About the role

AI Acceleration Engineer at Decagon, focused on building and extending internal tooling, automations, and AI-powered systems to improve finance, legal, people, and recruiting workflows; hands-on technical role owning projects end-to-end and driving adoption across the organization.

Responsibilities

  • Own projects end to end, from requirements gathering and solution design through development, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance.
  • Build and maintain the web applications and integrations internal teams run on, from existing systems such as our internal contract and revenue platform to new tools you design and stand up from scratch.
  • Work with stakeholders across Finance, Accounting, Legal, People, and Recruiting to surface new use cases and areas to automate, and determine whether each calls for a custom build, an AI vendor, or a hybrid approach.
  • Take on major workstreams as they come up: billing, revenue recognition, usage data ingestion, and reconciliation across our internal data, the ERP, and Salesforce.
  • Build the interfaces that let others work with our systems through AI, including MCP servers, skills, and agent-facing tooling, and enable power users across the business to handle the simpler automations themselves.
  • Measure and communicate impact back to leadership: time saved, cost reduced, errors eliminated.

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of hands-on experience building internal tools, systems, and automations for business teams (internal tooling, business systems, and/or revenue and finance operations).
  • Experience owning projects across the full lifecycle (requirements gathering through deployment and ongoing maintenance).
  • Technical ability to build production-quality internal tools; not seeking a product engineering role; focus on solving business problems.
  • Strong generalist with ability to adapt to different domains (e.g., billing one quarter, recruiting workflow next).
  • Sound data-flow and systems design instincts; fundamentals prioritized over familiarity with specific tools.
  • Knowledge of when to apply AI/agentic versus deterministic pipelines.
  • Hands-on experience with AI-native coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) and shipping production solutions; coding experience preferred (Python, TypeScript, or JavaScript; API integration; deployment).
  • Ability to build trust with Finance, Accounting, Legal, and People; capable of driving complex projects under ambiguity without formal authority.
