Job description

About Giga

Giga has recently raised a $61M Series A and is working with Fortune 500 customers to deploy the next generation of customer experience – real‑time AI agents that can understand emotion, resolve issues instantly, and scale across the world’s largest enterprises.

Industry leaders like DoorDash trust Giga with their most complex support and operations workflows across voice, chat and email, in high‑stakes regulated environments where accuracy and compliance matter. We’re at an exciting inflection point.

While we’ve found real commercial success, our ambitions are larger: to become the go‑to AI platform for all enterprise automation, powered by our voice superintelligence. The work affects millions of people every day, and our team has the autonomy to make true impact – with brilliant founders, a clear path forward, and the kind of momentum that defines generational companies.

If being part of that resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you!

Who You Are / Must‑Haves:

• Know the basics: Understanding of React, Python, tool calls, APIs, etc.

• Interpersonal Acumen: Able to solve problems in a people‑centric manner and communicate effectively, with experience/interest in customer‑facing roles.

• Entrepreneurial: Preference for candidates with aspirations who want to be founders or leaders; ability to context switch constantly and rapidly; high bar for quality work.

• Gritty: Capable of working long productive hours, customer focused, very high attention to detail, and obsession to deliver high‑quality work.

• Coachable: Be able to take in feedback and adapt at a quick pace.

• Experience: 1+ years of experience; computer science, analytics, or consultant background strongly preferred.
