Join Sagri, a pioneering social impact startup utilizing satellite data and AI technology to address global food crisis and climate change challenges. Be part of a dynamic team using satellite data and AI technology to address global food crises and climate change. You'll be able to develop unique services like Actaba, Detaba, and Sagri, each offering distinct, innovative solutions in agricultural management and optimization. Embrace a role where job titles do not limit your technical skills and creativity but are harnessed to tackle diverse, impactful challenges. Ideal candidates are passionate, fast learners ready to make a significant societal impact and thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced startup environment. With your software engineering expertise, join us to drive meaningful change and shape a sustainable future.

We provide three primary services.

Actaba: this service focuses on surveying the use of agricultural land. It's already deployed in over 40 municipalities and aims to expand further, evolving based on customer feedback. Actaba stands out as it has no direct competitors and has received positive evaluations from its users.

Detaba: this is an app for surveying crop planting. Utilizing satellite imagery, Detaba infers the crops planted in a given area. This aids municipalities in ensuring lands are used as declared, simplifying the process of granting subsidies and gathering statistical data.

Sagri: an app tailored for farming operations. It assists in optimizing fertilizer use by analyzing soil components through satellite imagery. Minimizing excess fertilizer use reduces workload and addresses environmental concerns like global warming. Sagri is currently under joint development with WAGRI, aiming to enhance agricultural data integration and provision.

These services aim to support sustainable agriculture, reduce carbon emissions, and improve farmers' profitability by leveraging carbon credits, particularly in emerging countries.

Software Engineer role at Sagri

Software Engineers are professionals encouraged to use the most suitable technology without being restricted to specific roles or tools. While valuing specialization, their job titles should not limit their potential, enabling them to apply their diverse skills and creativity to various challenges.

Who You Are

We're looking for exceptional engineers passionate about our mission and strongly desire to make a meaningful impact. The ideal candidate will have:

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent work experience.
    Excellent product instincts. You first think about users rather than the best technical solution.
  • You are known for shipping products and features lightning-fast.
  • You're an excellent problem solver and don't need to be told exactly what to do.
  • Comfortable working across the stack (backend and frontend).
  • Ability to pick up on new technologies very quickly.
  • Proven track record of delivering features. 
  • Startup experience at a high-growth company.

What You'll Do

In this role, you will: 

  • Work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where ideas are discussed and challenged openly.
  • Deliver new features and improve the relevance of core products.
  • Identify major system bottlenecks or flaws in business logic and proactively address them.
  • Take ownership of core product problems, develop the solutions you love, and prove through data that they are impactful at scale.
  • Work across the stack to solve problems; you are not reliant on another engineer or team to complete tasks.

Here are some things we value but don't expect all:

  • Have 0-1 experience, whether with a startup or starting a new team at an existing company.
  • Product Management experience.

Who we want to work with:

  • Resonate with Sagri's vision, mission, and values.
  • Have the desire to solve societal issues through software engineering.
  • Value team communication and information sharing, highly motivated to learn and acquire new skills.
  • Keen on listening to customer feedback and responding earnestly.
  • Enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, embracing significant changes.
