Avoca is transforming how home service companies engage with their customers. Our AI-powered conversational agents handle every high-value inbound call, from booking jobs, qualifying leads, and driving higher revenue, all at a speed and consistency unmatched by human call centers.

We're a Series B startup backed by Kleiner Perkins, Meritech Capital, General Catalyst, and other top-tier investors, with $125M raised and a $1B valuation. We grew 10x in 2025 and have scaled to 170+ employees in under two years across our NYC headquarters and Santa Barbara office.

In a $1T+ market where 85% of missed calls go to competitors, we're building the category-defining platform for AI-driven customer engagement, serving the largest brands in home services. With high-energy, in-office teams in both locations, every hire here has an immediate and visible impact.

• Translate business requirements into technical architectures and deployment plans
• Identify patterns across deployments and feed insights back into the product roadmap
• Monitor and optimize product performance in production, working directly with LLMs and distributed systems
• Communicate complex technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Document solutions, best practices, and troubleshooting processes to raise the whole team's operational bar

• 2+ years of software engineering experience, preferably backend or systems-focused
• Proficiency in Python (Type Script/JavaScript a plus)
• Hands-on experience with microservices architectures, APIs, SQL/No
  
  SQL databases, networking, and distributed systems
• Familiarity with major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

  Strong communicator, able to work with both technical and non-technical, customer-facing stakeholders
