No matter your role, you will be part of a team building the future of agriculture by leading breakthroughs in the innovation and application of science and technology. Our mission is to better the lives of people all over the world and fuel the progress of humankind.
About the Role
We are looking for an AI Engineer / Back-End Developer to join our Scientific Computing team within the Breeding Technologies group. You will work at the intersection of data engineering, computer science, and seed product development. Your focus will be on building and deploying the services, workflows, and tooling that help decision-makers move fast and make well-informed decisions.
This role is central to our AI-enablement strategy. You will help build and deploy platforms that allow teams to seamlessly integrate new algorithms, digital twins, and AI-powered tools into breeding pipelines. Your work ensures these tools are versioned, reproducible, monitored, and ready for real-world use, enabling stakeholders to iterate and innovate with confidence.
Who You Are
You are a pragmatic engineer who takes ownership end-to-end—from design and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and ongoing operations. You thrive in a collaborative environment, can work autonomously, and value sharing expertise and learning from others. You are comfortable bridging software engineering and computational science, optimizing algorithms, designing scalable APIs, and delivering reliable systems.
