Conversational AI platform for contact center automation and agent productivity
LivePerson operates a conversational AI platform handling nearly a billion monthly interactions across messaging, voice, and automation channels. The tech stack reflects a mature, distributed infrastructure (GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, Prometheus, Grafana) built on Java, Python, and Go, with Salesforce integration for CRM workflows. Active hiring skews senior (22 of 36 roles) across engineering and sales, while projects signal a pivot toward LLM-native tooling (copilot products, LLM platform, knowledge AI services) — indicating a shift from rules-based automation toward generative AI capabilities.
