Who we are:

Founded in 2010, Semios Group is a leading agricultural technology company helping growers, agronomists, and ag retailers manage over 200 million acres across five countries. Semios pioneered variable-rate pheromone-based mating disruption in orchards and has since expanded into a comprehensive portfolio covering crop protection, water management, frost control, automation, and a leading farm management information system. The Semios Group includes trusted brands such as Semios, Agworld, Altrac, and Greenbook. We continue to drive the next generation of digital agriculture, supporting growers, agronomists and ag retailers in improving sustainability and profitability.

  • Participating in recruitment activities.
  • Overseeing 3rd party test providers.
  • Mentoring team members in problem-solving approaches, tools, and best practices.
  • Providing regular performance feedback to enable employee development and goal achievement.

Product Quality and Operational Excellence

  • Ensure a high level of operational excellence for Semios Group  products through testing, including:
  • Web and mobile applications.
  • Firmware that runs on IoT Devices.
  • Data infrastructure supporting Data Analytics, Research, and data-driven Agriculture products.

Technical Skills & Expertise (Preferred):

  • Web Technologies & Frameworks: Experience and understanding of modern web frameworks and libraries such as React, Angular, or Django or Rails.
