Software Engineer - Backend

Ask any employee to explain their benefits, and you'll likely get a confused shrug. Ask any HR leader if their benefits investment is working, and you'll get an honest "I don't know." For employees, benefits are confusing and overwhelming. For HR and finance leaders, benefits are the second-largest expense, but they lack the visibility to know what's working and what's wasted.

At Avante, we're changing that. We're the first AI-native benefits platform built to turn benefits complexity into clarity. For employees, Avante acts like a personal guide, making benefits simple to understand and use. For leaders, Avante unifies fragmented data and delivers real-time insights so they can improve programs, control costs, and prove ROI.

We're based in Seattle and work 4 days a week in the office (one day remote), we’re growing quickly, and are looking for a backend-focused Software Engineer to join our team and help build the services and data systems that power our platform. You'll spend most of your time writing production code in TypeScript, working with our database layer, and increasingly contributing to our applied AI capabilities—building the infrastructure that makes our AI features reliable and useful in production.
