Description

About Ambrook We started Ambrook (ambrook.com) with a mission to help farmers become more profitable and more sustainable. There is a virtuous cycle between profitability and sustainability in many natural resource industries, especially agriculture. Better soil health, water conservation, and climate resilience often leads to lower costs, increased yields, and price premiums for crops or livestock in the market. To reduce the upfront cost and knowledge barriers to implementing these practices, we are tackling an overlooked part of the operation: back office paperwork and financials. There's tremendous room for improvement on existing software and time-consuming paperwork shuffling in the farm back office. Over time, we'll expand beyond agriculture to drive sustainable practices in other natural resource industries: fisheries, forestry, water, energy, mining, and more. We're a Series A startup backed by top investors (Thrive Capital, Homebrew, Designer Fund, BoxGroup, and more) and are looking for mission- and values-aligned individuals to join our fully remote founding team. The opportunity Ambrook is building a world-class team. As one of our first Ambrook engineers, you'll help drive our technical decisions and influence our product direction for years to come, with the goal of making agriculture more sustainable and profitable.
