Founding Engineer

Build the core intelligence layer that powers quoting, procurement, and decision-making across a $2T industrial network

Design and ship systems that reason over messy real-world data and turn it into reliable actions

Define the abstractions and primitives that FDEs use to deploy Avent across the industry

Own critical parts of the system end-to-end and shape how it evolves as it scales

High ownership — you take direction, not instructions, and see things through to completion

Systems thinker — you understand how complex, imperfect systems actually work and build accordingly

Real-world builder — you optimize for what works for the customer, not what feels correct in theory

Speed with judgment — you can move fast without losing sight of where the system needs to go

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

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.
