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 web applications using a modern web stack consisting of Python, Flask, TypeScript, React, and PostgreSQL hosted on AWS

Build user-facing features for our suite of applications by implementing React Components in Typescript and integrating with REST 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 the Team:

You will be a part of a small but mighty team of fun loving solid engineers. People on the team find it a safe place to learn and grow. We provide direct feedback to each other regularly (including to your manager) and help each other improve. We have regular coffee breaks on zoom where we chat about the mysteries of the universe.

The team owns some of the core workflows in Marketplace around contract checkout and contract negotiations. We handle the critical flow from when a grower accepts a bid on Marketplace to when it actually becomes a contract. We are building most components of this workflow from scratch. About Indigo:

We’re building the technology to feed the world and fight climate change. We believe that through teamwork we can achieve more to benefit all of agriculture: from farmers to consumers to the planet.
