What the role involves
tl;dr we're hiring a sharp, semi-technical generalist to become a deep product expert. 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. This role is about execution, not strategy. You'll report directly to our co-founder/CEO.
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 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.

QA & Rollout
Design and execute thorough test plans before features ship
Catch edge cases that engineers and customers would miss
Document rollout steps and own post-launch monitoring
Customer & Internal Feedback Loops
Synthesize feedback from customer calls, support tickets, and onboarding observations
Translate implicit and explicit product pain points into actionable specs
Partner with the AM/onboarding team to identify friction points and prioritize fixes

What we lo
About Agave
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.
