Full Stack Engineer, Marketplace

As a full stack Engineer on the Marketplace team, you’ll create responsive web applications that integrate with a rich ecosystem of services to power our Marketplace platform. 

Indigo Marketplace is changing how food is produced and sold—in the U.S. now, and soon around the world. Today, growers don’t have incentive to grow higher-quality crops. In fact, since grain is commoditized, growers’ main incentive is to simply grow as much volume as possible. 

Our Marketplace flips the current model on its head by connecting growers directly with buyers and preserving crop identity. This means that growers get paid a premium for growing organic and similarly desirable crops. 

Your expertise in interface design and software architecture will help us deliver a world-class application to our growing suite of world-class marketplace products.

As a full stack Engineer at Indigo you’ll:

• Help design and implement performant APIs using a modern web stack consisting of TypeScript, GraphQL, and Apollo
• Build user-facing features for our suite of applications by implementing React Components in Typescript and integrating with GraphQL APIs
• Lead features end to end, from technical design to implementation to deployment to production support, communicating risks and issues to stakeholders, and working together to find a path forward
• Contribute to our internal tools and libraries, looking to leverage shared components, design patterns, and infrastructure wherever possible
• Ensure that all APIs and applications are adequately tested in an automated framework, including functional and performance tests
• Review code, have your code reviewed, and learn from other engineers
• Collaborate with product managers, back-end engineers, and data science engineers to spec, build, test, and deploy high quality code in the cloud

About Indigo

What if nature could be harnessed to help farmers sustainably feed the planet? Since 2014, Indigo has questioned agriculture's full value chain to improve grower profitability, environmental sustainability, and consumer health. The company’s scientific discoveries and digital innovations have amplified new value from soil to sale, benefiting more than 10,000 growers to date. Indigo is also the company behind The Terraton Initiative, a global effort to drawdown one trillion tons of atmospheric carbon dioxide by unlocking the potential of agricultural soils. In 2019, Indigo was ranked #1 on CNBC’s Disruptor 50 list.
