About the role

from listing

We’re looking for a forward deployed engineer to bring Avent into the real world.

You’ll work directly with customers, understand how their business actually runs, and turn that into working systems. This is where the product meets reality.

What you’ll do

  • Work directly with customers and rethink how their business operates using Avent
  • Understand workflows, constraints, and edge cases, then build systems that actually work inside them
  • Write code, integrate systems, and make everything feel seamless in real time
  • Own deployments end-to-end and get customers live

What we’re looking for

  • You understand businesses deeply and show up to conversations as a peer, not someone asking basic questions
  • You take ownership and move fast without waiting for instructions
  • You care about details, how things look, feel, and land in front of a customer
  • You build things that work in the real world, not just in theory

Tech we use: Next.js, TypeScript, Python (FastAPI), PostgreSQL

Our culture

  • We own outcomes, not tasks

We take direction, not instructions. We run with things and see them through.

  • Speed is our advantage

We move fast, close loops, and prioritize execution over perfection.

  • We care about impact, not optics

We’re here to build something real. Decisions are driven by what works, not how it looks.

  • We’re in this together

We work in person in San Francisco. Some days are long, some aren’t, but everyone here cares deeply about what we’re building and shows up accordingly.

Compensation

  • Competitive salary + meaningful equity
  • We remove anything that slows you down, relocation, tools, and whatever you need to do great work
  • You’ll be part of a small team building something massive, take on responsibility far earlier than you should, and have the most fun along the way
