About the Role
You'll own the technical build for 1–3 Strategic Deals end-to-end, operating like the founding CTO of each. You'll work directly with the customer’s senior engineering and product leaders to figure out what they need for the deal to be successful. From there, you decide what Decagon should build, tech-lead a pod of engineers to ship it, and productionize it so it benefits every customer, not just this one. You're across every technical workstream on the deal, from infrastructure and the agent build to model evaluation, research, and the reliability work that makes it production-grade. You sit at the center of product strategy: your decisions shape not only each deployment, but also the feature set that gets reflected in the product itself.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical build end-to-end for a handful of Strategic Deals, from POC through close and into post-close stabilization
- Drive technical requirements directly with the customer’s engineering and product leaders, and build technical champions inside their organizations
- Identify technical risks early and de-risk them before they threaten the deal
- Dig past feature requests to the underlying problem, then scope solutions that generalize, turning bespoke deal requirements into durable improvements to the core Decagon product
- Tech-lead a pod of 1–3 Software Engineers per deal: set technical direction, own delivery, and mentor the engineers on your team
Requirements
- A strong engineering leader or ex-technical founder with 5+ years of industry experience in software engineering
- Strong appetite for customer-facing work
