What they're building

AI products built on the integration layer moderate signal

Today: Site: 'AI Financial Operations for Contractors'; 'AI learns how records are coded, how approvals are routed, and how job costs flow'.

Roles: Head of Sales · Technical Support Engineer (TSE) · Senior Software Engineer · Product Analyst · Operations Associate · Customer Solutions Engineer (CSE)

Requirements mention: AI product infrastructure · AI fluency

Inference: AI agents that run on Agave's integrations into contractor systems are a growth priority. The TSE posting calls AI products the 'fastest-growing part of the business', and several postings name invoicing, expenses, compliance and billing as target workflows.

Platform engineering for the construction financial operations platform moderate signal

Today: Site: 'Agave layers on top of your ERP to automate financial workflows, no rip-and-replace required.'

Roles: Senior Software Engineer · Software Engineer

Requirements mention: sync engine internals · data consistency at scale · caching layers · webhooks · real-time communication · AI product infrastructure

Inference: the engineering postings point to work on syncing and keeping data consistent between contractor systems and the platform.

Product work on integrations and new products moderate signal

Today: Site: 'Seamless integrations with your existing systems', naming Procore, Viewpoint and Spectrum.

Roles: Product Manager · Product Analyst

Requirements mention: construction ERP · project management platforms · ERPs · field tools · accounting platforms · engineer-ready specs · test plans

Inference: the Product Manager posting describes 'New products built on top of infrastructure' with integrations into construction ERP and project management platforms. The postings do not name the new products.

Sales build-out moderate signal

Today: Posting (Head of Sales): 'alongside its core product with 600+ customers'. Site: 'Automated accounting workflows for thousands of contractors'.

Roles: Head of Sales · Account Executive

Requirements mention: Recruit and ramp · Coach and develop · outbound motion · co-selling with channel partners · quota-carrying role · cold calls

Inference: a sales leader hired to 'recruit and ramp' alongside a quota-carrying AE suggests the sales team will grow, with outbound and channel-partner selling.

Customer support and implementation weak signal

Today: Posting (TSE): support built as a 'first-class function' to scale to 1k+ customers.

Roles: Technical Support Engineer (TSE) · Customer Solutions Engineer (CSE)

Requirements mention: owning a queue of tickets · lead customer implementations · b2b SaaS software implementations

No inference drawn; weak signal.

First marketing hire weak signal

Today: Site: 'AI Financial Operations for Contractors'.

Roles: Founding Marketing Lead

Requirements mention: Positioning & messaging · Sales enablement · SEO/AIO tooling · Webflow · HubSpot

No inference drawn; weak signal.
