Full Job Description

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 Security Engineering team at Decagon protects the platform that powers the most advanced conversational AI agents for enterprise customers across voice, chat, email, and SMS. We build the security foundations that enable Decagon's AI agents to handle sensitive customer data with complete trust while defending against sophisticated, AI-enabled threats at massive scale. This role sits at the intersection of Security and Infrastructure. Like the rest of our Infrastructure org, we believe the best security comes from paved paths, strong SLAs, and high-quality systems that other engineers can rely on by default. Our mission is to secure magical support experiences, ensuring that AI agents and human agents can collaborate safely to help users resolve their issues while maintaining the highest standards of security and privacy. ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring our founding Platform Engineer, Security to design, build, and operate the security infrastructure that powers Decagon's AI platform.
