Proficient in one or more modern front-end frameworks (we use React + Typescript)
Technical leadership, leading project teams, and setting technical direction
Proficient in server-side Javascript
BS in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
Strong fundamentals in computer science (e.g algorithms, data structures)
Someone who enjoys continuously shipping and delivering product features to our customers
Knowledgeable and effective at delivering high quality code with an eye for user experience and good design
An avid enhancer of a productive and collaborative team, who is able to communicate technical concepts clearly and efficiently
A great team player: someone with a point of view, who knows how to humbly express it

Desirable

Data visualization and relevant tools (e.g D3, Highcharts, Mapbox)
Cloud services (we use AWS)

What the job involves

The Gro Application team is responsible for building our client-facing products, designing and owning the tools, services and interfaces that power internal and external applications
We work closely with the Product and Design teams, continuously delivering new features and tools that help our clients better consume data, gain knowledge and generate value from our data
Lead the end-to-end development of our client-facing products (e.g webapps, tools, integrations), building scalable UIs and services that connect data and user interfaces
Explore new methods and technologies to improve user experience and system performance (we’re data-heavy)
Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver on the broader product vision

Our take

In 2022 alone there was a record 18 disasters related to climate in the US. Expand that snapshot globally and the issue is only more pronounced, and is getting worse as the years progress. Losses run into the multi-billions, and those are just the ones we can put a price on. So Gro Intelligence is, unfortunately, establishing itself at a good time for business. The company leverages AI and big data analysis to help organisations and individuals take informed action to tackle and navigate climate change and food security.

These issues have a profound logistical and economic impact on business of all stripes. So the addressable market is huge, and Gro Intelligence has netted a substantial portion of it: it counts top-tier companies like Unilever, Wells Fargo, and BNP Paribas as clients.

Gro Intelligence’s particular focus on food security will push its work further into the spotlight, too: food inflation is on the rise as major exporters limit exports or raise taxes, and this will only be exacerbated by the situation in Ukraine. Gro Intelligence’s ability to make rapid and incisive analytical developments to its platform will help it remain a crucial tool going forwards.
