As a Software Engineer on our Marketplace team, you’ll create responsive web and mobile applications that integrate with a rich ecosystem of services to power our Marketplace platforms.

Today, farming is complex, farmers don’t have the incentive to grow higher-quality crops. In fact, since crops are commoditized, farmers' main incentive is to simply grow as much volume as possible.

Our Marketplace flips the current model on its head through a holistic, two-side market access-based approach, by connecting smallholder farmers and emerging farms with buyers to directly transact while tracing crop identity.

We enable farmers to get paid a premium for growing high-quality desirable crops to significantly increase their incomes, improve quality of life and build paths to prosperity.

Your expertise in interface design and software architecture will help us deliver a world-class application to our growing suite of world-class marketplace products.
