, collaborate directly with customers and use your own creativity to devise long-term, scalable solutions.

Our mission is to deliver magical support experiences — AI agents working alongside human agents to help users resolve their issues.

Agent Orchestration

The Agent Orchestration team builds the runtime and model orchestration layer that powers Decagon’s agents in production. This is the orchestration layer that turns workflows, tools and guardrails into a reliable, low-latency, and delightful experience for end users.

Enterprise Product

The Enterprise Product team creates the platform that customers use to build, maintain, and improve their AI agents. We transform complex engineering work into intuitive self-serve products, making sophisticated AI capabilities accessible to both technical and non-technical Customer Experience teams. This team is core to Decagon’s ability to scale: the tools you build directly support agents for all our customers, each with unique workflows, data, and requirements.

Infrastructure

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.
