Please state the location and include REMOTE for remote work, REMOTE (US) or similar if the country is restricted, and ONSITE when remote work is not an option.

Please only post if you personally are part of the hiring company—no recruiting firms or job boards. One post per company. If it isn't a household name, explain what your company does.

Please only post if you are actively filling a position and are committed to responding to applicants.

Commenters: please don't reply to job posts to complain about something. It's off topic here.

Readers: please only email if you are personally interested in the job.

Avantos.ai | Frontend Eng | Full-time | Remote (USA)

Series A AI Fintech Startup headquartered in NYC. If you’re outside of NYC, we'd like you to make quarterly visits and are happy to support higher-frequency visits.

You'll get a sense of what we're building during the coding challenge, which you can start by sending a POST request to:

https://apply-to-avantos.dev-sandbox.workload.avantos-ai.net

Payload should be this:

{"email": "<your-email>"}

You'll need to make sure the user agent isn't something too bot-seeming or WAF will block you. (Sorry we're a startup no time to fix.) This user agent works: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/133.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Hi Matt,

Asking for a take-home challenge is a big ask without any form of human interaction first. Are you open to me asking a few questions over email or a video chat so I can gauge if your company would be a good fit for me?

The responses to the POST thing illustrate why it's a good filter :)

weird experience, no feedback, no responses, just a rejection letter after you complete a task for them. Feels like a free labor for their company

spent several hours on their task just to be denied without any feedback or communication
