BackEnd Python Software Developer (CEST Timezone)

At HEMAV, we are an AgriTech StartUp founded in 2012, working passionately on Data Science in the agrifood industry with the purpose of generating more food with less environmental impact.

We use a unique approach, based on Artificial Intelligence using satellite technology and other data sources (drone, meteo, soil, etc.). Users of our technology leverage their decision-making systems on information and knowledge generated on a field-by-field basis, with customized per-user models.

The HEMAV family is currently composed of a team of around 40 persons with offices in Spain, Brazil, Peru, and the USA. We have around 50 regional partners distributed between more than 17 countries in Europe, America, and Africa. More than 5,000 users have access to the platform with service in 6 million hectares.

HEMAV values are:

• Teamwork: We are a family and 'fly and process' together.
• Passion: We wake up every morning to change the world.
• Simplicity: Less is more. Technology should simplify our lives, not complicate it.
• Excellence: We pursue our best version and learn from our values.
• Integrity: What you see is what we are.
• Innovation: We have a creative attitude against challenges.

LAYERS, our software, generates key yield forecasting data. In addition, it offers analytics to the agricultural sector with a large direct impact. For example, clients can improve the efficiency in treatments (sowing, fertilization, irrigation, etc.) and generate estimations in yield (tonnes per hectare), as well as quality estimates (e.g. soybeans protein quantity) for different crops. We know that producers, the agroindustry itself, or even insurance companies and traders in the agronomical sector are facing three main challenges, with a large impact on their gross margin:

• Crop Management
• Production yield and logistics
• Economic yield
• Climate change risk assessment

LAYERS helps minimize these risks through high-quality continuous monitoring and predictions. We want to make LAYERS the core of all yield-related decisions in the agribusiness value-chain using data and statistics. Our slogan is “Reshaping the future increasing land efficiency”.

The LAYERS Product Team is the main area of the company, where 13 persons are distributed in four squads: DevOps, BackEnd, UX/UI, and Data Intelligence. Three-four weeks sprints are combined with sprint demos where all the company is updated with the news in the product by all the members of the product team.
