You will collaborate closely with product managers, data scientists, and other engineers to define requirements and implement solutions that enhance the customer experience. Your role will also involve mentoring junior engineers, sharing your knowledge, and helping them grow in their careers.
You will be responsible for conducting code reviews, ensuring best practices are followed, and contributing to the overall architecture of the systems you work on. Your contributions will directly impact how Decagon's AI agents interact with customers, making their experiences more personalized and satisfying.
