At nurture.farm, we aspire to revolutionize the farming ecosystem by leveraging cutting-edge technology, scalable systems, and the best scientific practices. Our mission is to empower millions of farmers to achieve sustainable, profitable farming.

As a Senior Application Engineer, you will work on building robust back-end systems that power our scalable, distributed applications. This role involves solving challenging technical problems, designing complex algorithms, and architecting large-scale systems to process and analyze massive datasets in real time.

Were seeking passionate engineers who thrive on deep technical challenges and are motivated by building systems that make a real-world impact. This role is focused on back-end engineering with elements of data science and distributed computing.

Key Responsibilities :

- Design and implement highly scalable, distributed back-end systems that process and manage large-scale data efficiently.

- Architect application frameworks and algorithms to support scalable and performant software solutions.

- Lead technical projects from inception to delivery, including task planning, system design, implementation, and testing.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate machine learning models, optimize system performance, and improve application outcomes.

- Drive engineering best practices, conduct detailed code reviews, and ensure the delivery of high-quality solutions.

- Identify and implement optimization opportunities in complex mathematical and data-centric algorithms.

- Own technical decision-making and product roadmaps for back-end services and infrastructure.

- Innovate in areas like data modeling, distributed computing, networking, and storage to enhance application efficiency.

Minimum Qualifications :

- B.Tech in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

- 7+ years of back-end engineering experience, including hands-on experience in building distributed systems at scale.

- 2+ years of experience managing engineering teams with a focus on application development and technical excellence.

- Expertise in designing scalable APIs and microservices.

- Strong proficiency in back-end programming languages such as Python, Java, or Go.

- In-depth knowledge of distributed computing frameworks, storage systems, and network protocols.

Preferred Qualifications :

- 4+ years of experience leading complex, technically challenging projects across functional teams.

- Strong understanding of application frameworks, including TensorFlow, PyTorch, or similar.

- Familiarity with statistical analysis, optimization techniques (linear, convex programming), and experiment design.

- Experience with graph theory, spectral graph theory, or numerical methods is a strong plus.

- Hands-on experience with cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure.

- Knowledge of AgriTech and its application to farming is a bonus but not mandatory.
