Senior Full-stack Engineer

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

We're securing America’s food supply by building the AI farmer that automates our nation’s farms. We've started by gathering critical data to provide detailed insights for every tree, at billion-fruit scale, to help our farmers farm more profitably, efficiently, and sustainably. 

We are the most advanced technology on the farms we work with. Farmers are using our technology today in some of the largest farms in the nation.

About the Role:

Here at Orchard Robotics, our AI-powered camera systems collect precision data about fruit on tens of millions of trees.

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 what is happening to every tree, block, and acre of land.

Your job will be to utilize your extensive breadth & depth of frontend (Typescript/React) and backend (Flask, PostgreSQL) knowledge to help us invent new solutions in our FruitScope OS (web app) – that is changing the way farmers manage their farms today. 

You will have ownership over frontend backend development of our data platform, where our farmers view every piece of data, every recommendation, and each insight collected by our AI-powered camera systems.

We value development speed, technical expertise, and grit. In the agriculture industry where it typically takes many years for innovations from incumbents to come to light, we win by moving fast and creating new & inventive ways for farmers to gain previously unknown insights into their farms. 

About the role: 

• As an early engineer, you'll receive generous equity compensation
• Full-time role at our Bellevue, WA headquarters
• Flexible working hours
• Comprehensive Health, Vision, and Dental coverage (we pay 100% of the premium)
• 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 farm
• Wrangle large amounts of fruit data (on the scale of billions)
• Iterate quickly on customer feedback
• Develop for our backend, frontend, UI/UX, and database. 
• Maintain and develop our cloud infrastructure and security.
• 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), React frontend, Python / Flask backend, and databases (postgreSQL).
• 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 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
• Experience with GIS data and systems
• Experience with data security and permissions management
