AgriTech Platform Developer Job Glasgow area,Scotland UK,Software Development

Perfect role for a mid professional looking to grow their Agri Tech career in Glasgow.

Scotland's food and farming sector is under pressure to produce more with less land, less water and fewer people willing to do the work by hand. The company behind this Agri Tech Platform Developer role builds software that helps growers and agribusinesses make sense of sensor data, satellite imagery and crop yield patterns in something close to real time. It's a small team with big ambitions, and Glasgow gives them easy reach into both the tech talent pool and Scotland's rural producer base.

Here’s

what you’ll be doing:

Building and maintaining features across the platform's data ingestion, processing and visualisation layers
Writing clean, tested code for services that turn raw field sensor data into decisions a farmer can actually use
Working directly with agronomists and customers to understand what the platform gets wrong before it becomes a support ticket
Improving system reliability as usage scales through the growing season, when traffic spikes hardest
Contributing to technical decisions on architecture, tooling and third-party integrations
Shipping fast, then iterating based on what the data and the users tell you

Here are the skills you'll need:

A few years' commercial experience building and shipping web applications or backend services
Solid grounding in at least one modern language or framework, plus a genuine interest in picking up whatever the platform needs next
Comfort working with APIs, databases and cloud infrastructure without needing detailed hand holding
An ability to talk to non-technical users and translate their problems into working software
Curiosity about agriculture, sustainability or environmental data, even without a farming background
Good judgement about when to build something properly and when a quick fix will do

Key perks and benefits:

Salary of £37,000 to £49,500, depending on experience
Hybrid working from Glasgow, with real flexibility on hours
Equity in the business, so you share in what you help build
A learning and development budget you're actually encouraged to use
A flat structure where your ideas reach decision-makers directly, not through five layers of management

Why pursue a career in Agri Tech?

Agriculture is one of the last major industries to go properly digital, and that gap is closing fast. Glasgow has quietly become a decent base for this kind of work, close enough to Scotland's farming regions to stay grounded in the real problem while still offering the tech scene you'd expect from a major city. Get in at mid-level now and there's a clear path toward senior and lead roles as the sector matures.
