Fullstack Prototyping Engineer

How could technology shape the future relationship between farmers and advisors That is the question our small customer-facing Innovation team is exploring. As a Full-Stack Prototyping Engineer you turn early ideas into working prototypes and put them in the hands of farmers and advisors to learn what really works.

You enjoy moving quickly experimenting and learning through doing. Rather than spending months polishing a concept you build something tangible within days. You bring together front-end back-end AI components and data sources to test ideas in real-life farming environments. Some ideas will prove valuable; others will be stopped. Both outcomes are an important part of the process.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Turn early-stage ideas into working prototypes from a first concept to something farmers and advisors can interact with.
• Build full-stack applications using React TypeScript and connecting front-end experiences with back-end services APIs AI components and data sources.
• Work with Azure SQL and contribute to deploying and running applications on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) using tools such as Terraform and GitLab CI.
• Work directly with farmers and advisors to test prototypes in realistic situations gather feedback and translate observations into improvements or new hypotheses.
• Make pragmatic technical and design decisions while ensuring that prototypes have the necessary foundations for security monitoring and reliability.
• Share insights and validated concepts with the teams responsible for further development and scaling.
