About this role
Sales teams at construction supply distributors still spend huge parts of their day buried in email, spreadsheets, and legacy ERP systems. Ventura automates the repetitive low-value work so reps can focus on selling. Today, Ventura handles quoting and order entry. Over time, most operational work in this industry will be automated.
We’re looking for a founding engineer to join us full time in person in SF.
Swen previously bootstrapped and sold a company in this space in Switzerland.
