About Aerobotics Aerobotics is a Vision AI company helping fruit producers get more from every harvest. Our models are trained on the world's largest fruit dataset, creating a flywheel that continuously improves the product for our customers. We started with fruit sizing and expanded into forecasting and grading, and we're now developing full yield estimation. Our platform delivers accurate, transparent insights across the fruit supply chain. To date, we've analysed over 400 million trees from the sky, and more than 300 million fruit up close, helping farmers make critical operational and agricultural decisions that maximise yield and efficiency. Our global team of 50+ professionals is headquartered in Cape Town, with commercial teams in the USA, Australia, Europe, and South America. The Opportunity This is an open application where we are interested in engaging with talented Software Engineers for future openings based in Cape Town (hybrid work setup). We seek highly proactive thinkers who love building or enhancing products in an iterative and fast-moving environment. Your code will influence decisions about actual physical crops growing in actual orchards, and you'll do it with a team that values execution, pragmatism, and impact over process and perfection. In our tech team, you will be bringing our state-of-the-art AI models to farming operations around the world. Our users include growers, packhouse managers, fruit exporters and business decision makers. You will collaborate closely with our product team to gain a deep understanding of our users - to bring them the features they want the most. You will play a key role in our effort to deliver technology that solves some of agriculture's hardest problems. What you’ll need * Demonstrated experience of solving complex technical problems at tech and product-driven companies * Practical experience building production software systems * Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field (Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline) * Highly proactive & critical approach to problem solving * Works independently and takes initiative on projects from idea to execution * Ability to move fast in an environment where things are sometimes loosely defined and may have competing priorities or deadlines * Ability to naturally balance technical exploration with practical delivery - you know when to go deep and when to ship * Proficiency in our technologies (see below on what this looks like) * Some experience with relational databases * Ambition & strong motivation to make an impact in AgTech * Ability to work in-person with our team 3 days a week Our Tech Stack We use Python (Django REST Framework) for our backend, React/TypeScript/React Native on the frontend, and modern ML technologies (Hugging Face, Vision Transformers, etc). Our infrastructure lives on AWS with the standard modern tooling around it. But honestly, if you have the problem-solving skills and software intuition we're looking for, specific technologies matter less than your ability to pick things up quickly. Application Process This is an open application so please submit your CV and respond to the application questions. If we see a good potential fit then we’ll reach out to invite you for an initial introduction. Unfortunately, we are unable to support visa sponsorship, so the suitable candidate requires permanent working rights in South Africa.
