Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

Welcome to Perennial.

Perennial is a climate tech company on a mission to revolutionize the way the world approaches regenerative agriculture through the power of AI and remote sensing. Globally, soils are recognized by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as one of the largest, fastest potential methods of mitigating climate change by drawing down 3-5 billion metric tons per year of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Perennial is scaling up the agriculture industry's ability to fulfill that potential by providing purpose-built software and scalable measurement & verification technology that helps our customers incentivize regenerative agriculture globally. Our flagship product is the world's most advanced remote measurement technology for soil carbon sequestration and emissions, which fuses machine learning, ground observations, and satellite data to map soil carbon content from field to continent scale.

We've raised $25M+ to date from leading investors including Temasek, Bloomberg, and the Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund, and we serve customers throughout the regenerative agriculture value chain. At Perennial, you will work in a mission-driven and collaborative environment alongside a diverse team with backgrounds spanning science, technology, carbon markets, and agriculture.
