About the role

We're building the next generation of climate-aware irrigation scheduling tools for large-scale farm operators managing thousands of acres across variable rainfall regions. The person in this role will design models that combine soil moisture sensors, weather forecasts, and crop-specific water needs into a daily irrigation schedule farm managers can trust without double-checking it themselves. You'll join a cross-functional squad with defined sprints and clear ownership, working closely with agronomists to make sure every recommendation makes sense on the ground, not just in a spreadsheet.

Responsibilities

  • Build irrigation scheduling models combining sensor and weather data
  • Validate model recommendations against agronomist field feedback
  • Maintain data pipelines processing soil and weather sensor feeds
  • Present model performance updates in biweekly sprint reviews

Requirements

  • 3+ years in data science with strong R or Python statistics skills
  • Experience working with time series or sensor data
  • Interest in agriculture or environmental applications a plus

Benefits

  • Fully remote across US time zones
  • Health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Annual field visit to partner farm operations
