Perfect role for a mid professional looking to grow their AgriTech career in Austin.
Farming has gone digital fast, and the businesses building that shift sit at an odd crossroads of soil science and software.
This Agricultural Technology Developer role sits inside an established SME that's spent years building tools for growers and supply chains, not another app for the sake of it.
Austin's agricultural technology scene has grown quietly alongside the city's tech boom, and this is a company riding that wave properly.
Here's what you'll be doing: Build and maintain software that tracks crop data, soil sensors, and yield forecasting across client farms Write clean, testable code for the platforms this Agricultural Technology Developer role supports, from field to dashboard Work with hardware teams to integrate IoT sensor feeds into existing agricultural systems Debug issues reported from live deployments, often under real-world field conditions Collaborate with agronomists and data scientists to translate farming needs into working features Document technical decisions clearly enough that the next developer doesn't have to guess Here are the skills you'll need: Solid experience with at least one modern backend language (Python, Java, or similar) Comfort working with APIs, databases, and sensor data pipelines Some exposure to IoT or embedded systems is a strong plus for this Agricultural Technology Developer position Ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical colleagues without talking down to them Good instincts for debugging systems that run outdoors, where connectivity and conditions aren't always kind A genuine curiosity about agriculture.
You don't need a farming background.
You do need to care how the tech actually gets used Key perks and benefits: Salary of $47,500 to $70,500, depending on experience Hybrid working based in Austin, with flexibility built into the week Private medical insurance and pension contribution Generous annual leave plus genuine flexible working, not just the phrase Clear progression within a growing, structured business Why pursue a career in AgriTech?
AgriTech is one of the few sectors where software directly affects food supply, water use, and farmer livelihoods.
That's not small stuff.
Austin has become a genuine hub for this kind of work, with agricultural technology firms sitting alongside the city's broader tech industry, and the people who get in now at mid-level have real runway ahead of them as the sector matures.
