What Agave does
We're building the financial ops platform for construction, a $12T global industry run by software built 20-40 years ago, much of it on-prem with no APIs and no documentation. We spent 3 years building the rails to read and write across those systems, and we use them to deploy AI for invoicing, expenses, compliance, billing, and more. We have 500+ customers and have been profitable & cashflow positive for over two years. We're backed by Accel and Y Combinator, with investors from Procore, Autodesk, and Plaid. Our three co-founders have worked together for 12+ years, across Graphiq (acquired by Amazon in 2017) and Amazon.

What the role involves
NOTE: this role has a start date in Q2 2026. tl;dr: You will work with our CEO/co-founder to grow Agave from $Xm ARR to $XXm ARR+. Ideally, you are a hungry, scrappy, and energetic AE, pumped to bet on a career-defining role at a fast-growing, early-stage startup. Min. 2+ YoE closing deals in a quota-carrying role at a b2b SaaS company, ideally with experience selling into construction. Why are we hiring this role? We’ve made a ton of progress (4XX+ customers, $Xm ARR, profitable & cash-flow positive for 2yr+). Now, we’re seeking an additional AE to help us grow even faster. You’ll own the day to day execution of our full sales cycle while working with our CEO/co-founder on all aspects of revenue - from defining ICPs and GTM strategy, to pricing details and contract terms. You’ll be the expert on our customers’ needs - our CTO will ask for your input when planning sprints and new features. We expect you to ramp fast since you’re stepping-into a sales motion that’s working well. You’ll have an existing pipeline, refined collateral, meeting templates, a tidy CRM, and SMEs to run demos and answer domain-specific nuances. You’ll have strong inbound and referrals, which you’ll continue to convert at a high rate. You’ll build our outbound motion as we expand our product and enter new segments in construction. To do all of this, you will need to be unique. While typical AEs execute existing playbooks, you will need to write a better one. You are not a coin-operated salesperson looking for a 9-to-5. You are a hungry, scrappy, and energetic AE, pumped to bet on a career-defining role at a fast-growing, early-stage startup. Your potential for impact will extend far beyond the ARR you close. Compensation We want AEs eager to bet on themselves and the company, motivated by the upside in the role. Compensation shown consists of base + commission (OTE), with meaningful equity. Nothing makes our founders happier than writing fat commission checks for well-qualified customers we retain. We ring gongs for each deal. Why join us? 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). You get the benefits of an early stage startup without the risk you’ll have at almost any other startup. You’ll have a ton of impact, work directly with our customers, and get to work on interesting technical challenges you won’t see at bigger companies. Although we’re early stage, we’ve eliminated key strategic risks you’ll face at other startups. Like an unproven product, lack of market validation, lack of revenue, over-reliance on VC funding, co-founder disputes. We’re 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: 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. Huge opportunity without direct competition: 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
What the role involves
tl;dr we’re hiring a smart generalist to become an expert on our product and lead customer implementations. You’ll guide customers through their Agave journey. This is a unique opportunity to learn a complex b2b product, build long-term relationships with customers, drive sales growth, work closely with engineers, and join a fast-growing team going from $Xm to $XXm in revenue. You will report directly to our co-founder/CPO. Note: no need to have construction/finance experience. No need to have technical skills, although clear ability to learn quickly through intensive training is critical (see below). What is Agave? Agave is one of the fastest-growing companies you’ve never heard of, until now. We’re the modern data infrastructure platform for construction, the world’s third-largest industry and one of its most technologically underserved. Every day, contractors run into the same problem: their business-critical systems don’t talk to each other. These systems, for accounting, project management, estimating, payroll, and field operations each hold essential data — from job costs and invoices to budgets and schedules, and are the backbone of how contractors run their business, make decisions, and keep projects moving. When these systems and data live in silos, the result is errors, delays, double-entry, and wasted money. Teams spend countless hours reconciling spreadsheets, chasing down missing information, and trying to stitch together a reliable view of their projects and finances. Agave solves this by being the connective tissue across the industry’s most important tools. We integrate and synchronize data across systems so that contractors always have accurate, up-to-date information in real time. That shared data layer unlocks the next step: workflow automations that replace spreadsheets, emails, and one-off processes with reliable, system-driven execution across finance and operations — enabling teams to work faster, make better decisions, and avoid costly mistakes. In just a few years, we’ve hit milestones most startups never reach: profitable for over 2 years, millions in recurring revenue with multi-year contracts, and backed by Accel, YC, and top executives from Procore, Autodesk, and PlanGrid. We’ve built something people actually need, in a market most of Silicon Valley ignores — which is exactly why we’re winning. The only thing slowing us down is hiring. 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. Why are we hiring this role? We’re growing 10% month-over-month. We’re closing and onboarding 5-8 new customers per week. We simply can’t manage this pace going forward with our current headcount. By hiring for this role, we will expand our capacity to run more sales demos and onboard more customers in a shorter period. This will enable us to sign more customers faster and release a constraint holding us back from hitting our aggressive growth goals this year. You will wear many hats in addition to leading customer implementations, including: Solutions Engineer: you’ll understand our customer’s needs and configure our tool so it integrates seamlessly with their systems of record (e.g. ERP). You’ll be forced to get scrappy, creative, and technical to figure out solutions to unexpected needs and to troubleshoot quirks that arise. Customer Success: you’ll build deep relationships with our customers and manage renewal cycles, expansions, and support escalations to ensure they remain happy with our product. Product Manager: you’ll work 1:1 with our customers and observe implicit and explicit feedback they provide when using our product. You’ll capture that input, synthesize it, and work with our engineering team to prioritize improvements that make our implementations faster and easier. Sales Engineer: you’ll serve as the technical expert in early sales conversations — leading demos with prospectiv

Role: Founding Account/Customer Success Manager tl;dr: Join a profitable, $Xm ARR startup (YC W22, Accel-backed) as the first dedicated customer success hire. You'll own retention, expansion, customer success strategy, process building, AND cross-functional product input. You will report directly to our CEO to grow and retain Agave's customer base from $Xm ARR to $XXm ARR+. Ideally, you are a hungry, scrappy, and energetic account manager, pumped to bet on a career-defining role at a fast-growing, early-stage startup. Min. 2+ YoE managing customer accounts at a b2b SaaS company, ideally with experience in construction tech. This role has clear renewal and expansion targets, but no formal quota/OTE. Comp shown is salary. Why are we hiring this role? We've made a ton of progress (5XX+ customers, $Xm ARR, profitable & cash-flow positive for 2yr+). Now, we're seeking a Founding Account Manager to help us keep customers happy, maximize the value we deliver to existing customers, and unlock growth from within our base. You'll own customer retention and expansion while working with our CEO/co-founder on all aspects of customer success and revenue expansion - from defining expansion plays and pricing strategies, to identifying upsell opportunities and optimizing customer health metrics. You'll be the expert on our customers' evolving needs - our CTO will ask for your input when planning sprints and new features. We expect you to ramp fast since you're stepping into a customer base that's growing and engaged. To do all of this, you will need to be unique. While typical AMs execute existing playbooks, you will need to write a better one. You are not a coin-operated account manager looking for a 9-to-5. You are a hungry, scrappy, and energetic AM, pumped to bet on a career-defining role at a fast-growing, early-stage startup. Your potential for impact will extend far beyond the ARR you retain and expand. Responsibilities Your core role is to ensure construction general/trade contractors continue to get massive value from automating work through software integration and automation. To do this, you will own our customer lifecycle, including: Retention + renewal: build deep relationships with customer champions and economic buyers by driving on-time renewals at high rates. Monitor account health, identify churn risks early, and execute retention strategies. Ensure customers renew at high rates. Customer escalations: act as the front line of defense for unhappy customers. Navigate difficult conversations and coordinate with Engineering and Product to resolve issues quickly. Turn detractors into promoters through exceptional service recovery. Expansion + growth: identify and close expansion opportunities (new use cases, new products, etc.) with our existing customers. Directly manage and build processes to ensure success for a portfolio of 475+ accounts. Customer advocacy: run QBRs with key accounts to review ROI, identify opportunities, and strengthen relationships. Gather product feedback and advocate for customer needs with Engineering and Product teams. Process improvement: improve our customer success processes (playbooks, health scoring, QBR templates, renewal workflows, CRM hygiene, expansion dashboards, etc.). Cross-team work: Join weekly sprint planning with Engineering to represent customer priorities. Requirements Hard requirements: 3+ years of account management experience: 2+ YoE managing customer accounts at a b2b SaaS company. You understand the relationship-building, process, and tenacity required to retain and expand 5-6 figure b2B SaaS contracts. Previously managed a book of $1M+ ARR involving B2B SaaS accounts. Prior customer success + expansion success: strong record evidenced by retention rates, NRR/GRR metrics, and manager feedback. Be prepared to share specific numbers in interviews. Soft requirements: Hands-on: you have been a successful IC and want to continue being one. You must love operating in the mess
What the role involves
tldr: tl;dr: We're hiring our first design hire to own the look, feel, and usability of Agave as we go from one product to a platform. You'll build our design system from scratch, design across every product we ship this year (2-6 new ones), and work directly with the cofounders, engineers, and PMs to make the Agave platform simple to use. Why join us? Early-stage, yet de-risked. We are a rare combo of being early stage (high upside) but lower risk (5XX+ paying customers, $Xm+ recurring revenue, profitable & cash-flow positive for over 2 years, hockey-stick growth). You get the benefits of an early stage startup without the risk you'll have at almost any other startup. You'll have a ton of impact, work directly with our customers, and ship real product for real users. Although we're early stage, we've eliminated the key strategic risks you'll face at other startups — unproven product, lack of market validation, lack of revenue, over-reliance on VC funding, co-founder disputes. We're 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. A blank canvas with real stakes. Most first design hires join companies that are either pre-product (nothing to design for) or post-product (constrained by whatever was built before you). We're in the sweet spot. We have 2 live products customers already love, and 2-6 more launching this year. You'll build all of our design system, component library, and product surface it, and every product shipping for the next several years will carry your fingerprints. Your work compounds. Every product you design plugs into infrastructure we've spent years building, and every new product makes the rest of our suite more valuable. You're not designing in a vacuum — you're designing for an existing customer base, a co-sell network with some of the largest companies in construction, and a platform that's still being defined. The decisions you make in your first six months will shape how thousands of construction teams interact with their critical software for years. Huge opportunity with little direct competition. Startups are incredibly hard, so you want to join one that has a unique advantage. Construction is the world's third-largest industry and overlooked by most people in startup land. We have a multi-year head start against potential competitors. We're backed by world-class investors (Accel, YC) and construction insiders (Procore and Autodesk executives, founders of the largest construction tech companies like PlanGrid). Responsibilities We've spent years building deep, proprietary integrations with every major construction ERP and project management platform. This year we're launching 2-6 more products on the same platform, on top of our existing products. Your job is to make all of it look, feel, and work like one tool. Own the end-to-end product experience. Across every product we have today and every product we launch this year, you own how it looks and how it feels to use. Build our design system from zero. Tokens, components, patterns, documentation. We have none of this. A controller using three of our products should feel like they're using one tool, not three. Design data-dense interfaces. Our users work with thousands of invoices, hundreds of vendors, dozens of jobs, and GL codes that matter to the dollar. You're comfortable making tables, filters, reconciliation flows, and sync states that hold up at scale. Go deep on the customer. You'll sit in on calls with controllers, AP managers, and project accountants. You'll watch them use our product. You'll see the workflows, hear the frustration, and turn it into product improvements. Partner with cofounders and PMs on what to build. You'll be in the room for all major product decisions, not just the pixel decisions. Your taste and instincts will shape what ships. Must have Shipped B2B product work. A port

tl;dr: Partnerships are one of our biggest growth levers: the majority of our leads come from inbound and partner referrals, and the function has no dedicated owner. We're hiring our first Partnerships Lead to turn an opportunistic network into a scalable ecosystem. You'll own relationships with Procore, Autodesk, the major ERPs (Sage, Foundation), and dozens of VARs; structure deals and joint GTM; and build the programs and metrics that make partner-enabled sales repeatable. The role is equal parts strategic business development, GTM/sales, and product marketing. You'll report directly to the CEO, and own high-visibility goals that everyone in the company cares about. Why are we hiring this role Partnerships are already one of our biggest growth levers. 90% of our leads come from inbound and partner referrals alone. But to date, our approach to partnerships has been opportunistic and unstructured, and we need someone to come in and truly own this function. We’re looking for you to structure, grow, and scale partnerships as a key pillar at Agave, elevating it from an ad hoc network to a scalable ecosystem. You'll inherit a strong foundation of relationships and an executive team invested in partnerships as a critical driver of growth. From there, you'll deepen engagement, drive more referrals, and build programs that create value for partners and customers alike. The best people in this role don't just maintain relationships; they build momentum by creating win-win deals that leave both sides better off.

You'll work directly with engineers to spec, test, and ship product improvements — rolling up your sleeves in the weeds of complex integrations, edge cases, and real customer data.

We're growing fast — 10% month-over-month — and our product surface is expanding rapidly. As we scale integrations and add new features, we need someone who can be the bridge between our engineering team and the messy reality of how customers actually use our product. This person will own the investigative, speccing, QA, and rollout work that keeps our product moving quickly without sacrificing quality. You'll be embedded with engineers and will develop deep expertise in the systems we integrate with.

tl;dr: We're hiring a hands-on, technical product leader to build new products on top of infrastructure that took us years to build and no one else has. You'll own the full arc from idea to shipped product to ARR, working across Product Analysts, Account Executives, and engineers to move fast, launch repeatedly, and grow revenue. You'll have a rare advantage most PMs never get: deep proprietary infrastructure already integrated with every major construction platform, and a built-in distribution channel of 500+ paying customers and a growing co-sell network with some of the largest names in the industry. What you build will get used, it will compound, and you'll do it more than once. No construction experience needed, we'll teach you everything. Why join us? Early-stage, yet de-risked: we are a rare combo of being early stage (high upside) but lower risk (5XX+ paying customers, $Xm+ recurring revenue, profitable & cash-flow positive for over 2 years, hockey-stick growth).

Huge opportunity without direct competition: 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. 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). A platform that compounds: After years of building and developing key partnerships in the industry, Agave has proprietary integrations with every major construction ERP and project management platform that would take any competitor years to replicate. That infrastructure is your foundation. Every product you build plugs into it, and into every product we've already launched. The platform compounds as the suite grows, which means your work doesn't just drive standalone ARR, it makes the whole product more valuable. And unlike most PMs who ship into a vacuum, you're shipping into an existing, growing customer base with co-sell channels into some of the largest companies in the construction industry. Responsibilities Agave has spent years building deep, proprietary integrations with the major construction ERP and project management platforms — infrastructure no one else has. Your job is to take each from idea to MVP to production to $1M+ ARR as fast as possible, then do it again. Define what gets built. Some products will arrive partially specced; others will start as a blank page. Either way, you'll synthesize signals from customers, PAs, AEs, and the market to define what to build, why, and in what order. Lead cross-functional execution. You'll work daily with P

tl;dr Hiring is the single most important thing we do. The quality of every product, every customer relationship, and every dollar of ARR traces back to who we hire. We're looking for a Talent Lead to help us massively scale the team over the next year. You'll run full-cycle recruiting for technical and non-technical roles, work with our external recruiting partners, and build the systems that let us scale without lowering the bar. Why we're hiring this role We’re looking to 2-2.5x our team size this year. We have aggressive hiring goals to hit our aggressive growth goals, and recruiting is the single biggest lever on whether we can hit those. We need someone to come in and own full-cycle recruiting, helping us expand upon our top 1% talent bar. Why join us Early-stage, yet de-risked: We're a rare combo of early stage (high upside) but lower risk: 5XX+ paying customers, $Xm+ recurring revenue, profitable and cash-flow positive for over 2 years, hockey-stick growth. You get the benefits of an early stage startup without the risk you'll face at almost any other startup. Huge impact, direct exposure to the business, and interesting problems you won't see at bigger companies. We've eliminated key strategic risks you'll face elsewhere: unproven product, lack of market validation, lack of revenue, over-reliance on VC funding, co-founder disputes. We're all young and hungry.

Recruiting is a strategic function: The companies that win in our space won't win on product alone, they'll win on the density of talent they can pull into one room. Hiring is the single highest-leverage function in the business: it compounds faster than code, faster than revenue, and determines the ceiling on everything else. A single great hire can change our trajectory. A single bad one can cost us a quarter.
