Senior Full-Stack Engineer - Bellevue, United States - Orchard , CO

    Default job background
    Description
    Orchards in the U.S.

    produce $35B of fruit every year, but fruit farmers are losing 30-50% of their potential crop because they lack data needed to manage crops precisely.


    About Us:


    Orchard Robotics is a seed-stage startup backed by top VCs like General Catalyst, Contrary, Soma Capital, Humba Ventures, and angel investors like Howard Lerman (founder of Yext).

    We're building Robots & AI that enable precision crop management. Our AI-powered camera systems count, size, and measure the growth of every fruit on 1,000,000+ trees in an orchard. Our mission is to help farmers to produce more food for the world, much more efficiently.
    Farmers are using our technology today in some of the largest orchards in the nation.

    Background for the role:
    Here at Orchard Robotics, our AI-powered camera systems collect precision data about millions of fruit every day.

    This includes everything from size, color, growth rate, trees, leaf canopy area, and much more – terabytes of data going through our system.

    However, all this data is useless unless farmers can actually utilize it in their day-to-day operations.

    When a farmer is managing hundreds of millions of fruit on thousands of acres, it's critical they can easily understand all of their data.

    Your job will be to utilize your extensive breadth & depth of frontend (web, React) and backend (Flask, MongoDB) knowledge to help us invent new solutions in our web app platform that is changing the way farmers manage their orchards.

    You will own the frontend + backend development of our orchard data platform, FruitScope, where our farmers view every piece of data, recommendations, and insights collected by our AI-powered camera systems.

    We value development speed, technical expertise, and grit.

    We win by iterating fast and creating new + inventive ways for farmers to gain previously unknown insights into their orchards.

    When the software you build helps a farmer utilize their data better, say, to grow even one more apple per tree, that adds up to millions of pounds of fruit across an orchard, meaning millions of more people fed

    If you're looking to help make a positive impact in the world by transforming the future of agriculture, come join us.

    Even if you may not meet every requirement, we'd strongly encourage you apply.

    About the role:
    As an early engineer, you'll receive very generous equity compensation
    Full-time role at our WA headquarters
    Flexible working hours
    Comprehensive Health, Vision, and Dental coverage
    We move fast, and sometimes this means staying late or working weekends
    Our team is close-knit & highly driven, you'll work directly with our CEO and entire team

    We're deeply motivated by the impact we're making – every line of code written or new system built means one less fruit that goes to waste, and one more person who is fed.


    What you'll do:
    Build new features in our web app to help farmers better understand their data
    Ship scalable software that is capable of analyzing the hundreds of millions of fruit in an orchard
    Iterate quickly on customer feedback
    Develop for our backend, frontend, UI/UX, and database.
    Optimize systems to be fast (i.e. query and calculate statistics for millions of fruit at a time)
    Build comprehensive test suites to validate accuracy over real-world edge cases

    What makes you a good fit:
    You know how to build fast, reliable, scalable software.
    You're comfortable working with cloud (Google Cloud), python / Flask backend, and databases (MongoDB).
    Hands on experience building production-quality web apps at scale
    You're a hard worker with relentless persistence.
    You aren't afraid of moving fast, learning what you don't know, and are comfortable with a lot of autonomy.
    You are a "jack of all trades" developer, comfortable working on all parts of the stack.

    Bonus Points:
    Prior experience building web apps around very large amounts of data
    Experience building bespoke RESTful APIs
