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.
