About Us

At Quantagonia, our founders have built and scaled successful companies, including achieving Unicorn status. But throughout their journey, they saw a recurring problem: businesses struggle to solve their most pressing planning challenges because optimization has always been too complex and out of reach.

That’s why we created DecisionAI —the first-ever platform to make AI-powered optimization accessible to everyone. For the first time, business users can solve critical planning challenges without needing deep expertise. Whether it’s helping logistics companies reduce kilometers and costs, enabling manufacturers to optimize production processes, or supporting teams in solving intricate scheduling challenges, DecisionAI empowers businesses to make smarter decisions, faster—and opens entirely new possibilities for innovation.

We\'re looking for a dedicated and passionate machine learning software engineer. This is your opportunity to join our dynamic team and make a difference in a fast-paced startup focused on bringing advanced optimization and AI to the world. If you enjoy working on challenging problems and taking responsibility, you\'re exactly who we\'re looking for!
