Do you want to shape the future of precision agriculture?
Our client, a rapidly growing AgriTech company, harnesses advanced data analytics and AI to transform orchards worldwide into smarter and more sustainable ecosystems. As a Python Developer, you’ll have the chance to make a meaningful, positive impact on the environment.

Our client has specialized in improving fruit cultivation over the past few years. Their technology helps growers manage resources and crops more intelligently and sustainably. By using depth cameras and RTK-GPS, they install their advanced edge devices on tractors. This equipment scans trees in real-time to gather data, which is then used to dose the right amount of chemicals, monitor soil quality, and ensure uniform tree growth.

All software is developed in-house by a talented team of developers. The visualization platform, which turns collected data into user-friendly insights for growers, is a crucial part of their offering. This helps growers not only manage their crops better but also increase productivity and reduce their environmental impact. The focus of our client is entirely on software development for hardware they procure themselves. These innovative solutions are applied worldwide and deliver measurable results for growers in various climates.

As a Medior Python Developer, you will become the Python developer within a team of 10 developers, divided into two scrum teams. You will work on the backend systems that power a platform transforming complex data streams into actionable insights for growers worldwide.
