About Avoca

Avoca is transforming how home service companies engage with their customers. Our AI-powered conversational agents handle every high-value inbound call, including booking jobs, qualifying leads, and driving higher revenue—all at a speed and consistency unmatched by human call centers.

We’ve expanded to 85 employees in under two years, backed by a high-energy, in-office culture in NYC. In a $500B+ market where missed calls mean lost business, we’re building the category-defining platform for AI-driven customer engagement.

We’re serving the largest brands in home services, and grew 10x in 2025. With a high-performance, in-office team in NYC, we’re moving fast to capture a massive, underserved market where 85% of missed calls go to competitors. Every hire here has an immediate and visible impact.

About the Role

We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer Intern to work directly alongside our customer-facing engineering team as we deploy AI solutions in the field.

This is a hands-on internship where you'll get real exposure to how conversational AI is built, configured, and launched inside some of the largest home service companies in the country. You'll work closely with engineers and customers, help support live deployments, and contribute directly to the systems that power Avoca's product.

If you're a builder who wants to learn fast and see your work in production, this is the role.

What You’ll Do

  • Support the Forward Deployed Engineering team in configuring and launching AI solutions for customers

  • Help build and maintain integrations, APIs, and deployment tooling

  • Assist in translating customer workflows and business requirements into technical solutions

  • Document deployment patterns and flag recurring issues back to the product and engineering team

  • Collaborate across engineering and customer-facing teams in a fast-moving, in-office environment

What You'll Bring

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field

  • Foundational experience with Python and/or JavaScript through coursework, personal projects, or internships

  • Curiosity about AI, LLMs, and conversational systems

  • Strong communicator who is comfortable working with both technical and non-technical teammates

  • Low ego, eager to learn, and energized by a fast-paced environment

  • Bonus: any experience with APIs, cloud platforms, prompt engineering, or AI tools

  • Availability to work in person with us in NYC

Why Avoca

At Avoca, you’ll be part of a team that’s building a category-defining company at the center of a massive market opportunity. We’re a fast-moving, collaborative team with a culture designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and impact.
