Software Developer I - hybrid in Glendale AZ [SD1-2026-08]

About the role

Agate is building a highly configurable platform that powers complex, data-driven solutions. We are hiring a Software Developer I to help extend and tailor that platform for real-world customer use cases. This is an early-career role designed for high-potential builders, not passive task executors. You’ll work in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where requirements are not always perfect, and success depends on your ability to ask the right questions, take ownership, and figure things out.

The ideal candidate is strong in SQL, comfortable with front-end fundamentals, and hungry to grow into a full-stack developer. You should be the type of person who doesn’t wait to be told what to do—you actively seek clarity, push work forward, and take pride in delivering outcomes.

This is an onsite position that is eligible for a hybrid schedule (3 days required onsite/2 days remote) after the first 90 days.

Responsibilities

• Extend and tailor Agate’s configurable grant-management platform for real-world customer use cases.
• Work in a fast-paced environment where requirements may be ambiguous; take ownership, ask clarifying questions, and drive solutions forward.
• Collaborate with a mission-driven team dedicated to making a difference through cutting-edge technology.

Requirements

• Proficiency in SQL.
• Comfort with front-end fundamentals.
• Desire to grow into a full-stack developer.
• Self-starter mindset: actively seek clarity, push work forward, and deliver outcomes without waiting to be told what to do.
