FarmLead is an online platform dedicated to agriculture trade. We are based in Ottawa and active across Canada and the US. As a venture-backed agtech start-up, we are on an exciting journey to revamp our suite of products and bring exceptional value to our end-users.

We are looking for candidates who are excited by the fast pace of a start-up and enjoy working in a small and collaborative work environment. Our product team includes business analysts, product managers, designers and developers working together to build the next great feature.

You will have the opportunity to take charge and be an owner, make mistakes and learn, and figure things out as you go. We support and encourage our team members, feeding off their inspirations and goals, and enabling them to develop and contribute to the success of FarmLead.

About the role As a Senior Full Stack Developer, you are a key member of our development team.
