Senior Cloud Data Engineer

52% of agricultural land is degraded by current management practices. 60-75% of original soil carbon has been lost in lands used for agriculture (according to the IPCC).

We’re going to change that.

Aigen is building an autonomous, solar-powered robotics platform that manages plants without the chemical inputs that undermine soil’s carbon storage potential. Closed-loop data collection, analysis, and action without diesel or pesticides. By bringing affordable alternatives to conventional practices, the platform will regenerate soil health and help farmers deal with the global agriculture manual labor shortage.

Our mission is to regenerate soil at a planetary scale—automated terraforming, with a solar powered robotics platform.

In this exciting role, you will have the opportunity to design, implement and operate Aigen's IoT and AI/ML cloud platform.  You will work closely with an extremely motivated team of engineers to implement scalable cloud services for our data pipeline, ML vision training pipeline and IoT device configuration management. Experience with frontend web/mobile technology is a plus.

The team is still growing, so the responsibilities will be wide and varied.  The ideal candidate will be a quick learner with the ability to understand complex systems, and have a creative approach to problem solving.
