Our journey is marked by groundbreaking achievements and a commitment to pushing boundaries. By simplifying complex workflows, enhancing transparency, and turbo-charging efficiency, we enable our customers to maximize the impact of their funding.

If you're ready to apply your expertise in a dynamic, growth-oriented, mission-driven environment, read on to see how this position aligns with your skills and interests!

What We're Looking For

At Agate, we’re building the engine behind a highly customizable platform - think Salesforce for public records. We're hiring a  Software Developer  to join our agile, high-impact team and help shape the future of configurable software solutions.

You’ll be entering a startup-paced environment where curiosity, autonomy, and grit matter more than credentials. Ideal candidates are self-starters with strong SQL fundamentals, a desire to grow full-stack capabilities, and a bias for action. If you thrive in ambiguity, ask sharp questions, and learn fast, we want to hear from you!

This role is best suited for emerging developers - bootcamp grads, career changers, or recent CS grads - who can demonstrate momentum, hunger to grow, and the resilience to navigate a complex codebase. While mentorship is available, we expect you to own your ramp-up and actively engage in your development.

What You'll Do

• Build and enhance data-driven features using SQL and front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).
• Translate business requirements into clear, testable, and maintainable components.
• Contribute to the configuration and extension of our core platform to meet client-specific needs - similar to building custom functionality on top of Salesforce.
• Participate in Agile rituals including daily standups, sprint planning, and retrospectives.
• Contribute to peer reviews both as a reviewee and reviewer-in-training.
• Log and communicate work clearly via tickets, with ownership and transparency.
• Write simple unit or functional tests, and follow guidelines for accessibility and testability.
• Own the debugging and iteration process for your own work.
• Raise flags early when business requirements are unclear or incomplete.
