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 early career developers who can demonstrate momentum, hunger to grow, and the resilience to navigate a complex codebase. While some limited 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.
