Key Responsibilities

We're looking for standout Senior Engineers with a deep product instinct: people who care as much about the problem as the solution. You'll take on challenges that genuinely haven't been solved before. We don't mind whether your strengths sit on the frontend, backend, full stack, or on the platform side that gives every other engineer leverage. What matters is that you ship robust, thoughtful work, lift the bar on how we build, and use AI tools well.
Design, build, and deliver features and systems end to end, from the surfaces farmers touch to the services and infrastructure behind them.
Make smart architectural calls, then back them up by writing the code.
Work closely with engineering, design, and product to ship high-impact features quickly.
Support and mentor other engineers through design conversations, code reviews, and generous context sharing.
Contribute to the reliability and performance of our systems, especially when things get tricky. Every team owns its services end-to-end, with an on-call rotation.
Get out on farm. Deep domain knowledge matters, and you'll be expected to develop it.
Have designed and delivered complex systems in production and have the experience (and scars) to show for it.
Think like a product engineer: you care about the customer experience, not just clean code.
Know how to use AI tools well to lift team output and focus on the harder stuff.
Have experience supporting and mentoring other engineers.
Are comfortable in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where adaptability beats perfection.
Have worked in cloud environments. AWS is a bonus.
A degree in software engineering (or equivalent) is nice to have, but not essential.

Required Skills & Abilities

Frontend / Mobile: strong UX intuition, modern frontend frameworks (React, React Native a bonus), an eye for performance and polish on real devices.
Backend: building and scaling REST APIs, distributed systems, and event-driven services. Comfort with both relational and non-relational databases. Node.js, Kotlin, Go, or systems that integrate with hardware/IoT a bonus.
Full stack: all of the above, end to end, across web, mobile, and the services that power them.
Platform: you love building tooling that makes the whole company move faster, including the AI tooling that's reshaping how engineers work. Strong AWS and Terraform at scale, with experience across CI/CD, observability, and on-call tooling.
