• 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
