About this role
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
