## About the role

We’re looking for a forward deployed engineer to bring Avent into the real world. You’ll work directly with customers, understand how their business actually runs, and turn that into working systems. This is where the product meets reality.

## What they're looking for

- Work directly with customers and rethink how their business operates using Avent
- Understand workflows, constraints, and edge cases, then build systems that actually work inside them
- Write code, integrate systems, and make everything feel seamless in real time
- Own deployments end-to-end and get customers live
- 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
