Agurotech positions herself as a farm data platform and aims to be the go-to provider of farm intelligence and recommendations to improve farmers’ yields and optimize use of resources.

We are looking for someone who is talented in data analysis and modelling. Your job will be to understand and build the latest scientific models, to organize and analyze large amounts of data and to apply cutting edge data analysis techniques. The data consists of sensor measurements for different soil types and crops and user data generated by our App. Under guidance of the company founders you will perform key analyses that contribute to our understanding of the agricultural process, technology performance and user experience. Your analyses will be used to build our products and to improve them and will serve as knowledge base for decision making on new investments.
