You will build software that enables farmers to understand, trust, and use that data to run their operations.As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer, you will help build FruitScope OS, the web application that our farmers use to run their farms. You will own major product problems end to end: understanding customer needs, designing technical solutions, building across the stack, shipping to production, and learning directly from customers. You will utilize your extensive depth of frontend and backend knowledge to invent new solutions to address customer needs. The software you build is how our farmers determine what actions and interventions to take to improve their farms: saving on chemical sprays and labor inputs, while making the farm more profitable and sustainable than ever before.<h2>What You'll Own:</h2><ul><li>Build major FruitScope OS web app features from concept through production.</li><li>Develop for our backend, frontend, UI/UX, and database.</li><li>Create intuitive interfaces that make complex agricultural data actionable across millions of plants and billions of crops.</li><li>Build scalable and efficient backend services, APIs, and data models.</li><li>Work directly with our farmers to understand problems and rapidly improve the product.</li></ul><h2>What We Look For:</h2><ul><li>Hands on experience building production-quality web apps at scale.</li><li>Experience with modern frontend, backend, database, and cloud infrastructure (React, Python, PostgreSQL, or Google Cloud is helpful)</li><li>You want to own the development of features end-to-end, working across all parts of our product, the full stack, and addressing customer feedback.</li><li>Strong product judgment and the ability to turn ambiguous problems into shipped solutions.</li><li>You are comfortable with a lot of autonomy and want substantial ownership.</li><li>You love to move fast, have a bias toward action, and the ability to learn quickly.</li><li>You are fluent in AI coding tools.</li></ul><h2>About The Opportunity:</h2><ul><li>Full-time role, 5 days a week at our San Francisco, CA office</li><li>Medical, dental, and vision coverage with 100% of employee premiums covered</li><li>We move fast, and sometimes this means staying late or working weekends</li><li>Our team is close-knit &amp; highly driven, you’ll work directly with leadership and collaborate across all our teams</li><li>We’re deeply motivated by the impact we’re making – every line of code written or new system built means less food that goes to waste, and more people who are fed</li></ul>
