Summary

We transcend agriculture and drive the next ever-green revolution; sustainably intensifying agriculture & making it socially just. We achieve that by shifting global agriculture and liberating farmers with information and knowledge to reduce costs, enhance yields and linking the farmer back to our planet’s soul; in that we create flourishing ecosystems and deliver social equity.

Practically: MySmartFarm is a data management and services company that helps farmers, who are frustrated with the collection and interpretation of information from multiple sources. We automatically collect all kinds of data and aggregate it in order to present usable information for each field on an easy to use mobile dashboard.

The culture that drives us is our compassion, for both big and small farmers across the world. It drives our development for sensible solutions, concerned with the realities of everyday farming. Our diligence, coupled with steady hard work and strict discipline for accuracy, detail, quality, and a willingness to engage in service, will gain us client-trust. Our invaluable information will transform conventional farming practices and result in fertile and healthy soils and plants and sustainable social equity with thriving eco-systems on whose services the farmers depend.

Our five key values are: Empathy, Practicality, Reliability, Rigor, and Intelligence

We want you to understand that we are serious about your position in our young and small team and really want to make sure you fit well to us, so that also you can feel confident at your new workplace. As part of our employment process, you will be receiving:

  1. a short call from the ex-lead developer of Shazaam to check your Java ability
  2. an online habits + skill assessment (~40+20min)
  3. an email to assist with your reference checking, which is very important to us

When you look like a good fit we proceed into a last matching phase. This includes:

  1. an online personality survey (~30min) and after that
  2. you come through for an hour interview alongside a one-hour practical assessment

... And if you are good, really good, you're selected as one of a team that will change the world in how it works, how it becomes sustainable and how we start to eat healthier.
