Software Engineer

Apollo Agriculture, a pioneering agri-fintech platform, is revolutionizing small-scale farming across Africa through innovative technology solutions. As a Software Engineer in our Amsterdam office, you'll join a mission-driven team that's already impacting over 200,000 farmers in Kenya and Zambia, with revenue approaching $30M.

The role presents unique engineering challenges at the intersection of technology and agriculture. You'll be working with Scala, Play Framework, and Cats to build robust systems that operate in some of the most remote areas on Earth. This isn't just another software engineering position – it's an opportunity to solve real-world problems where technology infrastructure is limited, requiring innovative solutions for challenges like poor cell coverage and limited mobile hardware.

As part of our engineering team, you'll collaborate closely with Product, Data Science, and Operations teams, implementing practical solutions that directly impact farmers' lives. The position requires a senior-level engineer with 5+ years of experience, strong skills in Scala or similar languages, and expertise in cloud computing and SQL databases.

What makes this role unique is the combination of technical challenges and meaningful impact. You'll be working with a team backed by prestigious investors like Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and Softbank Vision Fund, alongside partners like Bayer and Yara. The company culture values autonomy, transparency, and a problem-solving mindset, offering competitive compensation and significant ownership in your work.

This is an ideal opportunity for a seasoned engineer who wants to apply their skills to make a tangible difference in agricultural sustainability and financial inclusion. You'll be part of a collaborative team that's not just building software, but transforming lives through technology.
