Breedr; enabling the livestock supply chain to trade smarter, finance faster and grow
better animals.

This agtech start up is breaking ground in the $1 trillion global livestock trading industry to
bring livestock trading into the digital age.
Breedr is building technology which connects farmers, processors and food retailers
together to deliver supply chain transparency, traceability and improvements in the
economic and environmental impacts of livestock production. We are developing a suite
of tools which will help farmers make better informed decisions about sourcing, breeding
and animal management, including animal health to deliver a production base fit for the
future.
We are now looking to extend our team to deliver significant positive impacts to the
industry.

Job Description
As the lead backend engineer, you will work in tandem with the head of engineering and the
rest of the development team, to ensure that we deliver a world class platform that
supports Breedr’s business model
We’re a small and passionate team, so you will be instrumental in defining the technical
direction of the platform. We’re building an engineering team that loves agency, and gets it,
so you will be self driven and keen pick up and own parts of the platform. Our engineers
own the code they write, so they get to decide on how it’s written and what it runs on. We
are a data company, so on top of all that, you’ll bring experience that helps us design and
implement our data pipeline.
This is a remote role, based in the UK and possible commute to London 1 day a week if
required.
