What You’ll Do

Work directly with customers and rethink how their business operates using Avent

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
