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.\nWe'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.\nIn 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.\nAbout the Role\nWe're looking for a software engineer who ships fast without dropping quality. You'll own features end-to-end with support from senior engineers, learn how AI systems behave in production, and see your work reach customers within days rather than quarters. The Bengaluru team is product engineering, so everything you build is customer-facing.\nWhat You'll Do\nDevelopment & Implementation - Build scalable backend services, APIs, and AI-powered features using TypeScript/Node.js, Python, and cloud platforms.\n\nCollaboration & Learning - Work closely with senior engineers, participate in code reviews, and contribute to technical and architecture discussions.\n\nProduct Integration - Partner with Product, Design, and Customer Success to translate requirements into robust, customer-facing solutions.\n\nSpecifically, you'll:\nBuild and ship features end-to-end, from backend services to customer-facing interfaces.\n\nWork on AI-powered workflows: prompt design, evaluation, and the systems that make LLMs reliable in production.\n\nBuild integrations with CRM systems, scheduling platforms, and third-party communication tools.\n\nFix real customer problems, often with a short loop between report and fix going live.\n\nWrite comprehensive tests, add monitoring, and take ownership of what you ship after it ships.\n\nParticipate in on-call rotation and incident response to ensure system reliability.\n\nTake loosely defined problems, ask the right questions, and drive them to done with minimal hand-holding.\n\nWork Environment & Schedule\nHybrid, based in Bengaluru - regular office presence expected for collaboration and team coordination.\n\nSome overlap with US business hours may be needed for client coordination and project work.\n\nWhat You'll Bring\n2+ years of software engineering experience, ideally full-stack, including at least 1 year in a fast-paced startup or growth-stage environment.\n\nStrong programming skills in modern JavaScript/TypeScript and Python, with backend development experience.\n\nHands-on experience with AWS or GCP and modern deployment practices.\n\nExperience building and maintaining RESTful APIs and understanding of service-oriented architectures.\n\nComfort working with SQL databases at scale.\n\nA track record of fast, high-quality execution - you move quickly and your work holds up.\n\nSelf-driven: you unblock yourself, chase down context, and don't need work broken into small pieces.\n\nComfort with ambiguity and changing requirements in a fast-moving startup.\n\nCuriosity about AI and LLMs - direct experience is a plus, appetite to learn is required.\n\nLow ego, high energy, and a bias toward shipping.\n\nBonus Points\nExperience with AI/ML technologies, LLMs, or conversational AI systems.\n\nBackground in B2B SaaS or enterprise software.\n\nPrevious startup experience or exposure to rapid scaling.\n\nContributions to open source or active developer community participation.\n\nExperience with real-time systems, or event-driven architectures.\n\nFamiliarity with Docker/containerization and orchestration tools.\n\nWhy Avoca\nCompensation in line with industry standards and above.\n\nDirect impact - your code powers thousands of businesses and millions of customer interactions.\n\nAccelerated learning - work on cutting-edge AI technology with experienced mentors.\n\nClear paths for advancement as the company and team scale.\n\nA fast-moving, collaborative culture built for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and impact.\n\nWhy Avoca\nAt Avoca, you’ll be part of a team that’s building a category-defining company at the center of a massive market opportunity. We’re a fast-moving, collaborative team with a culture designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and impact.\nAvoca provides equal employment opportunities to applicants and employees without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, or disability.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4794,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Commerce","Gift Cards & Loyalty Programs","Coupons, Deals & Cashbacks"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-15T18:45:19Z"}],"liveness":{"score":95,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.946,"p_room":1,"age_days":8,"expected_fill_days":135,"reasons":["conf:0","urgency","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-09-24T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/avoca-software-engineer-product","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/avoca-software-engineer-product.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-24T09:32:00Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
