Careers

Build the future of
precision agriculture from the soil up.

At Biota, engineers, agronomists, designers, and field teams work together to solve one of the world's most fundamental problems: how to grow more with less. This isn't a typical corporate job. You'll work in a fast-moving startup where ideas become prototypes, prototypes become products, and products reach real fields and real farmers.

"Ideas become prototypes. Prototypes become products. Products reach real farmers."
Why Join Us

What makes working here
different.

Women-Led
Founded and led by women since 2018 — a startup culture shaped by people who've actually built things, not just managed them.
Real Deployment
What you build doesn't sit in a slide deck. It ships to real farmers, in real fields, often within months of the first prototype.
Ownership Early
Small teams mean real responsibility fast — no waiting years to touch something that matters.
One Ecosystem
Hardware, software, agronomy, and field ops all under one roof — you'll see how your piece connects to the whole.
What Biota Works On

Where hardware, agronomy,
and real field data meet.

We focus on developing technologies that deliver practically measured and calculated outcomes, not just predictions. Our approach prioritizes field-validated measurements, simulation-based crop understanding, and decision tools that farmers and agronomists can rely on with confidence.

Our goal is simple: more measured insight, less guesswork.
Precision farm technology & field measurement devices
Embedded hardware & electronics development
Agronomy, soil science & nutrient modeling
Simulation-based crop growth & automated farm systems
Mobile & web applications for field use
On-ground deployment & farmer engagement
Data-backed advisory systems built on measured inputs

From research and prototyping to field deployment, every team member contributes to building tools that operate in real agricultural environments. If you enjoy building systems where engineering, agronomy, and measurable outcomes come together, you'll find meaningful work here.

Common Questions

Before you apply.

It depends on the role, but we move quickly once we're aligned — our five-step process is designed to avoid the long, multi-week loops common at larger companies.

Yes. We care more about curiosity, ownership, and demonstrated ability to build than about formal titles or credentials alone — that applies across engineering, design, and field roles.

Real work on live projects — product development, firmware, field deployments — not fetch-coffee busywork. You'll be contributing to things that ship, not shadowing from the sidelines.

Yes — the roles listed above reflect the skills we typically need, not a fixed set of openings. If you think you'd be useful here, tell us what you want to work on.
