Back-End / Full Stack Engineer
This is a unique opportunity to join a mission-driven startup applying cutting-edge data engineering, satellite science, and backend development to help farmers grow more sustainably and profitably.
You’ll work at the intersection of satellite imagery, backend systems, and machine-learning infrastructure, helping to build and scale a groundbreaking agricultural intelligence platform.
What you’ll be doing
You will own and contribute to backend and ML infrastructure across a wide range of technical areas, including:
* Migrating our machine-learning training pipelines to AWS (currently running largely locally)
* Designing and implementing ML testing pipelines, including visualisation tools to assess model performance
* Building tooling to analyse spectral signals at specific parts of imagery, enabling better diagnosis of where and why models perform well or poorly
* Supporting atmospheric correction testing pipelines and contributing to visualisation tools used to validate results
* Integrating with new satellite imagery feeds and partnering APIs (including tractor/precision agriculture data)
* Developing and maintaining data pipelines for ML workflows and crop-growth modelling
* Enhancing geo-rectification workflows and improving performance of atmospheric correction systems
* Collaborating closely with engineering, data science, and product teams to turn insights into production-ready features
* Contributing to both R&D-heavy and commercially driven engineering initiatives
What you can bring
* Strong Python skills, including experience with data processing libraries (e.g. Numpy, Pandas).
* Bonus: RasterIO or other geospatial tooling experience.
* Experience with AWS and containerised environments (Docker).
* Familiarity with backend frameworks (FastAPI, Flask, or Django).
* Experience working with data pipelines, ML workflows, or MLOps-style environments.
* Ideally some experience with TypeScript for visualisation or frontend-adjacent tooling.
* Comfort navigating ambiguity, proposing improvements, and balancing short-term execution with long-term architecture.
* Strong communication skills: able to document, explain, and align with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
* Prior experience in a fast-paced or startup environment is beneficial.
What’s in it for you
* A rare engineering role that bridges backend systems, satellite technology, and machine-learning infrastructure.
* The chance to build tools at the cutting edge of geospatial and spectral analysis.
* Work with a smart, ambitious team that values experimentation and delivery.
* Meaningful equity at an exciting inflection point of company growth.
* Major career growth opportunities as the company scales.
* A real chance to shape technology that impacts climate resilience, food security, and sustainable agriculture.
