Join Ventus AI
We're building autonomous AI workers to transform global industries. Join us.
Forward Deployed Engineer
About Ventus AI
Ventus AI builds computer-using agents — autonomous AI workers that interact with emails, portals, and documents just like a human would. These agents execute real operational tasks in complex industries—such as healthcare, insurance, and logistics—from parsing medical records and processing claims to submitting invoices and syncing systems—without relying on APIs. We’re deployed at market-leading enterprises and scaling fast.
Backed by top investors including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), WndrCo, and Samsung, we’re on a mission to transform how global industries operate.
The Role
This is a customer-embedded role where you’ll own technical delivery from end to end. You’ll work directly with operations leaders to understand complex workflows, translate them into reliable AI behaviors, and deploy computer-using agents that perform real work in production environments. It’s a rare mix of field work, engineering, and problem-solving in the wild.
What You’ll Do
- Partner with customers to deeply understand operational workflows and identify high-leverage automation opportunities.
- Write robust, production-grade prompts and logic for agents to reason and act across unstructured interfaces (emails, portals, documents).
- Own delivery: Deploy, refine, and expand automation across customer environments.
- Diagnose and solve complex failure modes — from ambiguous data to UI edge cases — and collaborate with applied research to improve agent capabilities.
Why This Role Is Special
- Early-stage with real traction – You’ll be joining a growing team with strong customer demand and real deployments across the U.S.
- Built for hybrids – Ideal if you have both technical and business instincts: maybe you have a CS degree and have worked in consulting or sales, or a business degree but have built tech on the side.
- Product + delivery ownership – You’ll shape how our agents behave, where they go next, and how we evolve the product.
- Startup operator’s training ground – You’ll touch product, delivery, and customer success — ideal if you’re aiming to build your own startup later.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong Python skills; capable of building robust, testable systems.
- Experience reasoning through messy business processes and designing logic or rules to automate them.
- Clear communicator who can work directly with customers and distill their needs into structured implementations.
- Fast learner who thrives in ambiguity and wants to ship real impact.
- No traditional CS background required — but you must be fluent in making software do things reliably.
Founding Software Engineer
About Ventus AI
Ventus AI builds computer-using agents — autonomous AI workers that operate software like humans do: reading emails, navigating portals, entering data, and syncing systems without APIs. We’re automating real workflows in complex industries like healthcare, insurance, and logistics — from claims processing and scheduling to billing and compliance — and already live at major enterprises across the U.S.
Backed by a16z and built by serial founders, we’re turning agentic AI into infrastructure for global operations.
The Role
We’re looking for a Founding Software Engineer to help us scale the core engine behind our AI agents. This is not an experimental R&D job — you’ll be building and maintaining robust production systems that interface with real-world environments full of edge cases, ambiguity, and operational complexity.
You’ll work closely with our co-founders to set technical direction, establish engineering best practices, and ship fast — all while having the opportunity to shape the company’s culture, product, and future.
You will get a front row seat in customers’ interactions - this is critical if you want to create your own venture in the future.
What You’ll Do
- Design, build, and maintain mission-critical infrastructure for agent orchestration, memory, logging, security, and observability.
- Write production-grade Python (and possibly some TypeScript) to power low-latency, fault-tolerant, agentic workflows.
- Establish testing, CI/CD, and monitoring pipelines from scratch.
- Own system reliability: debugging flakiness, edge cases, and performance bottlenecks.
- Collaborate with product, research, and field teams to bring new capabilities to life.
- Make key architectural and technical decisions that will shape our core systems.
You Might Be a Fit If You…
- Have built and maintained production systems end-to-end — from idea to deploy to debug to refactor.
- Thrive in ambiguous, high-autonomy environments where you’re trusted to figure things out.
- Have deep comfort with Python (async, testing, deployment) and modern dev tooling.
- Understand the trade-offs in system design and can keep things simple without being fragile.
- Have a founder mindset: ownership, urgency, and comfort with chaos.
- Are excited by the idea of building agents that operate on messy real-world software instead of APIs.
Bonus Points For
- Experience with agentic frameworks, browser automation, or secure data processing.
- Exposure to healthcare, insurance, logistics, financial services, or other ops-heavy domains.
- Open-source contributions or prior startup/founding experience.
Why Join Us
- Real product, real customers — not just a demo.
- Lucrative equity — you’ll be early enough to have meaningful upside.
- Zero bureaucracy — just you, the code, and the customer.
- Explosive growth — opportunity to lead, build, and learn faster than anywhere else.
We believe the future of work involves fewer humans clicking buttons. If you’ve built real systems and want to build something meaningful, come do it with us.
