About Muddy Machines...

Muddy Machines is a seed-stage robotics company looking to solve the labour challenges found in the Agri-tech industry in a sustainable way.

We combine cutting-edge AI and the latest sensor technologies to create autonomous robots that drive through fields harvesting accurately for up to 16 hours a day with no decline in performance. 

Despite being founded in the middle of the pandemic lockdown in 2020, our first robot was built and on farms within 6 months. We have a second and third product not too far behind, have won multiple Innovate UK grants,  are backed by some prestigious Robotics Investors, and we only just getting started! 

Based out of the Central Research Laboratory in West London, we are a growing, mission-driven team, that have come from a range of backgrounds including Nasa, Dyson, Deliveroo and Airbus to help make farming a zero-emissions industry.

About the role…

We are looking for a talented Full-Stack Engineer who can own the design, development and implementation of our web platform.

You will use your experience to push the boundaries of robotics products in the agricultural industry, and in doing so, become an integral part of the business.

John, one of our Software Engineers had this to say about working at Muddy Machines: When tech companies use hyperbole about how they're going to "change the world",  as a software engineer you will likely end up writing code to optimise online ad sales or speed up database transactions.  At Muddy Machines, it's not hyperbole.  You actually can change the world here by developing software to control climate-friendly crop harvesting robots!"

What you'll be doing…

As a Full Stack Software Engineer at Muddy Machines, you will:

• Own the design, development, and implementation of our web platform
• Develop front end interfaces to control and communicate our robot and harvest information to customers
• Develop the backend server and database structures to securely store our data
• Develop interfaces used to command, control and monitor our robots remotely
• Collaborate with other engineers to deliver industry-defining products

Desirable experience

• Ideally, you will possess a first-class degree in Computer Science or a related field
• Experience developing and using server-side technologies (e.g. Node.js, REST APIs)
• Familiarity with modern front end web development technologies
• SQL and Non-SQL (e.g. MongoDB) Database design
• Working within a Linux development environment
• Cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS)
• Using Git for version control
• A creative and considered approach to problem-solving
• Willingness to work in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment
• Excellent ability to communicate technical knowledge in a clear and understandable manner
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Willingness to travel to our test sites for in-field validation

Remember, this is just a guide, if you don't know about all of the above, but the idea of learning about them excites you then please apply!
