Careers
We grow when the right people join.
No open vacancies right now — but we always want to hear from engineers, agronomists and applied-AI researchers who care about UK agriculture. The list below is what we typically look for; if any of it sounds like you, get in touch.
How we work
A few things we believe in.
We work on real problems
Not synthetic benchmarks. Every line of code touches a field somewhere.
Researchers and shippers, together
We hold ourselves to peer-reviewed standards while also having to ship reliable mobile apps. Both matter.
Plain language
In meetings, in code, in customer conversations. Honest about what we know and what we don't.
Open about boundaries
We don't over-promise — NDVI isn't a soil-health verdict, Carbon Footprint isn't MRV. Working here means being comfortable with calibration over hype.
Roles we typically look for
No open ads — but here's where we grow.
When we do hire, it's in one of these tracks. If you'd be a fit for any of these, please send a CV and a paragraph on why — we keep a small standing pipeline and reach out as roles open.
Senior backend engineer
Java/Spring, MongoDB, REST. Owns parts of the Parallel Farm core (Smart Planning, Farm Tasks, Records). Comfortable working closely with agronomists to model the domain accurately.
- 5+ years backend
- Domain-driven design
- Bonus: agritech or geospatial experience
Mobile / front-end engineer
iOS + Android (React Native or native) for Pezego; Vue 3 / Astro for the web dashboard. Designs for low-connectivity rural use cases.
- Mobile shipping experience
- Strong TypeScript
- Bonus: offline-first / sync experience
Applied AI / ML engineer
Computer vision (pest identification), time-series (NDVI, environmental modelling), structured-output LLM integrations. Comfortable bridging research papers and shipping production systems.
- Production ML experience
- Python + serving frameworks
- Bonus: agricultural domain or remote-sensing background
Agronomy / domain specialist
Works alongside engineering to encode agronomic logic — RB209 implementation, IPM thresholds, crop growth stages. Could be part-time or consultant.
- Agronomic qualification (BASIS or similar)
- Comfortable reviewing model outputs against real field conditions
Extension Service Officer / regional lead
Particularly for the Ghana programme — a regional coordinator working with smallholder farmers and partner ESOs.
- Ghana-based or able to travel
- Agricultural extension background
- Pezego user from day one
Programme / commercial lead
Owns the engagement pipeline — discovery calls, pilot proposals, programme partner relationships. Bridges product and customer.
- B2B agritech or sustainability-programme background
- UK-based; international travel for partner events
The honest bit
What you should know before getting in touch.
We're a small, UK-incorporated company with a small team. Compensation is competitive for the UK agritech sector, not Silicon Valley. We can usually offer share options for senior hires.
We're not a remote-first company by default — Liverpool and the UK research network are our base. Hybrid is standard; fully-remote can work for the right person and role.
If you join, you'll be expected to talk to farmers, agronomists and programme partners regularly. The platform exists to serve them; we don't have a "back-office engineering" track.
