What are the responsibilities and job description for the Front-end Engineer position at Hippo Harvest?
OverviewIn a world increasingly impacted by climate change, pollution, and population growth, conventional production of fresh / fruiting vegetables is unsustainable. Compared to field production, greenhouse hydroponic methods use 90% less water, increase yields, reduce food waste, use fewer pesticides, eliminate fertilizer runoff, and allow crops to be grown locally. However, greenhouse producers make up only a small part of todays market due to high capital / labor costs and operational complexity. To close this gap, Hippo Harvest uses new methods of hydroponics, robotics, and machine intelligence to re-imagine greenhouses and build the sustainable, economical, and scalable production systems of the future.As a front-end engineer, youll build interfaces for users across our organization, primarily focused on our commercial and operations teams.
