tl;dr: we’re hiring our first Product Manager, who will own our system integrations. Our ideal hire is a generalist who also helps us meet future product, solutions engineering, and customer success needs. No need to have familiarity with construction.
Why Join Us
-
Opportunity: you have the chance to be an early, pivotal member of a fast-growing YC startup modernizing one of the world's largest industries (construction).
-
Team: you'll work with a world-class founding team that's experienced, intense, and ambitious. We've 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.
-
Timing: you're joining at a key inflection point. We're proven (we've grown revenue 4x year over year, have 65+ customers) but also early. This means you have lower risk but also huge upside.
Responsibilities
- Research new source systems to integrate with (data models, business logic, APIs, etc.); become our go-to subject matter expert on these systems. It’s part product, part data analysis, and part archeology.
- Research and define structure for new unified data models we launch (schemas, interrelations with other models, how to standardize each across dozens of systems, etc.).
- Write detailed documentation (e.g. runbooks, FAQs) explaining source systems, data models, and API features for internal and external reference.
- Troubleshoot ad hoc issues with integrations and data models, helping our software engineers debug and resolve errors.
- Test new API features and provide feedback to our software engineers; determine ways to improve and automate integrations work over time.
- Help our customers launch and have a delightful experience with our API (e.g. by attending Customer Success calls to answer integration-related questions).
-
Stretch duties:
- Assist sales team in customer demos, showing product functionality, refining customer requirements, and driving toward winning their business.
- Produce dashboards (e.g. showing API performance, customer metrics) for team review during weekly meetings.
- Help translate customer needs to detailed product requirements our software engineers can code against.
-
No need to have: prior experience with Construction or at B2B SaaS/dev tools companies
Requirements
-
Generalist: you’ll work across many threads in a dynamic role with potential for even wider scope as we grow.
-
Semi-technical: no need to code, but you must have some experience with APIs, data models, SQL, Postman. The more, the better
-
1+ year experience: we’re open to exceptional new grads with substantive internships. We don’t have a cap on experience, but want someone hungry with room to grow.
-
High ownership + conscientiousness: ability to manage many threads at once without sacrificing quality.
-
Meticulous attention to detail: you are a structured thinker who nerds-out on nuances, accounts for edge cases, and tests your work thoroughly before calling it done.
-
Clear + concise communication: oral and written, must love writing crisp docs for internal + external reference.
-
Uncanny ability to deliver results: you get the job done consistently, doing any task needed to deliver on time.

- Experience working closely with software engineers to ship products on tight timelines.
- Experience building technical products (e.g. APIs, developer tools).
- Experience interfacing with customers (e.g. running user interviews, demoing SaaS products).
- Knowledge of accounting/finance, since many of our API use-cases relate to this domain.
