About the role
- tl;dr: Fresh off a $15M Series A led by Accel (total funding now $20M+), Agave is profitable, growing fast, and scaling the team.
- Learn more about us here (link https://www.figma.com/slides/nlpdpvRj3iS2qbPXqkMQz0/Agave--Candidate-Pitch-Deck?node-id=5-610&t=jDDiUrnFNhn2TWMm-1).
- We have 550+ customers and have been profitable & cashflow positive for over two years.
Responsibilities
- Most of us moved to SF from far away (Canada, SoCal, Texas, Virginia) specifically to build Agave from the ground up.
- For example, when adding filters, we have to research each system we support (and plan to support) and create a generic, system-agnostic solution.
- For our products that we power with our own API (e.g. Analytics), we need to store and retrieve large amounts of data in an efficient way, building elegant caching layers to reduce latency.
- We've built Agave in-person since day 1, and will maintain an in-person culture in San Francisco going forward for candidates in the Bay Area.
- We believe building in-person is a huge strategic advantage, and we hope you'll join us.
Requirements
- Back-end/full-stack engineer, ideally with 1-4 years experience (we're open to exceptional college grads with strong intern/co-op experience).
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS).
- No need to have: prior experience with our tech stack or at B2B SaaS/API company
- On-prem: we're connecting with many types of on-prem systems (SQL-based, DLL-based, API-based), many built 20-40 years ago.
- prior experience with our tech stack or at B2B SaaS/API company
- >3 years of experience:
- >3 years of experience: Customer Needs Problem (50min): we'll ask you to design a feature to meet a customer need based on one of our actual application components.
- <3 years of experience: Behavioral Interview (50 min): we'll ask you a series of behavioral interview questions to understand how you approach problems, collaborate, and communicate.
Nice to have
- breakfast and dinner stipends through DoorDash.
- Plus a kitchen stocked with coffee, snacks, drinks, and more.
Compensation
- we offer annual performance bonuses when we hit company growth goals, which are a % of your base salary.
- 401k: we match 100% of your contributions, up to 4% of annual salary.

- Relocation: sizable relocation bonus for folks currently located outside of the Bay Area, and a bonus for anyone (even within the Bay Area) who moves within a 15-minute walk of our office.
- Commuter benefits: employees can make pre-tax contributions toward commuting costs, and we'll cover the full cost of a Muni pass for those using public transit.
- Gym: on-site gym with Peloton, squat rack, Tempo, Yoga setup, and more.
Company info
- you'll work with a formidable founding team that's experienced, intense, and ambitious.
- The cofounders worked together for 10 years, first at a startup that Amazon acquired, then at Amazon, and now at Agave.
- You'll learn a ton while having outsized ownership.
- You'll have a front-row seat to the good and bad of building a company from the ground up.
- startups are incredibly hard, so you want to join one that has a unique advantage.
- You don't want to spend years of your life on a company in a saturated market with tons of competition.
- We're seizing an opportunity that's massive (Construction is the world's third-largest industry) but also overlooked by most people in startup land.
- Most who can solve this problem aren't aware it exists or are too distracted by tech trends (blockchain, metaverse, LLMs, etc.) to notice.
- These talented folks get coaxed into building products that seem cool early on, but don't solve durable problems or aren't differentiated enough against their many competitors to be sustainable (e.g. lots of AI products), so they end-up not going anywhere or stagnating without a clear plan to grow profitably.
- As a result, we have a multi-year head start against potential competitors, increasing our odds of success significantly.
- We're also backed by world-class investors (Accel, YC) and Construction insiders (Procore and Autodesk executives, founders of the largest construction tech companies like PlanGrid).
- Our team is small, scrappy, and high-caliber, and we're looking for the next wave of builders who will help take Agave from breakout startup to category-defining company.
- Early-stage, yet de-risked: we are a rare combo of being early stage (high upside) but lower risk (thousands of contractors using us, profitable + cash-flow positive for over a year, hockey-stick growth).
Visa & Work Authorization
- we sponsor Visas (H1B, TN, etc.) for candidates who are a good fit!
