tl;dr: wee are looking for a world-class full-stack/backend engineer who loves simplifying complex systems, unifying fragmented data, and building high-scale systems. Learn more about us here (link). Must be a new grad, graduating in winter 2025 or spring 2026.

Why join us?

• Early-stage, yet de-risked: we are a rare combo of being early stage (high upside) but lower risk (2XX+ paying customers, $Xm+ recurring revenue, cash-flow positive for over a year, hockey-stick growth). You get the benefits of an early stage startup without the risk youll face at almost any other startup. Youll have a ton of impact, work directly with our customers, and get to work on interesting technical challenges you wont see at bigger companies. Although were early stage, weve eliminated key strategic risks youll face at other startups. Like an unproven product, lack of market validation, lack of revenue, over-reliance on VC funding, co-founder disputes. Were all young and hungry. Our team is fully in-person, tenacious, and committed - most of us moved to SF from far away (Canada, SoCal, Texas, Virginia) specifically to build Agave from the ground up.
• Team is technical, diverse, young: youll work with a formidable founding team thats experienced, intense, and ambitious. Weve worked together for 10 years, first at a startup that Amazon acquired, then at Amazon, and now at Agave. Youll learn a ton while having outsized ownership. Youll have a front-row seat to the good and bad of building a company from the ground up. Were also technical - almost 90% of our team have either majored in CS, worked as full-time devs, and/or worked in technical roles at startups and larger tech companies for 5+ years before moving into business roles at Agave.
• Huge opportunity without direct competition: startups are incredibly hard, so you want to join one that has a unique advantage. You dont want to spend years of your life on a company in a saturated market with tons of competition. Were seizing an opportunity thats massive (Construction is the worlds third-largest industry) but also overlooked by most people in startup land. Were backed by world-class investors (Accel, YC) and Construction insiders (Procore and Autodesk executives, founders of PlanGrid).

Qualifications

• Exceptional college grads with strong intern/co-op experience, ideally from a top undergraduate university
• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science
• Self-motivated, high ownership, low ego; desire to work on a fast-paced, intense, fun team. Passion for building a world-class engineering culture.
• Pumped to work in-person with us in SF 5 days/week.
• No need to have prior experience with our tech stack or at a B2B SaaS/API company

Technical challenges

• Unification: unifying dozens-to-hundreds of fragmented systems under a single standard that we define, covering data objects, data models, authentication, account-linking UX, and features like filters and pagination.
• On-prem: interfacing with on-prem systems (SQL-based, DLL-based, API-based) securely and reliably, supporting real-time communication and webhooks when they do not exist.
• Scale & speed: handling millions of API requests daily, building efficient data storage and caching layers, shipping code daily and iterating based on customer feedback.
• Operational excellence: building a reliable API layer on top of legacy systems, expanding integrations while increasing development velocity with scalable testing frameworks.
• Mix of back-end and front-end: building front-end apps that exercise our own APIs to improve API quality and usability.
• Variety: each new integration is unique, requiring deep system research and careful design.

Tech stack

• TypeScript, React, Redis, Postgres, AWS - CDK, EC2
