Avy | Staff Engineer / Startup Polyglot Engineer
Location: San Francisco Type: Onsite (Hybrid) Employment: Full-Time
About Avy: https://www.avy.app
We are an early-stage, well-funded startup making humans and computers work together more efficiently. We have an experienced team from Apple AIML and other great companies.
We're looking for a polyglot "startup engineer" at the Staff+ level who can help with the end-to-end implementation of new features and capabilities. This role requires someone who can move between different components, be creative, be flexible, take ownership, and get things done. We have a complex, challenging product, but one that's amazing to work on and that will soon change how people think about working with each other and with AI.
About the Role
You'll enjoy this role if:
- You like going 0 to 1 with high ownership: moving features and products from idea on a napkin, to prototype, to engineering UI, to shipped and polished product
- You are innovative, get satisfaction out of learning new things, and thrive in an environment of uncertainty and opportunity
Requirements
To succeed, you should:
- Have the wisdom to know when to take the fast route vs when to step back and clean up your mess
- Be capable and excel on your own, but be humble and communicate well with others as projects require more collaboration
- Be versed across many programming languages (e.g. from C++/Java/Swift to Go to JavaScript or Python)
- Have worked on many types of projects and software -- have you built servers, written games, shipped native apps, and vibe-coded (kidding) web apps? If so, you're a fit.
- Be versatile and work both high level and low level, on old tech and new. Have you both prompt-engineered an LLM AND tweaked the code that decodes tokens in your own local LLM runner? If so, you're a fit.
