Senior Full Stack Engineer

About Ag Zen

AgZen is a fast-growing precision agriculture company headquartered in Somerville, MA, built on MIT research and focused on one problem: making crop spraying more efficient. Our flagship product, Real Coverage, is the world's first system that measures and controls droplet coverage at the leaf level, giving growers real-time visibility into spray performance and cutting chemical and water use by up to 50% without sacrificing yield.

We are a small, technically deep team working at the intersection of fluid mechanics, computer vision, AI, and real agricultural environments. If you want to build technology with measurable impact on how the world grows food, this is the place to do it.

At AgZen, you’ll be joining a multidisciplinary engineering team that includes hardware, electrical, and software engineers working together to transform traditional agricultural practices. Our mission centers on retrofitting existing sprayers with advanced technology that enables smarter pesticide use through data collection and real-time insights.

As part of the software team, you will help design, build, and maintain dealer-facing applications that run directly on sprayers around the world as well as our cloud portal that enables access to data and additional support mechanisms. Your work will support a wide range of users, from internal team members to farmers and potential business partners, helping them better understand and optimize chemical usage in agriculture.

This role is located in Somerville, MA (Boston area) with work required to be in-person. Travel to support AgZen's major manufacturing builds (seasonal) will be required.
