Job description

At Miraterra, we’re on a mission to create a healthier, more efficient, and sustainable future. Our breakthrough digital measurement technology is transforming how we understand the world around us—unlocking critical insights across soil, plants, feed, food, and more.

By combining advanced sensor technology, machine learning, and computational chemistry, we empower farmers, food producers, and industries to make smarter, more sustainable decisions. Our solutions drive both environmental and economic impact, improving efficiency, sustainability, and quality across the entire value chain. We’re building something meaningful and we’re looking for talented, compassionate individuals to join us on this exciting journey.

YOUR ROLE AT MIRATERRA

As a Software Developer at Miraterra, you will play a pivotal role in developing the embedded software that powers our cutting-edge instrument. You will design, code, and test software in C++ and Python that will run on a custom Linux distribution within a Kubernetes cluster, interacting directly with our cloud database to seamlessly upload valuable sensor data and manage the instrument's diverse components. This hands-on role will see you collaborating closely with both the Electronics and Cloud Software teams to ensure the seamless integration and optimal functionality of our groundbreaking technology.

WORKING RELATIONSHIPS

Reporting to the Software Manager, you will work closely with the Electronics teams and the Cloud Software team.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL

• Design, develop, and test Python and C++ embedded software for our instrument
• Work with K3s and Helm to manage deployments
• Work with stakeholders to understand requirements and design solutions

• Test and debug solutions to ensure they meet requirements
• Interface with the Electrical Team to support new hardware devices and existing firmware
• Interface with the cloud team to support sending and receiving data from our web app

WHAT WE OFFER:

• Work that matters: Measurement-informed action empowers smarter, more sustainable decisions across soil, plants, feed, food, and beyond—amplifying environmental impact, improving food security, and lowering costs across the value chain.
• A hybrid company with team members in Canada and the United States — some work on site daily while many are typically remote.
• We focus on work while we’re at work, and sometimes, we go to the park with frisbees.
• Unlimited vacation, solid health care benefits, and salaries benchmarked to market for fairness. All full-time employees receive stock options, so that we succeed together.
