<br>
Solum is currently hiring world-class software engineers to develop
back-end and front-end systems to revolutionize agriculture. We build
advanced soil nutrient measurement systems that enable farmers and
growers to get accurate, high-density information on their soils.
Farmers can use this information to apply crop inputs (such as
fertilizer) more efficiently, which can save them a substantial amount
of money, increase their crop yields, and greatly reduce their
environmental impact.<br>
We are looking for talented and passionate software engineers to design
and build our data management systems, develop advanced analysis tools
to leverage this data for agricultural management, and create web-based
front-ends for data analysis and visualization. Solum's soil nutrient
measurement technology is the first of its kind to enable high-density,
high-accuracy measurements scalable to millions and millions of acres,
creating a rich set of information to enable quantitative,
information-driven management of farm operations. We are an early stage
company, looking to hire experienced, self-directed developers to
design and build our software platform.<br><br>
About Solum <br>
<br>Solum is a Khosla Ventures backed company, based in Mountain View,
California, that is developing a scalable measurement platform that will
provide better, faster, higher-density information on millions of acres
of farmland. Our patent-pending system can be used to more efficiently
manage crop inputs, increase crop yields, and dramatically reduce the
environmental impact of farming by reducing fertilizer runoff.<br>
