Senior Software Engineer

Available, affordable, and successfully productive manual labor is the biggest challenge in production agriculture. At Croft, we’ve invented The Agribusiness Workforce Platform - helping over a million farmers, growers, and producers streamline labor management and increase worker success to save their agribusinesses time, money, and hassle. Croft’s easy-to-use B2B SaaS platform automates paper-based, slow, manual, error-prone, complicated, and expensive seasonal labor processes while allowing employers to leverage insights into their active workforce to make more informed decisions about hiring, training, and optimizing teams. As a result, Croft is directly helping enable a more sustainable and affordable food supply to feed our nation.

Reporting Directly to the CTO, the Senior Software Engineer will be the point person for understanding customer feature requests, breaking down these requests into executable units, estimation, making architectural decisions, and delivering a well-tested and robust implementation. This individual will play a key role in helping Croft find technical solutions to customer pain points and build those solutions with exceptional quality. This is an opportunity to be on the ground floor and establish the software and processes that will define the engineering technology choices and culture moving forward.
