Senior Platform Engineer

About Agaton

Agaton is the leading deep voice AI platform for enterprise sales and customer service teams. Our proprietary technology analyses every customer conversation, not just what's said but how it's said, surfacing the buying signals, unmet needs and churn risks in calls companies already make. We turn that into better conversations, making both human and AI agents measurably stronger, so teams drive more sales, stronger retention and higher quality.

Founded in 2024 by Andreas Kullberg and John Kristensen, Agaton has offices in Stockholm and New York, serving global brands such as Telenor, Axo Group, Telia, AIG and Tele2. The Agaton team previously held key positions at Google, Spotify, Salesforce, Slack and Tink.

Agaton is backed by Inception Fund, Alstin Capital and Sequoia Capital Scout Fund, alongside angels including Silo AI founder Peter Sarlin, HubSpot's Kieran Flanagan and King co-founder Sebastian Knutsson.

We're a high-growth, talent-dense team of machine learning engineers, software developers, and designers based in Stockholm, expanding rapidly into new markets globally. Backed by some of the best angel investors in the world, our team brings experience from industry champions like Tink, Spotify, Shopify, Zettle by PayPal, Sana, and EF.

We're working on something that will be absolutely huge - a new category leader in AI that's solving an age-old, trillion-dollar problem for businesses globally. This is your chance to be part of something generation-defining.
