About the role
Sales teams at construction supply distributors still spend huge parts of their day buried in email, spreadsheets, and legacy ERP systems. Ventura automates the repetitive low-value work so reps can focus on selling. Today, Ventura handles quoting and order entry. Over time, most operational work in this industry will be automated.
We’re looking for a founding engineer to join us full time in person in SF.
Swen previously bootstrapped and sold a company in this space in Switzerland.\
Jack has spent his career in AI automation, and was founding engineer at Develop Health (0 → $7m ARR w/ 5 employees).

You’ll own problems end to end: talk to customers, understand how they work, decide what we should build, and then build it. You’ll work across customer-facing features, AI agents, integrations, and infrastructure. Along the way, you’ll improve the evals, tests, and tooling that make each new customer implementation faster and more reliable.
Ideal candidate:
- Full stack experience: NextJS, TypeScript, Python, Google Cloud
- Understands how to build production-ready agents: context engineering, tool design, evals, …
- Can talk directly with customers, ask good questions, and get to the root of their problems
- Ships fast without lowering the quality bar
- Stays on the bleeding edge of AI tools to increase leverage, without outsourcing their engineering judgment
- Likes owning the whole problem rather than working from a narrowly defined backlog
We fully support visa sponsorship and relocation to San Francisco. We’ll help with anything that prevents you from doing your best work.
