I’m partnering on a really interesting engineering role supporting a modern, event-driven microservices platform that powers insights for farmers, tractors, and field operations across the U.S.

This team sits at the core of the platform—owning authentication, farm/field operations data, and the services everything else depends on. If this team breaks… everything breaks. So they value precision, rigor, and strong engineering fundamentals.

💰 Pay Rate: $50-60/hr W2 (flexible)

🌎 Fully remote (U.S.-based)

📅 Target start: mid-July (7/13 or later)

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

Building and supporting Python-based APIs in AWS (Lambdas, API Gateway)
Working in a microservices + event-driven architecture
Owning tickets across user stories, bugs, and production issues
Partnering with customer success + platform teams to troubleshoot and improve systems
Contributing to authentication/authorization integrations across platforms
Exposure to geospatial data/tools (nice-to-have, not a dealbreaker)

When reviewing candidates, they’re focused on 3 core things:

Python (API development in AWS) – this is the bread and butter

Authentication experience (Microsoft Entra / Azure AD / B2C)

Geospatial exposure (Mapbox, ESRI, etc. = bonus, not required)

Team + Environment

Team of 5 engineers (mostly senior/principal level)
Looking for someone who can work independently but lean on strong mentors
Highly collaborative, remote-first team (primarily CST schedule, 10am standups)
Work is ticket-driven, but with real ownership and impact

What Makes This Role Unique

You’re working on systems where accuracy and attention to detail are critical
Exposure to complex integrations across multiple platforms/clouds
Opportunity to learn from deeply tenured, highly technical teammates
Blend of backend engineering + data + real-world impact in agriculture

Why People Stay

The team is part of a broader R&D-focused environment, working alongside experts in areas like DNA sequencing, microbiology, and agriculture science.

It’s a mission-driven space focused on:

Sustainability & climate-positive agriculture
Improving farmer outcomes
Innovation through advanced research

Interview Process

1-hour interview (may include additional team members)
Quick feedback turnaround

If you’re a Python engineer with AWS + auth experience looking for something a little more meaningful than typical backend work, this is worth a conversation.
