Senior Software Engineer

FarmRaise is revolutionizing agriculture by transforming raw farm data into actionable intelligence. Our platform ingests agronomic, financial, and imagery data - from a farmer’s phone camera to their bank feed - and produces clean, structured insights that power financial access, compliance, and sustainability outcomes.

At FarmRaise, our mission is to transform half of America’s cropland to sustainable practices by 2030. Each day, we’re building data infrastructure and AI-powered tools that make farm operations smarter and more resilient. Our team moves fast, does more with less, and is motivated by driving outcomes that truly matter.

With a lean team and minimal budget, we’ve attracted tens of thousands of producers organically and partnered with agricultural lenders, buyers, and regulators including Blue Diamond Growers, BTC Bank, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. We’re featured as the best all-around farm accounting solution by Nerdwallet and are backed by top investors such as Pear VC, Accel, Susa Ventures, and Better Tomorrow Ventures. Our team includes farmers, farmers’ kids, and technologists passionate about building a more profitable, sustainable future for agriculture.
