Creating better contact centres

Five9 is a global company with an Australian office in Melbourne. It builds software to help customer support contact centres to be more efficient by reducing time to answer, eliminating manual tasks, making it faster to handle inquiries, and eliminating unnecessary calls by providing information upfront.

It also helps companies provide "omnichannel" support across phone, email, text, and social media.

One of the main goals of the product is to give customer support agents all the tools they need to be efficient and productive. This includes things like unified communications, a desktop app, customer relationship management tools, and AI assistance.

The platform now operates at impressive scale, with 2,500+ contact centre customers worldwide, and 7+ billion minutes of call time logged through the platform.

Developing AI tools for agents, supervisors and managers

The company's vision for AI involves giving contact center agents, supervisors and managers user interfaces that guide and summarize their work, identify areas of coaching and support and automate repetitive interactions.

The team also wants to let contact centres create, deploy and train their own AI models.

Engineering culture

The engineering team at Five9 runs on agile and CI/CD, with engineers collaborating with Product Managers, Architects, and Testers to build the company's microservices platform.

Two of the company's most interesting technical areas include AI and VOIP. The Voice Clients team works with technologies like SIP, RTP, WebRTC, and VDI and builds telephony systems and real-time communications software.

Meanwhile, the AI team is exploring the field of Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and conversational interaction management, and uses AI speech tools like Google Speech, Dialogflow, IBM Watson and Amazon Lex.

Engineers are expected to take operational responsibility for services owned by the team, including potentially taking part in an on-call rotation.
