About this role
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, hockey-stick growth). You get the benefits of an early stage startup without the risk youll have 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,
- Momentum is accelerating : our AI products are the fastest-growing part of the business, with a third of new deals now including one. Channel partnerships are fueling that growth too: we signed 8 new ones in the last month alone. Were all young and hungry. Most of us moved to SF from far away (Canada, SoCal, Texas, Virginia) specifically to build 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. Youll 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 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. Most who can solve this problem arent 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 dont solve durable problems or arent 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. Were also backed by world-class investors (Accel, YC) and Construction insiders (Procore and Autodesk executives, founders of the largest construction tech companies like PlanGrid).
Requirements
- Back-end/full-stack engineer, ideally with 1-10 years experience (we're open to exceptional college grads with strong intern/co-op experience).
