About Avoca

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 100+ 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.

  • Collaborate with Product, Engineering, AI Enablement, RevOps, and customer teams to unblock deals and share field insights.
  • Ensure smooth handoffs from pre-sales to post-sales and contribute to pre-sales playbooks, demos, and technical messaging.
What You'll Bring
  • 4+ years of experience in a Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Solutions Consultant, or similar pre-sales technical role in B2B SaaS
  • Comfortable leading technical conversations with mid-market and enterprise customers across complex sales cycles
  • Strong understanding of SaaS architectures, APIs, and integrations
  • Able to clearly explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Trusted, credible, and customer-oriented in high-stakes sales environments
  • Comfortable managing multiple deals and stakeholders simultaneously
  • Experience supporting enterprise or technically complex sales motions
  • Familiarity with AI-powered products, conversational AI platforms, or data-driven systems
  • Background in implementations, technical program management, customer onboarding, or post-sale handoffs
  • Familiarity with call center software, communications platforms, or CRM integrations
Who You Are
  • Self-motivated, entrepreneurial, and comfortable operating in fast-moving, high-growth environments.
  • Thrives on owning processes end-to-end and balancing multiple initiatives simultaneously.
  • Autonomous, self-directed, and comfortable working with ambiguity.
  • A proactive and effective communicator.
