 Avy's mission is to empower humans to work more efficiently and effectively with each other and with technology in knowledge work positions. We believe that software that acts as your companion, looking out for your best interests and helping you level up at work in a trusted, secure way, will not only make the world more productive, but will improve quality of life for everyone it touches.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Avy was founded by a serial founder and former leader in the AI/ML group at Apple, has team members with multiple exits (including an IPO), and is backed by over $11M in pre-seed and seed funding to ensure we can execute at the highest level.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  The Opportunity:
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 As a
 <strong>
  Software Engineer at Avy
 </strong>
 , your job is to build great products that perform well and delight our users and customers.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Our product spans a range of technologies, from the latest in AI and ML models. to server and cloud-based applications and infrastructure, to applications that run directly on user devices. You will have the opportunity to be exposed to and learn new technologies continuously.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 We value excellence in engineering skill over precise knowledge of specific technologies. Fast learners are welcome. That said, you need the chops to be able to dive in deep: debugging issues, improving performance, and truly understanding the behavior of the software you are developing and shipping.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  What you'll do:
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 <ul>
  <li>
   <strong>
    Develop and ship features quickly
   </strong>
   by moving between multiple components and tech stacks to deliver end-to-end value.
  </li>
  <li>
   <strong>
    Combine the latest and greatest cutting-edge AI and engineering practices with proven engineering patterns
   </strong>
   to ensure reliability, scalability, testability, and maintainability
  </li>
  <li>
   <strong>
    Evaluate and adapt third-party tools, libraries and frameworks
   </strong>
   while maintaining deep understanding&mdash;no black box dependencies except where intentionally chosen
  </li>
  <li>
   <strong>
    Collaborate closely
   </strong>
   with product, design, and leadership to balance technical constraints with business goals and user needs
  </li>
  <li>
   <strong>
    Balance code clarity and architectural purity with velocity
   </strong>
   in the understanding that our product is rapidly evolving
  </li>
  <li>
   <strong>
    Optimize system performance
   </strong>
   across the entire stack, from model inference to distributed agent orchestration
  </li>
  <li>
   <strong>
    Promote effective engineering culture
   </strong>
   through rigorous testing, code reviews, and continuous integration
   <br/>
   <br/>
  </li>
 </ul>
 You might work on anything from prototyping a new multi-agent cloud system to troubleshooting a data race in server code to re-styling views in SwiftUI to optimizing a prompt for a local LLM.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  Avy is for you if:
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 <ul>
  <li>
   You lift others up while maintaining exceptionally high standards
  </li>
  <li>
   You're compassionate with people while being rigorous with ideas
  </li>
  <li>
   You think big, love crazy ideas, and ask "what would it take?" instead of saying why it's not possible
  </li>
  <li>
   You thrive in uncertainty and ambiguity because it means more opportunity to solve hard problems and push the boundaries of what's possible
  </li>
  <li>
   You are experienced and bring perspective, but know that the world is rapidly changing and that to succeed we must all do things we've never done before
  </li>
  <li>
   You naturally ask 'can we get 80% of the value with 20% of the effort?' but know when to invest heavily for strategic advantage
  </li>
  <li>
   You are driven to not just meet expectations, but to consistently redefine them. You set a high bar for yourself and inspire those around you to do the same.
  </li>
  <li>
   You balance craftsman pride with the wisdom to ship fast and iterate
  </li>
  <li>
   You see failures as learning opportunities that accelerate our progress
   <br/>
   <br/>
  </li>
 </ul>
 <strong>
  You won't be happy at Avy if:
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 <ul>
  <li>
   You're not looking to join a team competing in a highly competitive market. We aspire to be sustainably productive and are intentional in rest and relaxation, but the pace is intense.
  </li>
  <li>
   You let your exceptional talent bring you exceptional ego. We're all smart and talented, and we don't like jerks.
   <br/>
   <br/>
  </li>
 </ul>
