Job Description:
FarmAfield, an ag-tech startup in Lincoln, is looking for a software development intern to join its team. This is a paid internship starting Summer 2021 or as soon as possible, with opportunities for continued part-time work during fall and spring semesters. Remote work and flexible hours are available. Compensation ranges from $15-20/hour depending on experience.
FarmAfield’s small team (~10 people) and fast pace means team members are often faced with high levels of uncertainty and ambiguity when solving problems.

Consequently, FarmAfield is looking for an individual that can thrive in uncertainty and embraces the challenge of wearing many hats across multiple disciplines, who is not intimidated by open-ended challenges, and who brings a hunger to attack complex problems quickly and systematically.
Responsibilities:
- Work daily within a team of 5 remote developers
- Provide weekly progress reports to managers and other team members
- Take ownership of projects and be accountable for their completion
- Rapidly learn about and implement 3rd party tools to improve site performance and address customer needs
