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 Agent Orchestration team builds the core execution layer that powers every agent interaction. This includes the systems responsible for coordinating model reasoning, evaluating agent behavior, and ensuring that agents behave reliably in real customer environments.
We focus on correctness, reliability, and speed. Our work shapes how Decagon agents plan, decide, and take actions across millions of interactions.

In this role, you will
Build the execution engine that powers intelligent agents at scale
Design systems that coordinate model reasoning and actions while staying fast and correct
Improve reliability through better testing, observability, and safeguards
Build foundations that help teams evaluate and improve agent behavior safely and continuously
Your background looks something like this
