Director of Software Engineering - US

Who we are

We are a climate tech company committed to reversing climate change. How do we reach this lofty goal? By disrupting the agriculture industry!

Founded by globally-recognized innovators in science and ag technology, Regrow is unlocking the power and profitability of resilient agriculture across the supply chain — from growers to global food brands. Regrow combines best-in-class agronomy, soil and carbon modeling, and innovative data collection to deliver customized, site-specific and scalable solutions to the agrifood industry.

Our customers are frontrunners in agrifood and agtech, ranging from global market operators, project developers, global food brands, and farmers. We help partners measure their impact on the environment, model and implement changes that will be environmentally and financially sustainable, and track partners’ progress against sustainability goals. 

We're backed by some of the best investors, such as Galvanize Climate Solutions, Microsoft's Venture Fund, Cargill, The Grantham Environmental Trust (NCO), AJAX Strategies and more, all of whom believe in our vision to change the world through resilient agriculture.

Our Mission

Agriculture has the power to reverse climate change. We believe science and technology can help us get there. 

Our goal is to use farmland to cool the earth. We are currently monitoring 150 million acres of land in over 45 countries. This year alone, with just one project, our carbon emissions reductions are equivalent to taking 17,000 cars off the road! We are already on our way to a more sustainable planet.

Our Tech Stack: We pride ourselves on our technology, building modern applications with cutting edge tools. Our cloud native GIS platforms are built on Google Cloud, using Python/FastAPI, multiple databases like MySQL/Postgres/BigQuery and a bit of GoLang on the backend, and React/Typescript for our frontends. Scale, reliability and performance are our goals, and we run dozens of services and thousands of containers on the Hashicorp Stack (Nomad, Consul, Terraforms) where we have full tracing and visibility. Everything in Infrastructure as a service. In this role, you will help direct the technology strategy of our current tools and evaluate for new ones.
