Department

About AgZen: AgZen is a fast-growing precision agriculture company headquartered in Somerville, MA, built on MIT research and focused on one problem: making crop spraying more efficient. Our flagship product, RealCoverage, is the world's first system that measures and controls droplet coverage at the leaf level, giving growers real-time visibility into spray performance and cutting chemical and water use by up to 50% without sacrificing yield.

We are a small, technically deep team working at the intersection of fluid mechanics, computer vision, AI, and real agricultural environments. If you want to build technology with measurable impact on how the world grows food, this is the place to do it.

About the Role

At AgZen, you’ll be joining a multidisciplinary engineering team that includes hardware, electrical, and software engineers working together to transform traditional agricultural practices. Our mission centers on retrofitting existing sprayers with advanced technology that enables smarter pesticide use through data collection and real-time insights.

As part of the software team, you will help design, build, and maintain dealer-facing applications that run directly on sprayers around the world as well as our cloud portal that enables access to data and additional support mechanisms. Your work will support a wide range of users, from internal team members to farmers and potential business partners, helping them better understand and optimize chemical usage in agriculture.

What You'll Do

• Design and build scalable, high-performance UI and APIs that integrate with units operating in the field
• Push the limits of what’s possible with edge computing by creating the most user-friendly interfaces in modern agriculture tech.
• Work across the full stack, developing tooling and systems for external dealers and internal product specialists to maximize unit uptime
• Collaborate on features sparked by teammates, company leadership, and real customer needs - then watch your work get used in the field in real time.
• Get direct exposure to customers and see how your code performs live over satellite connections in actual farming environments.
• Test your work in a hardware-equipped lab that simulates real-world conditions — no waiting on others to see results.

What We're Looking For

• A bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of engineering experience building and deploying large-scale systems in production.
• Proficiency with Python or Go is preferred.
• Experience with relational databases (SQL, ORMs).
• Willingness to learn new tools, dive into unfamiliar systems, and take ownership of real-world problems.
• Alignment with our mission — we value teammates who care about sustainability and want to make a real impact in agriculture and the environment.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to make an immediate and visible impact in a fast-growing company
• Early-employee equity
• 401(k) with employer matching at 6 months of employment
• 6 weeks of PTO per calendar year
• 12 paid holidays
• Medical, Dental and Vision insurance
• The salary range for this position is $120,000 - $165,000 depending on skills and qualifications evaluated on a per candidate basis.
