Senior Agent Architect

Parloa’s mission is to make every customer conversation feel effortless for both customers and the companies serving them. As agentic AI accelerates, Parloans are shaping the foundation of a new era in customer experience — one where customer support is no longer transactions, but meaningful exchanges. It is not just a vision; Parloa has powered over ONE BILLION interactions between global enterprise brands and their customers, with companies like Booking.com, Allianz, SAP, BarmeniaGothaer and TUI already deploying Parloa at scale.

As a Senior Agent Architect at Parloa, you will play a key role in transforming customer service with AI Agents. In this customer-facing role, you will support the implementation of Parloa's solutions, enhancing customer experiences for clients and partners.

Using your expertise in Large Language Models (LLMs), Prompt Engineering, NLP & NLU conversational design, and integration platforms, you will craft effective AI workflows and build connections to enterprise systems and ensure quality, performance, and end-to-end operational readiness.

You will design, prototype, and validate conversational solutions for AI agent deployments, including the integration layer that connects Parloa's platform to customers' existing technology stacks, and guide customers and partners in maximising the value of Parloa's AI solutions.

This is your opportunity to architect and deliver cutting-edge AI agent solutions while influencing how enterprise customer service evolves in the age of generative AI.

We’re at the beginning of a new era in customer experience, one where AI doesn’t just respond, but understands, reasons, and takes action. We’re building agentic AI that enterprises trust with their most important customer moments: complex questions, high volumes, real stakes. When millions of people reach out to a brand, those interactions aren’t just support tickets; they’re defining experiences. We’re here to raise the standard: making every conversation seamless, intelligent, and genuinely helpful. If you care about shaping how businesses and customers connect at scale—and want your work to matter in real, everyday moments—this is where you do it.

At Parloa, ownership isn’t a buzzword; it means being accountable for outcomes, not just tasks. We operate in a category that’s evolving fast, where the bar is high, and the problems are complex. We hire people who think in solutions, communicate with clarity, and follow through. People who are comfortable making decisions, taking responsibility, and raising the standard for themselves and those around them.

We’ve grown beyond the earliest startup phase, but we’ve kept the intensity: fast execution, direct feedback, and a strong expectation to contribute meaningfully from day one.

Backed by leading global investors like General Catalyst, EQT Ventures, and Altimeter Capital, we’re scaling with a clear ambition: to become the global category leader in enterprise-grade conversational AI.
