Software Engineering Co-op

This is a temporary/seasonal position running from January 2027 through June 2027.

About the role

At AgZen, you’ll be joining a multidisciplinary engineering team that includes hardware, electrical, and software engineers working together to transform traditional agricultural practices. Our mission centers on retrofitting existing sprayers with advanced technology that enables smarter pesticide use through data collection and real-time insights.

As part of the software team, which spans everything from firmware to computer vision to general software engineering, you’ll help design, build, and maintain the user-facing applications that run directly on sprayers around the world, as well as our cloud portal that enables folks to review and interact with their data. Your work will support a wide range of users, from internal team members to farmers and potential business partners, helping them better understand and optimize chemical usage in agriculture.

What you’ll do

• Ship real features, fast! Design, build, test, and deploy changes in hours, not weeks, without layers of red tape.
• Work across the full stack, from embedded code on field equipment to cloud services and user-facing web apps and learn the whole thing hands-on.
• Collaborate on features sparked by teammates, company leadership, and real customer needs - then watch your work get used in the field in real time.
• Get direct exposure to customers and see how your code performs live over satellite connections in actual farming environments.
• Test your work in a hardware-equipped lab that simulates real-world conditions — no waiting on others to see results.
• Push the limits of what’s possible with edge computing by creating the most user-friendly touch interface in modern agriculture tech.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven software development experience through at least one prior internship or co-op.
• Interest and flexibility to work across both frontend and backend technologies — we’re looking for curious generalists eager to grow.
• Willingness to learn new tools, dive into unfamiliar systems, and take ownership of real-world problems.
• Capability to conceptualize and and execute on projects both collaboratively and independently.
• Alignment with our mission — we value teammates who care about sustainability and want to make a real impact in agriculture and the environment.
