At Monil, we write backend code with real impact for farmers and animals. Every minute, thousands of collars send data to our servers, unlocking both real-time and long-term insights into animal health and performance.

Our tech gives animals more freedom and better lives. We help farmers unlock new grazing areas, as well as make better use of established fields. We help farmers work smarter, not harder, improving efficiency and profitability. And we help the world by optimizing resources for a more sustainable future.

Now, we're expanding our backend team to build even better tools for farmers – and their cows!

3. Experience with Kubernetes (a plus, but not required)

Our Tech Stack

We work with modern, scalable technologies:

1. Go for backend services
2. PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB for data storage
3. gRPC for internal communication and GraphQL APIs for frontends
4. AWS EKS and other AWS services for infrastructure
5. High observability throughout, with metrics, tracing, and logs.

What we offer

1. Make a real impact – Your work directly improves farmers’ lives, animal welfare, and global sustainability.
2. Join a high-growth startup – We’re ambitious, well-financed, and at an exciting early stage.
3. Work with experts – Collaborate with specialists across mechanics, electronics, embedded software, backend, and frontend development.
