## About the role

We’re looking for a founding engineer to build the system that runs industrial commerce. This is not about building features. You will be building the core system that real companies rely on to operate, software that directly impacts how quickly the physical world moves.

## What they're looking for

- 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
