About the Team 
The AI Platform team builds the foundational systems that enable every engineer at Decagon to build with AI.
Our users are both engineers and coding agents. We build the execution environments, agent harnesses, evaluation systems, developer tools, and shared abstractions they use to plan, write, test, review, and ship production software.
We sit within Infrastructure and work closely with product, ML, data, and security teams. Our goal is to turn rapidly evolving agent capabilities into reliable, secure platforms that materially change how software gets built at Decagon.

About the Role 
We’re looking for an experienced software engineer to help build Decagon’s AI-native developer platform.
You’ll work at the intersection of distributed systems, developer tooling, and applied AI. You will experiment with new agentic workflows, identify where they create real leverage, and turn the best ideas into dependable systems used across the engineering organization.
This is a highly product-oriented platform role. You’ll work directly with engineers to understand how they build software, find high-value opportunities for automation, and own solutions from architecture and implementation through rollout, adoption, and production operation.
A few areas you may work on:
- Agent execution: Build harnesses, orchestration systems, and isolated environments where coding agents can safely execute long-running tasks.

- Tools and context: Give agents secure, observable access to codebases,…
