Senior Full Stack Engineer

About Petrichor:

$1.5 trillion of agricultural commodities move around the world every year. They help feed us, fuel us, and clothe us. Petrichor’s vision is to enable any food manufacturer, agribusiness, or raw materials processor to build, scale, and manage their multi-tiered supply chains for the modern, global economy.
Our mission is to make commerce easy and accessible for food companies and agribusinesses so they can make better decisions about when to buy, when to sell, and how to manage risk for their ingredient supply chains, from anywhere in the world.
We accomplish this by building connected software and services for the business functions associated with the physical and financial flow of raw materials. Petrichor integrates, automates, and provides real-time visibility into these information flows and trading processes to enable more responsive, efficient, and sustainable supply chains.

The mission of the Senior Full Stack Developer is to design, engineer, and release successive modules on our platform. The Senior Full Stack Developer will have line responsibility for supporting the initial planning and design through to implementation and maintenance of some of our core features, such as logistics visibility and inventory management. This individual will work directly with product, sales, and engineering teams to support continued feature development and additional releases over the next several years.

We’re humbled to be responsible for mission-critical elements of our customers’ business operations. We thrive in going after complex, dynamic, and multi-faceted problems. We are looking for those who want to join a high-performance, fast-paced, customer-focused culture.
