Agricultural Technology Developer

Job description

About

Step into this Agricultural Technology Developer role and build something that matters in AgriTech.

UK farming is under pressure to produce more with less land, less labour and tighter margins, and the technology behind that shift is being built right now. This business is an established name in AgriTech, the kind of enterprise operation that runs large-scale projects rather than one-off pilots. Based in Aberdeen, it sits close to some of the country's most productive agricultural land and a growing cluster of precision farming expertise.

Here's what you'll be doing:

Design and build software for precision agriculture systems, from sensor data pipelines through to farmer-facing dashboards

Work with IoT devices and field sensors to capture soil, crop and weather data at scale

Develop and maintain APIs that connect farm machinery, satellite imagery and data platforms

Debug and optimise existing agricultural technology systems used across live commercial sites

Collaborate with agronomists and product teams to turn field requirements into working software

Document technical decisions so the wider engineering team can build on your work

Here are the skills you'll need:

Solid commercial experience in software development, ideally with some exposure to IoT or data-heavy systems

Comfortable working across a modern backend stack and integrating third-party APIs

Experience handling large datasets, geospatial data is a bonus but not essential

Good communicator. You'll need to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical colleagues

Genuine curiosity about agriculture or environmental science helps you fit in fast

Comfortable owning a piece of work end to end, from spec to deployment

Key perks and benefits:

£36,000 to £54,500 depending on experience

Hybrid working, with the flexibility to split time between home and the Aberdeen office

Private medical and dental insurance

Enhanced pension scheme and performance-based bonuses

Comprehensive benefits package and structured career development within a large, established employer

Why pursue a career in AgriTech?

Food production has to change, and software is a big part of how it changes. AgriTech is one of the few sectors where a developer's code has a direct line to something as basic as what ends up on a plate. Aberdeen's position near major agricultural regions, combined with its engineering talent pool, makes it a genuinely sensible base for anyone serious about building a long-term career in this space.
