Role
Who you are
- We look for builders. You’re hungry to learn, unafraid to break things, figure out how fast you can really learn and are curious about everything that makes complex systems work. You’ll need:
- Full Stack Skills: Proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript, React, and modern web frameworks. Comfortable working across frontend and backend
- Database Knowledge: Experience with SQL and understanding of database design principles
- Builder Mentality: You've built projects beyond coursework. Personal projects, open source contributions, hackathon wins. Show us what you've made
- Fast Learner: Excited to dive into unfamiliar domains like fermentation biology, industrial automation, and food science
- Mission Driven: Our goal of revolutionizing food production genuinely excites you
Desirable
- Python for data analysis and automation
- Time-series databases and data visualization (Grafana, Plotly, D3.js)
- Machine learning and data science techniques
- Systems programming languages (C++ or Rust)
- Industrial protocols (OPC UA, Modbus) or SCADA systems
- Experience with hardware or embedded systems
- Biology, chemistry, or food science background
- Previous startup experience
What the job involves
- This internship offers a rare opportunity to build core infrastructure for a new industry. You’ll work at the intersection of software, biology, and automation. And you’ll own high-impact projects that shape how the next generation of food is made
- Depending on your background and interests, you might work on:
- Build automated analysis pipelines in Python
- Connect lab instruments and sensors directly to BrewBase
- Design ETL workflows that turn raw data into insights
- Create dashboards for live fermentation monitoring
- Build tools that spot trends and anomalies at a glance
- Make complex biological processes readable and intuitive
- Bridge the gap between OT and IT systems
- Expand BrewBase into a full SCADA platform
- Enable two-way communication with PLCs and control equipment
- Apply machine learning to fermentation modelling
- Build soft sensors that infer hidden process parameters
- Prototype LLM-based tools for experiment design and troubleshooting
- Develop tools for recipe management and sensory data tracking
- Connect formulations with functionality and application results
- Current stack: Postgres, React, TypeScript, shadcn, Python (and plenty of room for your input)
- Expected Outcomes:
- Shipped production features used daily by our fermentation and food science teams
- Mastered the full stack, from frontend to automation systems
- Built novel infrastructure that doesn’t exist anywhere else
- Learned deeply about fermentation, bioprocessing, and food production, domains few software engineers ever encounter
Our take
The climate crisis has heightened the urgency to develop alternative food sources, aiming to protect our planet and efficiently sustain the ever-growing global population. With a new approach to protein production, Farmless seeks to positively change the way we produce food for a better future.
The Dutch startup has developed the means to make a 'carbon negative' protein that requires between 10 to 25 times less agricultural land compared to conventional plant-based protein. Farmless makes its protein using a fermentation platform that utilises a liquid feedstock from renewable energy sources instead of sugar.
Founder Adnan Oner believes Farmless has the potential to end factory farming, revitalising our planet's ecosystem, and mitigate gigatons of carbon emissions. Although this is an ambitious claim, the company's substantial support from a number of investors so early on has propelled Farmless out of stealth mode and into the public eye, and highlights the potential it has to bring significant positive change to the agricultural industry.
